Don't be so harsh Overstatement.

But it is really important to post it in the right section and according to all rules.

[Overstatement]

Sorry but as a regular to gamedev.net (I got a gamedev pen from one of their local presentations), I completely hate it when new people register, post wrongly, post once, never come back and expect to build a PR relationship on that.

Especially with gamedev, they got lots of experts that are used to goodkebeb's quality of work and know how much work it takes to finish a game, they'll instantly see that we've still got a long long way to go. So you've got to work extra to impress.

[frvge]

You can always ask a mod to move it to the right section if it isn't properly placed. K good, that is your job now ;)


edit:
Gawain: please don't use 'u' as a substitution for 'you' in the recruitment posts. Doesn't sound very professional.

[Overstatement]

You also wrote "lightening". Even if it was spelled right, I have no idea what "spare lighting" means.

[Gawain]

Overstatement:
1. As a regular to gamedev.net, I wonder why you don't do the advertisement there?
2. Spare lightening is meant to mean something like showed in few light, in a dark room; I guess it was too much a 1to1 translation (I'm German as you might not know). What about "in the dark"? (In Germany this would be considered as kinda ironic since you can't see in the dark)
3. Regarding the Warning. Reason: Crossposting advert in 3 forums (Scripting, Your Announcements, Help Wanted) wtf??? i know posting in your announcements was a mistake, but i can't find any post in the Scripting area...

frvge: I overlooked the "u" and i will change it in every post asap.

1. Wouldn't that be taking a job away from you? Now that you've posted in every thinkable forum, you need to follow up on every forum. And I think everyone would argee, I'm not the kind of person that would make a good representative.
2. Oh! That "en" is a German thing, interesting. I think you should just say "real-time rendering", your programmer/animator will understand that.
3. It's ok, warning levels go down in time. I forgive you   :-* (that's right, I'm using the kiss to another man).

[Gawain]

Fixed all the things you guys complained about (except the length, because scct versus mode is not very common imo).  :)

3dbuzz.com is the next one on my list, but I'm really clueless in which subforum i should post. I won't post anything there until some of the more experienced persons here tells me exactly where.  ;)

Besides, we got too few programming communities on the list.  :(

[goodkebab]

thanx for the help Gawain.

[Overstatement]

Programmers don't need communities. We just read articles after articles and then, when we can't hold back anymore, we unleash code on the keyword. But I do know one more.

[Gawain]

I got one problem with devmaster.net  ???
Before posting a thread, please make sure it complies to the forum guidelines. The following type of threads are NOT acceptable:
Recruitment posts for projects or jobs. Exceptions to this policy are:
1. Job postings offering a regular salary (as opposed to "when it's done" profit sharing).
2. Established projects with at least one major release behind them.
are we "established" ;)

[frvge]

A monthly salary of 0.0001 euros is also a salary? Those Google guys only have 1 dollar salary a year. K, the rest of their income is with shares, but still..

Else ask a Mod if you're not sure.

[Overstatement]

Oh, nevermind about devmaster then. I miss flipcode.com :'(

[Gawain]

We should consider breaking the rules, because a wrong post is better than no post imo ^^

What about the Ubi forums (i don't know how present PS is there)? Any other ideas besides posting in forums? Maybe writing mails?

A completely different idea would be paying a professional designer for the tricky parts. Maybe this sounds crazy, but we have 91 registered members at the project page alone. If everyone is donating a sum between 50 and 150 bucks, we could get around 10 000  :o
Of course, this could only work with proper marketing; what about selling beta-accounts for around 20 bucks or offering ubi PS as the new versus mode for sc5 (this could only work in a much later state i know)? Money makes the world go round...
Would it be a copy-right problem if this turns into a commercial project?
Just some brainstorming, but considering how many of us spend 50 bucks on SC4 for nothing, we should free our minds  ;D
