  2. Fan Mission: In the North (by grayman) (2012/10/20)

    in Fan Missions

    Posted · Edited by PPoe

    Im glad that you are enjoying the mod=) And this awesome mission of course.

     

    And what is even more important, finaly somebody from the czech comunnity who is active on forums. Can you give me some feedback on czech translation? Any found mistakes etc..? (the bad letters in inventory are caused by missing symbols, known problem, but more important things are being handled now by Tels- the only one I know about that is able to create new letters for the font TDM is using))

     

    (Budeme se dohadovat na nasem foru, ok? Nechci to tu zaplavovat ceskymi texty, to by bylo neslusne.)

  5. Steam: Greenlight

    Dont be so negative.. Ive played a loth of mission recentl and one thing is sure: TDM is awesome. And awesome stuff will always find a players.

     

    And collecting 100 bucks? That will be no problem I believe. I can donate, and collect, if you find me trustworthy. But we will talk about it before going standalone, not now.

    Its Czech language, not Polish=). The profile is already deleted, sorry for the wrong language setting.. I hope that most of you get at least the basic idea about the look of greenlight.

     

    This is a behind the scenes team member decision right? And not from this poll. Because I'm seeing 9 10 votes for instant greenlighting and 7 for delaying - it's just that the 9 10 are split between two options.

     

    No, its not.. If you take a look at the names, you will get the idea what the TEAM members want. And I thing that their votes are much more important, they created the whole thing. (Altrough Im not exactly sure who is a mod maker and ho isnt, so I may be mistaken.) I for example, did nearly nothing for the mod so far, thats why my opinion should be taken with less value..

    Ive put together a little preview, to show for those without Steam how Greenlight looks:greenhousef.jpg

     

    Most of the team members wants to wait till TDM will be standalone. That is fine. We can use the rest of the time to clarifie which screenhots and videos + description will be shown to the Greenlight users.

     

    Edit:How to show just a preview of the picture? I will edit this post when I will find out how to make to show just the picture preview..

    ...

     

    This was discussed before, many of the contributors arent working on the mod anymore, there are different mission autors, would it be still as funny as a hobby thing? etc. etc.

    If anyone want to repay the great time he had with TDM, he can offer help, or create his own mission.

    The only possible solution, as I see it, is to allow people to donate and from the money pool pay some proffesionals to do things that noone from the team could do. But all this is mainly on the development team, not on me..

    Standalone - coming soon!

    Can't wait? - it's available as a mod for Doom3.

    Thats exactly what Ive tried to say..

    Would the revelation it's going to be standalone qualify it? It seemed like the blurb I read about Greenlight didn't specifically say it had to be playable now

    It specialy say that it dont need to be finihed: "We encourage you to post information about your game as early in the development process as you are comfortable with. Greenlight will let you define whether you are posting your game as a concept/early build or as a playable game that is nearing completion."

    What Ive read so far, it takes a lot of possitive votes and a long time (weeks minimal), but we can just guess. If we will be just the mod that still needs DOOM 3 to run, Im unsure what will happen. There are a lot of mods, but also a lot of posts on the forum that greenlight is not for mods etc.. Nothing clarifies wheter it is aprooved by Steam or not.

     

    My suggestion is to present TDM as a standalone with "concept" label and in description will be a notice: If you dont want to wait, you can play already, visit www.thedarkmod.com for more info. Or something similar..

    You have to provide the main picture for your game on greenlight, so I think that TDM Logo is the best. But it have to be 512*512 minimal. I have resized the picture from the google picture search, but higher resolution will be better.

    I can do that, as soon as someone from the development team will acredit that. Ive wrote a bunch of question on Steam support (if the game can be for free, if there is some special work needed to make it running on steam, if we will have to pay something etc..), but still no responce.

     

    Do we have TDM Logo in higher resolution than 445*289?

    Hello, Ill post a discussion here, originaly between me and Tels. I will be glad to hear your opinion on this way of promotion:

     

    Me:

    Hello, I can take care about Steams greenlight.

    I thing that first of all we should create a topic about it, to discuss whether the mod development team want this or not. (Private forums maybe?)

    If we will decide to go for it, I can create Dark Mod profile in Steam greenlight. I can take care of this like as Nbohr1more is taking care about our TDM Moddb profile..

     

    Tels:

    It seems every other week there is someone who discovers TDM by googling for "thief mod" or "stealth gaming", so I think the added publicity from Steam can only help.

    But not sure if we want this before v1.08 (or even v1.09).

    Also, there is already a steam group, but I no longer have a steam account it seems, so I don't know much about it:

    http://steamcommunit...ups/thedarkmod/

     

    Me:

    The thing is, greenlight is new now. That means a lot of attention. I assume that it will fade, so the sooner we enter, the better.

    In Greenlight FAQ is written:

     

    Can I post my game concept or early builds?

    Absolutely! We encourage you to post information about your game as early in the development process as you are comfortable with. Greenlight will let you define whether you are posting your game as a concept/early build or as a playable game that is nearing completion.

    you will probably get great feedback and a good start in building a community of fans around your game.

    Can I update my entry after I've submitted my game?

    Please do! We encourage you to update your presence in Steam as often as you like to keep your fans and potential customers involved in your development process.

     

    So the only thing that interests me: Can we have the game for 0 cash? Where is the profit for Steam? I dont tning that they will be interested in something that wont bring them any profit. I will ask them on support.

    After we will be fully standalone, we can open the game for public to download wia Steam. I dont thing it is a good idea to do so before going standalone, if I can tell. But still, the sooner we will start to propagate our mod, the better.

     

    Tels:

    FWIIW, i agree that the sooner the better, due to the Greenlight thing getting flooded rather soon with all sorts of games (free publicity if free for game authors, too).

     

    Grayman:

    I haven't used Steam in years and don't know anything about Greenlight, so I don't have an opinion on this.

     

    Springheel:

    I know nothing about Greenlight or Steam either. My main concern right now is focusing on getting 1.08 into the light of day.

     

    Tels:

    I now that 7upman and StiFU are admins of the Steam group, and I think Biker, too. Maybe contact these people?
