[DEVELOPER DISCUSSION] One Room Round Robin 2 (SPOILERS)

[Ciccipicci]

There's a place for me ?

[SpiderFighter]

Well of course there is! I was hoping to see you in here. How does Room 11 sound?

Should we have somekind of timelimit for each level designer?
It has been quite long at lvl1.

Originally we tried for 36 hours, but that was only one room. I wanted to wait and see what an average time would be, but we can certainly throw that out to see what people think would be reasonable. I'm going to try to touch base with him this morning.

EDIT: I meant the original was 72 hours; not 36. Sorry for any confusion that caused.

I think it would be nice if we could say 'try to turn your room around in 2 days'. I don't think there is a need for a formal deadline, just a guideline. If it takes longer, we could always just suggest that we skip that person for now and come back to them later (we don't need to build this is order - we can just drop the keys in the empty rooms for now).

I'm going to lay the bones out for my room, but I'm going to wait for the scripting until I can execute it properly. It shouldn't take too long, in other words, as the physical assets are all ready to go.

The original was 72 hours for a suggested turnaround (not 36 hours, as I originally stated).

I could probably do my room in 1-2 days, as I have it already 99% done in my own template (just impatiently waiting for my turn to put into the real file)
Anyway it has been a lvl1 for almost 2(?) weeks, I think we should move on or something...

No man gets left behind, brother.
Just please be patient; I've put the word out to rLOVEution87. Let's give him a day or two to log in and reply. Sometimes, life gets in the way of things we'd rather be doing.

EDIT to add: My apologies. I hadn't realized tomorrow was two weeks already(!). I'll pay better attention.

Hi, if we don't have any news from the first modder, I think it's time to move on and he'lle be able to add his room later if needed...

The only things is that I hate for him to have done all that (potential) work, only to find we've moved on without initially setting a deadline. Unfortunately, he last logged in the day before we caught on and I sent him the PM:

But, I suppose you're right. He certainly should have dropped one of us a line by now.
I hate to jump the line like this, but I'm having surgery tomorrow, so we should probably skip me for now. Just go ahead and send it to JW when you're ready, Diarmuid. I think his room is already pretty much done, so we should be moving at a better pace now (sorry for the sudden change, John!).
