I have a suggestion for the advancing of the project as of version >0.4.1
Of course it may be not the better move but regarding what became TA3D I believe it may be worth thinking just a minute about it.
Right now the BIG jobs are :
-refining pathfinding
-multiplayer support
-a working AI
Of course I can forget 1 or 2 others... as you can see I said BIG in capitals, meaning it will take a lot of time to complete and maybe/surely the work of several people, so there is the possibility that it won't be all fixed before maybe 6 months and several releases seeing the pace of the project.
My thinking is the following : Since we know how difficult are the BIG jobs, why won't take a break on these and for the next release, which is 0.4.2, concentrate on fixing the little annoyances ?
There are tons of little things that can be fixed in a matter of minutes, and cleaning all of these may make a path cleaner for the big iron.
For example those are :
-lasers with wrong color
-sounds not accurate with action
-inconsistencies in menu
-several little bugs in game (like the shadow placement I reported earlier)
I do believe that the more all the little things cleaned out, the more our developer people (okay, mainly zuzuf
) can really concentrate on fixing the BIG parts that will need a major re-writing.It takes lots of reflexion so it's better not being annoyed with little things, therefore clean them all first hand.
please discuss
