Development

ReBorn_Spirit · #1 10-05-2006, 04:39 AM

Okay, so who is incharge of Development here on GK? Because apparently Bjorn isn't anymore, or he is dead. Or I just dont see him ever. No really lets get going, I'll do something if you really wanted me to, just had to say something.

Hmm I suppose I better find Draxx...

Zero Hour · #2 10-05-2006, 04:44 AM

Bjorn is on throughout the day. Although there is very little development activety for sure.

Ravenblade1979 · #3 10-05-2006, 06:17 PM

What do you mean he is on? He is only on RC to see if something needs to be done then takes off on to play snooker. I don't think he's done something in a long time.

Draenin · #4 10-05-2006, 06:45 PM

Even if something does need to be done, I don't see it being done.

Magadal · #5 10-05-2006, 06:51 PM

As I said like 10 times now. Nothing against Björn, but we need a new Manager

People have tryed that before almost all the players for graal kingdoms wanted him fired but he didint get hired.

Ravenblade1979 · #7 10-05-2006, 09:46 PM

Well how did he end up with the access he has now?

lordbosh · #8 10-06-2006, 11:55 AM

I think he should be a developer. To be honest, a manager is something only a handful of people on GK dev have the qualifications for. And a few players, myself included.

The problem is the whole idea of the jobs. A manager shouldnt need to know a damn thing about scripting. A manager organizes projects based on who is availible to get those projects done and has a team to work. The manager is supposed to keep things moving smoothly, and be the coordinator of GK's development, and also help players with their problems.

As of now I think the manager was supposed to like, make projects, and test them? A failure of a job description for a manager for sure. If you want to see GK rock again, you will need to change all of the way things are done. I'd be willing to do it, but I doubt stefan and unixmad are willing to allow me to help them.

Management was handed over to him when Lance had to resign.

If he ever gets booted from his position, I just hope there is someone to take his position that will actually be dedicated to releasing updates and such...and also have the brain power as well to know how to do so, not implying this towards the current one, but towards future ones.

HitmanJ2XX · #11 10-06-2006, 06:31 PM

Also nothing against the staff, but GK needs visible/active Staff, sorta like UN but not all players as the positions would go to Drae, bosh, and maybe calani.
But the staff need to be showing that they are working and doing their part to improve the gameplay.

OasaTor_PK · #12 10-06-2006, 06:36 PM

oasa for gkownerlol

inc ::deleted for spam::

all I know, is bosh will never be manager /abuse imo.

Magadal · #13 10-06-2006, 06:37 PM

I may bug some of you with this, but I tried to join as a Dev, and Stefan told me that GK also needs graphics people and level makers, not only Scripters, as Björn told me. Scripting is the only thing I am too dumb to do. But I also got lots of ideas etc, and I got alot of time for Graal too :/

Draenin · #14 10-06-2006, 06:40 PM

I told staff yesterday that I'm pretty much done with caring about GK until the staff cares about Kingdoms. I don't really care who it is.

Sadly you wasn't interested in getting a feedback from me for the nighthawk levels. Maybe the new king will fix the bugs and get it uploaded.

I told you I would PM you the levelnames later. That doesn't mean I'm not interested in feedback, it means I wasn't going to do it right that second.

If there were bugged levels, they weren't my doing, considering that I didn't mess with scripts on those maps, apart from placing a few pink tree NPCs there for decoration, as well as a sign to mark Nighthawks Fortress. It's also amusing to note that you were looking at levels I haven't even given you the names for yet.

I thought you asked for the nighthawk castle levels to check.

Draenin · #20 10-06-2006, 07:48 PM

Uh, no. I redid the island itself. The castle inside is untouched. Instead of a bunch of forts being there, there should be a fairly large castle. Also, the insides of one of the buildings was updated, too. (The shop you make carpets in. I was able to get them working again, and rearranged everything so you could easily see them.)

Waltz5 · #21 10-06-2006, 07:48 PM

GK is horrible.

I've never seen a game with such bad management before GK... and to think people pay for this. Certainly won't be getting any more money from me unless things change.

And then when people want to help, all the staff can do is bash their work. "Bugged levels" or "Those stats are horrible, so we'll just throw the whole item out the window."

Yeah, which is why I'm not fooling with it anymore. You probably couldn't have said that any better.

Sam · #23 10-06-2006, 08:02 PM

I see. A good reason not to care or trying to help, if that is the reply to my offer.

Can you please rephrase that?

Ravenblade1979 · #25 10-07-2006, 05:53 AM

actually thats kinda hard to decipher.

again instead of complaining offer your help. The worst that can happen is that they can say no.

We've all made things enough to see them not get uploaded.

No thanks.

Ravenblade1979 · #27 10-07-2006, 06:45 AM

Just pm stefan. He will get back to you most likely. I barely see Bjorn these days.

Should that really be necessary? What's the point of having a manager if to get anything done you have to go over his head to Stefan?
