| 06:11.02 | Constitution | yep, I figured, but I thought I would ask :) |
| 06:11.29 | Constitution | nobody seems really interested in working on the code we have, anyway? most of the proposals seemed to be new or independent projects |
| 06:12.02 | JeffM | yup same as last year ;) |
| 06:18.08 | JeffM | waits for someone to sugest that advertising will fix it |
| 06:18.41 | allejo | advertising the return of the start button fixed windows |
| 06:18.57 | JeffM | have you ever installed 8.1? |
| 06:19.09 | JeffM | people wanted the menu not the button :) |
| 06:19.26 | allejo | ew god no. os x <3 |
| 06:19.35 | JeffM | and that wasn't advertsing that was bad press |
| 06:19.45 | JeffM | the start buton is not the same as the start menu |
| 06:20.00 | JeffM | it still brings up the full screen metro GUI |
| 06:20.20 | allejo | which is atrocious on a desktop |
| 06:20.45 | JeffM | yeah |
| 06:20.56 | JeffM | I use Start8 and evething is good |

| 17:55.00 | JeffM | huh? |
| 17:55.25 | JeffM | oh yeah |
| 17:55.28 | JeffM | those games do a lot |
| 17:55.30 | swigg_ | you were looking @ other sites |
| 17:55.37 | JeffM | I was just reading steam stats from last night |
| 17:55.48 | swigg_ | I wonder if a google bomb would boost the game. |
| 17:55.50 | JeffM | our 6 peopole was sad |
| 17:55.53 | JeffM | no |
| 17:55.57 | JeffM | nobody will stick |
| 17:56.04 | JeffM | it has too many issues |
| 17:56.10 | blast007 | what if we make it a glue bomb? |
| 17:56.21 | JeffM | we get several THOUSAND people hitting the site and only a few stay to play |
| 17:56.31 | JeffM | well then they'd stick to something :) |
| 17:57.07 | swigg_ | how did the game originally catch on? |
| 17:57.18 | *** join/#bzflag catay (~smertens@valyria.catay.be) |
| 17:57.20 | JeffM | it shipped with SGI machines |
| 17:57.29 | swigg_ | I went to a few sites like Habbo and found a lot of creeps |
| 17:57.32 | JeffM | then it was one of the few nework games |
| 17:57.36 | JeffM | it's no longer unique |
| 17:57.59 | JeffM | it used to be somewhat before it's time, now it's behind the times |
| 17:58.03 | swigg_ | I have seen one SGI machine in the last decade. Neat box. |
| 17:58.05 | JeffM | expectations are different |
| 17:58.24 | blast007 | hats! |
| 17:58.30 | JeffM | you can't really compare social game numbers to action game numbers |
| 17:58.49 | JeffM | production value not withstanding, bxflag is up aginst things like TF2 |
| 17:58.52 | JeffM | and all them hats :) |
| 17:59.09 | JeffM | so people have a lot more choices these days and we don't do anything to stand out |
| 17:59.29 | JeffM | and no, poor network performance doesn't count as a 'feature' |
| 17:59.32 | swigg_ | it's fun... and addictive to some |
| 17:59.38 | JeffM | to a few |
| 17:59.48 | JeffM | not as many as there used to be |
| 18:00.03 | JeffM | but yes, it could be fixed |
| 18:00.12 | swigg_ | agree |
| 18:00.20 | JeffM | it's just that I don't think advertising is going to get people to come and stay |
| 18:00.38 | JeffM | if you advertised now you'd do more harm as you'd make people look at an inferior product |
| 18:01.21 | blast007 | we'd need at least the 2.6 proposed features before we should even think about advertising |
| 18:01.30 | JeffM | at the VERY VERY least |
| 18:01.34 | JeffM | and it'd have to be rock solid |
| 18:01.55 | swigg_ | well... if head cheese, souse, limburger cheese, sardines, liverwurst, eggplant can survive.... |
| 18:02.25 | JeffM | yeah but they arn't really being developed into new things :) |
| 18:02.26 | swigg_ | or even that 'click' game can make it... |
| 18:02.49 | swigg_ | and THAT game sucks... |
| 18:03.03 | JeffM | the only way to 'ship' unfinished software these days is to sell it as early access or beta |
| 18:03.15 | JeffM | then the expectations are lower |
| 18:03.39 | JeffM | hell, Sony is currently selling 100$ packages that allow access to a friggin alpha |
| 18:03.49 | swigg_ | http://www.clickclickclick.com/ |
| 18:04.10 | JeffM | just play cookie cliker instead |
| 18:04.48 | swigg_ | oh yeah; that one |
| 18:05.19 | JeffM | those games are cheap to maintain for the user and don't require a community |
| 18:06.01 | JeffM | and the founder hasn't given up on them since it's worth the time/money due to add revenue |
| 18:07.59 | JeffM | but at least a min of 6 players makes it an easy target to beat for anything else :) |
| 18:09.33 | blast007 | the only thing we really need is a kill cam |
| 18:09.52 | JeffM | and tbags |
| 18:10.33 | JeffM | how can you truely indicate to your opponent that you have beaten them if you can't drag some truck nutz across them? |
| 18:11.40 | blast007 | ;D |
| 18:12.17 | JeffM | it's wierd, in my unity test you can't drive into other players, I didn't realise how different that would be |
| 18:12.52 | JeffM | and also since I don't have death hooked up yet the shots bounce off other players |
| 18:16.56 | JeffM | any web monkeys want to help work on the authentication system for it? |
