I've never got around to trying mIRC, this could be the excuse I need to set it up. Will we go with that for monday next? maybe 8pm or so?

How does this sound to people?

Monday doesnt really suit me, I've football at 8

RedXIV · 22-08-2010 9:37am

Tuesday then?

same time?

Cheers for that docdolittle, will play with it tonight!

Will see if I can't come up with some basic agenda so we don't spend the first half an hour talking nonsense (as is normal in most of my meetings

)

humanji · 23-08-2010 9:14am

Sorry I couldn't get back to this thread sooner (I'd like to say it was for a good reason, but I was getting drunk, and then busy being hungover). Tuesday would be fine for me too. Although I've never used irc, so expect some hiccups on my part.

RedXIV · 23-08-2010 10:30am

Your not alone, took me a bit longer than I expected to get it up and running last night. Seems ok now though?

have come up with basic agenda, no particular order just stuff that warrants a mention I reckon:

Confirmation of Skillset
Platform to release on
Game Engine or hardcode
Game Concept
Art Style
Similar Game styles
Schedule
Developement tools
Managment tools
Correspondence system
Goals
Starting Point
Documentation

Like I said, this is just something thrown together to get people thinking about the stuff that is relevant.

witnessmenow · 23-08-2010 12:16pm

That suits me anyways

humanji · 23-08-2010 12:43pm

It looks good to me.

docdolittle · 23-08-2010 2:12pm

I can't... Limp Bizkit tomo night

RedXIV · 23-08-2010 2:13pm

Thats ok, it's NEXT week anyway, the 31st

witnessmenow · 23-08-2010 3:14pm

This can be the first thing we fight about, monday next in my mind is the next monday! :pac: Next Tuesday is fine for me anyways

I didnt realise they were even still alive!

RedXIV · 23-08-2010 3:17pm

From now on, i'll post dates only

for the sake of the people

:P Yup, seen them last year too, they are still pretty good

Yea cool, dates would probably be better :P Em... what irc server are we going to use? I'm usually on irc.coldfront.net... or have we decided what to chat on yet? :P

RedXIV · 23-08-2010 3:25pm

No idea, I honestly don't know alot about IRC so I'll leave it to someone with a bit more experience

DRakE · 25-08-2010 4:26pm

a lot of big ideas here

my advice would be to try and develop something basic that works, then art it up after.

RedXIV · 29-08-2010 12:08pm

Man, I suck at mIRC, I went looking for the server that docdolittle mentioned but couldn't connect.

Any tips?

humanji · 30-08-2010 4:58pm

Is this still a go for tonight?

RedXIV · 30-08-2010 5:13pm

Nope tomorrow.

Are you ok with mIRC now?

docdolittle · 30-08-2010 5:24pm

Nobody really has to know how to use it though, we just have to pick a channel on a server and link people that don't know how to use it to the chan in mibbit like this

Edit... hope that made a bit of sense :P

Gotta admit, he know's his stuff

How about we let docdolittle set up the channel etc, post them up here and then we can follow you in, with an added link to mibbit for anyone who is nervous about IRC, which will probably include me

I don't mind, what time around? My mIRC is usually set to record everything said, so we'll have it all recorded too, just remind me to check that it's on before we start :P

RedXIV · 30-08-2010 5:37pm

I think we're still gunning for 8 so set up stuff at 7:50? Shouldn't take any more than 10 mins should it?

I'll prob be on before then anyway, I'll set it up early and let people come in before 8 to get used to it or whatever. If it says docdolittle[AWAY] on me tomorrow, I won't actually be away, that's just so people won't keep sending me messages from other places

witnessmenow · 30-08-2010 7:21pm

I'll be there in body anyways , mind will depend on how work goes

witnessmenow · 31-08-2010 7:52pm

i irc no good

RedXIV · 31-08-2010 7:53pm

we can start msn?

witnessmenow · 31-08-2010 7:57pm

well what server and channel are we using? That might help

RedXIV · 31-08-2010 8:00pm

lol i've no idea

give docdolittle 5 mins and then we'll concentrate on something else

humanji · 31-08-2010 8:00pm

I'm running very late today. If I can get back soon enough then I'll try and join in.

RedXIV · 31-08-2010 8:02pm

no problem, we can keep it going for a while anyway

witnessmenow · 31-08-2010 8:04pm

Im using this at the moment

http://mibbit.com/?channel=%23boards&server=irc.coldfront.net

Anyone wanting to join in (more the merrier!) can join in above!

humanji · 01-09-2010 8:38am

Sorry I couldn't make it on last night. I had thought that Tuesday was only going to be for last week and we were going to be on Mondays from this week on. So all the meetings I had planned for Monday I had moved to Tuesday and didn't have enough time to move all of them on.

Are we 100% going to be doing this on Tuesdays? If so, I can make sure they're clear from now on.

RedXIV · 07-09-2010 11:00am

Up for another chat again soon lads?

humanji · 07-09-2010 11:11am

Yeah I am. Although it's most likely going to take me a while to figure out how to use irc. I'm rubbish with this sort of thing. :d

RedXIV · 07-09-2010 11:20am

Just use the link that docdolittle set up last time, it's ridiculously simple interface after that with an in-browser chat client

humanji · 07-09-2010 11:37am

I think you underestimate how incompetent I am!

RedXIV · 07-09-2010 11:49am

I have faith in your ability to learn

docdolittle · 07-09-2010 12:56pm

It's very easy to use, press this write in name, you're in it :P When are we going to chat next then? Oh, I have some scripts in Unity controlling a box moving in 3rd person with a camera following, I'll work on it a bit more now and send it when we start our chat.

RedXIV · 07-09-2010 1:27pm

I haven't played with Unity myself yet, whats it like to code for?

humanji · 07-09-2010 2:09pm

Are people free tonight? I've been working on a few story ideas and game mechanics/gimmicks etc. Not sure if they're any good, but they might help give us a little focus as to where the goal lies.

RedXIV · 07-09-2010 2:10pm

I'd be free around 9?

docdolittle · 07-09-2010 2:35pm

I'm free then too, just hopefully I don't forget this time :pac:

humanji · 07-09-2010 3:21pm

Yeah, 9 is great for me.

RedXIV · 07-09-2010 3:23pm

Will pop Witnessmenow an email so, just in case he's busy today

you ok with looking after the channel doc?

docdolittle · 07-09-2010 3:30pm

I'm on it now :P I'll prob just leave it on for the night anyway

If I don't reply, I think I told you last time, doc, docdolittle and other things will highlight me so I'll prob hear it

docdolittle · 07-09-2010 9:01pm

T'is 9

RedXIV · 07-09-2010 9:23pm

sorry guys, small emergency here. Will get there asap

DRakE · 09-09-2010 3:36pm

so whats the idea for the game then?

humanji · 09-09-2010 4:58pm

We haven't decided. Is anyone online tonight to go over it?

What about a boardsie made game?
