Title: about the guidelines for people who want to put forth things to the project
Post by: Crash!!! on March 02, 2008, 12:38:46 PM
well I've been seeing a recent trend of alot of people wanting to donate their work to OA but their hasn't been any guidelines anywhere! well how the heck do we know whether what we want to donate coincide with this project. Well first thing I want to clear out is can somebody answer what is the art direction of this thing (I read somewhere kinda anime style but alot of the CHARACTERS DONT MATCH THIS DIRECTION(ACTUALLY ALMOST ALL OF THEM). Also more importantly for me is what is the music direction (read somewhere it was something like a dark trance/techno style)...kinda weird for a violent game like this :)) Oh also since the project did have to deal with the evilair texture audit what do you want us to save this in ? the GIMP binary? also what if it is a single laired graphic where can youu show that you authored it (example lets say I took a picture of a brick wall how can I prove it was my picture not theirs? Also well most importantly what tracker format do you want us to save the music in. (Hopefully this clears alot of the things that has been blocking this project from going full-steam :)

Also what does "emphasis on quality" mean?  Does that mean photo-realistic textures?  Complete scratch?  Maps from people that say "OA isn't shit?"

All of these questions need to be answered by the leader, preferably in a timely manner.

Seen Angelyss and Sergei models? Seen the oa_dm3 map? If that's not 'quality' then I don't know what is. OA has other stuff that doesn't meet up with this.

Was that so hard?  Now answer the rest of the questions without the snark.
