Yeah but in the TI community it's different. Solo games takes longer, but they have an higher chance of success because there isn't always 1 teamate suddenly vanishing off the face of the Earth with everyone's work or stuff like that and they are often horribly managed.

The only reason why big team projects like free to play MMORPGs succeed is because money is involved in the end (through ad revenues and in-game items such as experience boosters). When teams work for nothing it seems like there is an higher chance of seeing a member stopping caring althogether.

Yeah in general the most successful team projects for calcs were when only 1 person programmed the game (with someone helping optimize, like Runer112), while another person did the entire sprite work and storyline. But even then it can still fail, like Escheron: Shadow Over Rangaroth, which died because Zera vanished with the story script and most important related info. There really needs to be better management for such project as you say. In E:SoR's case, for example, the entire story and info should have been sent to Iambian right from the start or as it was written down, in case something wrong happened.

Good to hear. By the way is the lead written a fan of forums, especially gaming/programming/computer-wise? I wonder if he would be interested in updating us as well?

As he told me IRL the other week, he got a friend to help him continue writing the storyline.

Ah, cool. So you decided which language this is gonna be written in?

I actually meant the programming language

Is the style still like SNES RPGs with 16x16 tiles and with 2D tilemaps?
