without being able to hear the voice....
seriously it looks like part male part female!!! Does someone have the mentioned CD:
http://innergroove33.8m.com/quake1.htm ? There's archiving dedication and then theres collecting stuff like that.
Only available on cd? Damn. They're running another Q2DM mapping contest at the Q2Cafe some time in August: http://leray.proboards34.com/index.cgi?board=6thmappingcontest
Too bad it's focused on DM. Would be nice if they combined it with the QExpo, though I doubt they even know about it. lol people keep playing [^q](.*)?DM? roulffff...
ZzZzZzzZzzzzzzz How do you usually cope with different levels of perfectionism in the art dept.?
ATM i have this weird situtation, where: 0) it's a freetime project with no roles/responsibilities defined 1) i'm the only guy who ever did anytyhing game related art-wise 2) we have a modeler who's surprisingly good at things he never did before, but still 'has potential' as i see it 3) me saying 'hey tweak it there, and here' (design things) 4) some other guy (who already didn't agree with the one art decision we made) arguing against virtually every single thing i say 'could be worked upon' to. At first he complained about stylistic things, now he complains that i want too much, that we don't have the ressources to be any better and that we should get it over with and start the next model, so we at least have a few. There's no deadline involved, and our first model took about a day or so of time for the modeler, total time about a week max, which i found surprisingly fast. What do i do? That other guy just thinks 'it's good enough', while i think 'could be better' - and i'm tired of arguing against him. All the other guys didn't give their opinion on things. My view is that we need to perfect the first model as much as we can (within reasonable time & ressources) to nail down the style and skill level, so all the next models aren't wasted at the end. What makes this a bit complicated is that the model is more a fit to the other guys views than to what we laid down, so he naturally thinks of it better as it is. I told him to recreate a discussion about design style guides if he's unsatisfied with the current one or otherwise try to hold his opinion back and just take the guide as a basis for criticism, but that just lead to a disasterous argument just now ;) It sounds like you don't have a project leader who has the authority to make decisions. Design by comittee rarely works out in then long run. I say decide on someone to be the leader or suffer more of this in the future. :)
Everything was fine until #4. Someone has to be able to lay down the law. seeing as it's a freetime project this will probably piss off dude #4 who will leave, so be ready for that. has he contributed anything besides a contrary attitude?
in any team. And "players" must have the gift of humility. And ultimately trust the nazi.
I mean in any artistic team-based project there has to be one guy who is able to make descisions/talk down to people. Although that figure must be able to be reasonable too..... it's sad, but atm it looks like we need hierarchy. Establishing a leader now will be very difficult though...
No, the other guy hasn't really contributed much, so that won't be that much of a problem. More opinions, experiences, advice, etc. appreciated. No man or woman is worth your tears,and the one who is ,won't make you cry.
