While We Wait: Writer's Block & Other Lame Excuses

[thomas.berubeg]

Just saw this - congrats thomas, that's awesome I believe I was reading about your upcoming MMO via a random facebook link - alternate history MMO!?

That's the one!

 

[Dachs]

Alternate history, huh.

We certainly don't have any people around here who might be interested in bugging you about that endlessly, looking over your shoulder, nitpicking at the slightest thing, and attempting to take credit for your own ideas. No sirree.

Was it partly your idea, thomas? I'm sure the community will be more than willing to contribute to this

Also, I would just like to share that I has a happy. Photoshop had been struggling to run my new generation of sprite-bloated maps (1000's of separate objects, which its not really designed for) and was using several gigs of ram to do so, bringing my poor laptop crashing to a halt. But I just discovered that Illustrator can handle them very easily and quickly in just a few hundred megs. Thus, seemingly completely removing the limits on future iterations of the NESCraft world and other projects.

I can see multiple people willing to contribute.

Yeah, we sound so inviting!

Oh, wait.

 

[thomas.berubeg]

Not my idea, but one that I'm very happy to work on... When we get closer to things, I'll definitely going to be asking around here for advice/help/etc.

And bugging you all in reverse with it.

 

[Grandkhan]

We're probably going to bug thomas about it so much that he'll end up making it the most horribly implausible Alternate History imagineable just to infuriate us.

Nazis pulling off Sealion and while the Byzantine Empire rampages in Africa, for no reason other than because it will give us apoplectic fits after all the bugging we gave him.

How about this one?

 

[Dachs]

Oh, wait.

I was making fun of myself.

 

[Angst]

I believe NK was also jesting.

 

[Daftpanzer]

Just wondering what people think of this style of map, is it cute and informative or too cluttered?

EDIT: first off, I need to find an image sharing site that will not change large PNG's to JPG's and thus screw them over completely. The map in question is just over 1mb. Can anyone help??

EDITEDIT: @NK, I kinda just saw the excellent terrain map for N3S in the last two updates. Did you make this yourself, and was it a Blue Marble cut & blend, like my map for DaftNES2 back in the day? I think it turned out rather well!!

 

[Thlayli]

Here's one that might work: http://www.picfront.org/ Claims to support up to 8MB file sizes, haven't tested it though.

 

[Daftpanzer]

Hmm, not sure if direct linking works or not? I can see the map below, but I guess that may be because its already cached at my end.

Spoiler :

 

[merciary]

I can see it just fine.

 

[madviking]

http://minus.com/ is imgur but with a higher png conversion threshold.

Doesn't seem to work for me.

 

[Tycho]

Same, not working on my end.

 

[Gem Hound]

Not working here either.

 

[merciary]

Well it did work for me when I posted but it doesn't appear to be working anymore.
