Did that title grab your attention? Good, now this is either great news or a mistake, depending on where your values lie.
Following on from the work @Gazebo has done with the Community Patch DLL, he has PM'd me with the desire to work together in creating the 'balance' patch mod for that DLL.
He recognizes the great steps forward that CEP has made in that regard and didn't want to re-invent anything or duplicate efforts on the same goal.
My response is of course, "fantastic, let's do this", however it would be impertinent of me to presume everyone else thinks that way. So, what do you think of the idea?
My goal would be to leave this mod at the stage that it is now, maybe someone else could use it to build something or perhaps some of the other contributors might return and want to start from a familiar place. At any rate that would mean starting a fresh mod with most of the code, that works, in place and new code that leverages the DLL added to make a new faster, slicker mod. Perhaps named to reflect it's heritage and also to assist users in finding the mod that carries on from where this leaves.
I, or Gazebo, would also make this a Steam release so those that are subscribed to Communitas will have somewhere to go for updates. No-one can do anything for those users at the moment as the Steam release is solely under Thalassicus's control.
As this is supposed to be a 'community' mod, I thought everyone deserves some input into this decision. Just to let you know though, even if everyone wants to keep this mod as seperate entity and not join with any other developers, I feel the need to join with something that is progressing, not just limping along. I would therefore drop my role from here whatever the decision, not that would make a big issue.
We will look into getting a new sub-forum, like this one, to handle the varied areas of discussion that a 'balance' mod would need: Leaders, policies, faith, etc. That way the desired discussion necessary to truly community based mod would remain and not have good ideas lost in the onslaught of disparate discussions.
Thoughts?
