Here is a recent IDB (Immortal Discussion Board) post that shows what we're up to at the moment. We have the teams picked out now and are getting started.
We're going to go through a decisionmaking process to finalize some of the game's major systems. Here is how it will work:
Each major system will have an HL+ coordinator / decisionmaker. They'll recruit team members to help gather information.
Each team will compile information from the wiki, IDB, and elsewhere. All brainstorming should be gathered. This is not a new brainstorming stage, its a matter of gathering all the brainstorming that has already been done.
Team lead reads the compiled info, decides what the system will be based on these ideas. It may be specific ideas, combinations of ideas, or whatever makes sense. Coders confered with for "is this possible" verification.
Team generates summary of system.
System posted on wiki/IDB for general comment. Again, this will be to look for holes or problems with the system, not a brainstorming session. This will be 1-2 weeks depending on how much discussion happens.
Any changes are made, team lead submits finalized system to OLs for last sign-off.
OL provides signoff fairly quickly. If there is OL discussion it may be a week or two, but the system is already very polished and is probably good to go.
Team incorporates OL feedback if needed.
System approved.
Team writes official (staff and player) documentation. This may include documentation of the game mythos, system specifications for coders to work from, or whatever is appropriate for the given system.
Currently team leaders are:
Classes / Skills -- Raesanos
Time / Weather -- Mekeda / Tiernan (since he already has determined much of this)
Combat -- Belenos
World Economy -- Mekeda / Vanth
Magick / Mythos -- Adhira (to confer Raesanos on class / skill aspects)
More may come as needed.
Use this thread to discuss and volunteer for / create teams.
