FUCK YOU WAZAT

Selling Is Easier If You Know What You're Selling 
It's like this. I took a demo of a little game concept I had to an games outfit on Thursday.

They liked it. Which is nice, EXCEPT:

At the time they started talking about potential markets and what sort of price was I expecting, I was having immense trouble keeping up with what they were saying. All memory of that aspect is corrupted.

I don't know if they expect me to sell them the concept, or the rights, or what. I've never done anything like this in my life before. And they want an answer by Monday.

I have no idea what to say or do. Nor how to respond.

Some of you, I know, are already in the industry. As such, I seek your advice. 
Not That I'm In The Industry... 
Maybe you need a lawyer familiar with this sort of process?

Yes, the first thing you want to do is have someone who is familiar with written, legally binding, agreements have a look at it.

Second, ask for a second meeting to get things cleared up, they want to be on the same page as you - if they balk at this they're not a serious company anyway. Bring someone along, a friend that can just sit down with his or her mouth shut and listen in, taking notes and looking busy.

Ask for a pause if you get stressed up, just tell them you need a cup of coffee or something cold to drink. 
Request 
Can someone please change the download link on the last news post to

http://ethereal-hell.telefragged.com/guncotton.zip

The one at the moment leads to a corrupt zip and fp has locked the file for some reason so i can't upload on top of it or delete it. cheers. 
Kona: 
fixed. 
/me HUGS Descartes 
Hmm 
Not literally hug Descartes, mind you. I don't think his remains rate very well on the Hugability Scale. 
Hehe... 
The evil deceiver tricks R.P.G. into believing he is hugging Descartes.

Ah, yes. It will be forever burned in history.

At least until we fix the original QMap. :) 
New Site Up 
This isn't that much to get excited over, but I have finally finished my web site, designed by Phait. It contains all of the levels that I have ever made, including perhaps a few here and there that haven't been available before. The url is the same as before, http://www.planetquake.com/tronyn
Enjoy browsing, and perhaps sometime this summer I'll have a new Q1SP release for you.
Cheers,
Tronyn

Congrats with the site!

but links in the left menu not worky! :( 
Oh Yeah... 
i noticed too... the links on some of the pages ("quake episodes," for example) are pointing to "file:///c:/mysite/whatever" 
That's His Doing.. 
Really, ask him!

Vondur Would Never Design A Broken Site!!!!!!111 
:P 
Not Vondur.. 
Tronyn! :P

I made the template, he went from there. 
Oh.. 
You were being sarcastic.
I think.

-hides- 
Heh 
metal slime, go..uhm...sigh 
Heh 
It works now. The problem was caused by a difference between the editor I'm now using, and the one I was using before (in which entering an html file as a link wouldn't "permenantly" point at that file but rather just its relative location.)

Anyway, fixed. Enjoy.
(I guess this wasn't newsworthy). 
Tronyn 
Did you get the mail I sent you with the zip file attached? If not I can resend or upload the file for you, let us know. 
Tronyn: 
it's good to tell people, but i try to avoid having personal news on the front page (biff's site redesigned, qmd retiring, vondur giving birth, etc.) 
Good To Tell People... 
that you have a new website, i mean. 
Metlslime Wants An 'edit' Function. 
I know this. 
Metal Slime
