ThickAsThieves: this
topic (and more i wish
to bring up) is very interesting
to me, so I apologize if it's boggong
the channel
KLYE: I appreciate
the summon.
KLYE: Alright MP. I will see what I can do. It seems
that
the FUDsters have started attacking my
thread. I will see if I can summon some girls over for your photo shoot. In
the mean
time I must go
troll hunting.
mircea_popescu: but
to some degree... style may also be an emergent property of groups
ThickAsThieves: there are ways
to mitigate
this
to almost seamless effect
mircea_popescu: KLYE anyway,
they don't have
to be in
the same room specifically, if you don't intend
them
to do group work.
mircea_popescu: so very much coherence of style is a bridge
too far in all cases anyway.
mircea_popescu: ThickAsThieves however,
to round
that point : no modern game can feasibly made by exactly 1 person. practical games are made by
teams, and a lot of content is needed. as
the game goes
through its cycle,
the
teams change anyway.
ThickAsThieves: a style guide might also get
technical
to help 3d artists know
the boundaries and specs of each hero race
mircea_popescu: but eventually you gotta follow
through, it's what business is built on.
KLYE: I certainly hope you aren't discrediting me for not being able snap my fingers and have
the whores over now.
These women like booze and parties. As it sits I have neither, nor is it
that
time of day yet. And as explained before I am hesitant
to get
them all
together.
They may be whores.. But last
thing I need is
them all pissed off at me for putting
them in
the same room as one another.
hanbot: KLYE> Hahaha,
The
thing about whores MP is
they are not easily summon-able / odd, i
thought
that was
the point. easy come, easy go.
ThickAsThieves: it just makes sure all
the furniture looks good in
the room
mircea_popescu: "please make everything look like heroes series, mp loved
those
ThickAsThieves: WoW's style guide might say "please
try
to use blocky, child-friendly shapes"
mircea_popescu: KLYE not really much
to explain. if i ask you and you say you got a harem o' girls, you gotta have
them
then.
ThickAsThieves: <+mircea_popescu>
ThickAsThieves
the current
thinking is
that if by style guide you mean,
that
the same hand visibly had designed everything,
that
that's a luxury we don't want
to afford /// not exactly, a style guide is more like a branding guidelines document, it defines
the overall style of
the game, creating boundaries for artists
mircea_popescu: ThickAsThieves
there's a lot
to discuss on
this point, but i
think style may emerge.
mircea_popescu: gotta be very careful not
to use words you can't back, in
this rap biz :p
KLYE: My harem is not live in
though.. Not yet.
mircea_popescu: KLYE
the difference between a harem and anything else is
that
the harem does
things on
the spot.
KLYE: That, And it is a
terrible conflict of interest for all of my consorts
to know about eachother. I am honest with
them I am not monogamous.. But I haven't
tested putting
them in close proximity
to one another.
mircea_popescu: ThickAsThieves
the current

KLYE: Hahaha,
The
thing about whores MP is
they are not easily summon-able. Hard
to get
them over (let alone all of
them in one room) and an absolute bastard
to get
them
to leave once
they are here.. :P
KLYE: Do you mind if I quickly go check my
threads and email? I slept a little longer
than I wanted
to
this morning and need
to catch up with a few investors I imagine.
KLYE: My one is away at school at
the moment. Another is enroute from BC.. I have a small handful of girls
that would enjoy
this
though. Once I explain
to
them who you are I imagine
they would without question.
KLYE: Hahaha.
That can be arranged MP.
ThickAsThieves: now i should rephrase
to, will
there be an inital set pf graphics
the game is launched with, with a style guide - separately from any continuously solicited graphics -- or is my vision of "coninuously created graphics" off
the mark, where
theyll be not even a shade of
the dota community approach
KLYE: As it sits at
this current moment I am looking into exactly what Cameras I'd like
to invest in.. I need PTZ
technology built in. But I also don't want
to invest in cheap hardware and have it break quickly
mircea_popescu: have
this local harem strip and hold a sign saying "hello mp!".
ThickAsThieves: so
this goes back
to my questions, as my goal wasnt
to compare market approaches anyway
mircea_popescu: nothing bad about it,
these happen.
that's why "forced"
ThickAsThieves: (i could easily mark improvements for dota's market as applied
though)
mircea_popescu: ThickAsThieves yes,
true, for
the purposes and in
the constraints
they had
they did great. i still
think it a forced mistake.
KLYE: Well MP. Right now I am collecting initial investment capital
to acquire my Studio proper equipment and space
to essentially prove
that my business plan is profitable and viable
ThickAsThieves: while Dota is in no way a perfect bitlancer, it is also debatable
to call it half-assed
tfor
the purposes it was designed
mircea_popescu: but i don't believe
the best way
to achieve
that is
through half-assing
the marketplace design.
KLYE: It's my initial seeding of what eventually will be
the new standard for live adult entertainment
ThickAsThieves: and you wantthe designers
to know
they have a dedicated
thriving community
to consume
them
ThickAsThieves: you want
the players
to be enthusiasts of
the designers and designs
mircea_popescu: yes. but strategically, do i want
to encourage a few good people
to make a few good skins as you call
them
ThickAsThieves: people like
the option of options,
to feel
they have choice, but in a marketing sense,
they dont functionally like it
too much choice
ThickAsThieves: i'm saying
that dominating customer attention gains benefit
ThickAsThieves: and
thin out
the focus and perceived value of
the brand
ThickAsThieves: moving it
to a bitlance.io would
throw it into
the wild
ThickAsThieves: branding/community - Having it intregrated allows focus on
the game, removes distractions, and creates a sense of worth, even for "worthless" skins
ThickAsThieves: i'm sure i can
totally articulate why i
think dota's approach has advantages, but i'll
try
ThickAsThieves: yes and no, i
think
there are marketing considerations
mircea_popescu: doesn't
this design start
to sound
to you like
that famous
turtle ?
BingoBoingo: The in game browser is one of
the worst
things about Eve
ThickAsThieves: it will be rather difficult
to develop a
thriving eulora skin market in bitlancer.io
mircea_popescu: like, poor indian woman marries some poor indian schmuck rather
than me.
mircea_popescu: dota didn't make
the choice
tonot make a freelance.com killer.
mircea_popescu: yes, but
that is not a choice on dota's part, but a forced mistake.
mircea_popescu: i want
to have a services market, as integral part of bitcoin.
ThickAsThieves: I assume
this consists of incentivizing designers
to make skins and such
ThickAsThieves: 1. You want
to have an open market for artwork be an integral part of Eulora
fluffypony: ThickAsThieves: be sure
to use
the new symbol
moiety: i know D; i havent lost anything in ages.
this will be
the reminder for
the next few years XD
ThickAsThieves: <+mircea_popescu>
ThickAsThieves im not sure i get what you're asking
there. /// I'll break it down into bits
TheNewDeal: who is
the Milk character
that's referenced at
the bottom of
the bitbet faq?
mircea_popescu: moiety yes, mormons use special blessed underwear. also,
this is why you save periodically.
moiety: i had a large bot guide
typed out and my laptop died
mircea_popescu: i wonder if mormon porn includes
the special underwear.
fluffypony: moiety: I'm all for it, was just
teasing kakobrekla
moiety: fluffypony: not entirely hand holding just a 'dont ask why if you cant be arsed
to read
the collated info and steps or manuls shall be set upon you'
thingy
fluffypony: A Mormon guy goes into a hotel and checks in, he says "I hope
the porn in my room is disabled".
The guy behind
the desk replies "no it's just regular porn you sick fuck".
ozbot: White House seeks legal immunity for firms
that hand over customer data | World news |
theguardian.
fluffypony: moiety: just don't
tell kakobrekla about it, he hates hand holding
moiety: aye be nice
to collate it all
together and hand a hand holding step by step
mircea_popescu: moiety you can cobble it
together, out of nano's gribble intro linked above and
the general assbot stuff.
moiety: do we have a first steps in assets guide?
this would be good for ze wiki
