    • Daedalus Developers' Board Opens!

       EV Developer's Corner

      Myself, CrazyChipmunk, Capt Editor, Draco (2488), diddlysquat, and Platypus have formed a group of developers and named ourselves the Daedalus Developers, and I and CrazyChipmunk have set up an EzBoard (yes, not the best choice, but our first choice costed $250. It was UBB, and we decided that we couldn't afford it). It can be found (url="http://"http://pub75.ezboard.com/bdaedalusdevelopers")here(/url).

      A bit more information about Daedalus:

      • Presidents: Myself (Lord Gwydion) and CrazyChipmunk

      • Mission development: Draco and Platypus

      • Graphics: CrazyChipmunk and Capt Editor

      • Ships, weapons, outfits, fleets, dudes, and personalities: Myself (Lord Gwydion)

      • Universes, systems, and stellars: diddlysquat, NNNormal

      And our future homepage (the page itself hasn't been made yet, but the URL will stay):
      (url="http://"http://homepage.mac.com/daedalusdevelopers")http://homepage.mac....dalusdevelopers(/url)

      And of course, we couldn't go without a logo. 😉

      I get this odd feeling of deja vu.

      Well, good luck, and I hope you have more success than the ones who've tried this before you.

      There has always been groups of people trying to start a 'company' or the like to produce plugs. The latest, Aeon, was a total flop and it had made the most progress out of all such endeavours. If you'll notice, all TCs that have been released so far have had only one or two people behind them and maybe a couple others that helped with graphics and testing (Frozen Heart and it's sequels, F-25, etc...). All prior groups have announced themselves exactly as you have, a big splash at the beginning with some real work actually being done but after a while they just fade away. This has been going on even ever since EV was released, though not so often (bigger engine = bigger ambitions). Having said all that, you may very well complete your plugs (or whatever you intend to do) so take heart and give it your best shot.

      Oh.. I thought he meant the word aeon... "aeon" means era, which is defined to be a period of time marked by a significant presence....

      you're sure right! Aeon actually did get some stuff done, but not much. it was a great idea, but just doesent work. and i dont think it ever will work... sorry to sound negative, guys... but the odds are against you.

      Be positive, at least they're trying. Maybe you should show us some of your oh-so-great-better-than-you graphics that you make.

      Anyway, good luck guys. As an aside, does anyone know of a TC that is still running after 2 years other than What If? (my plugin).

      Hmm. Well, I know there's Cold Blood......

      Good luck to the Daedalus Developers. May you meet with success. Ignore the pessemists.

      Perhaps now would be a good time to end this. I have made my point. Lets end this before we get in trouble for flame wars.... As outlined in the ASW Board Guidelines.

      This is probably fanning the flames which is a very bad thing, but I want to make a small point. Corsair Developers was the last to try, and at the moment Dreden War is starting alpha1. That's progress. And Dreden War will most definitely be finished, we haven't quit yet!

      But that's just a small point. This topic probably should be locked because of its excessive flaming. Sorry for posting that small point.

      It's very interesting how similar the Daedalus forms resemble that of the Corsair Developers. 😉

      Just so you know, Skyblade, I didn't make the forums. Although I made the board, I left it up to CrazyChipmunk (with a couple of bits of what I wanted) to make the forums.

      i wasn't going to bring this outside of the 2 group's boards, but yoou leave me no choice.

      The following was posted in the Daedalus Developers' BBS

      Captain Skyblade: I hate to say this...
      ------------------------------------------------------------------------
      ...But this is really a rip-off of the Corsair Developers. Even this form and the categories are very similar to that of our ezboard. And Crazy Chickmunk, if you are a co-president here, then I'm going to have to ask you to leave our development team. No offense to the Daedalus Developers, but I can't permit someone who is a member of another team to be on our team at the same time. Sorry, but that doesn't work with the CDs.
      -------------------------------------------------------------------------

      Where shall I begin? First off, My name is not Crazy Chi ck munk, its Crazy Chi p munk. Second off.... The name. Of course I am sure the first thing that caught your eye was the word "Developers" in out name. Take a look at the name of the ASW forum for plugin makers. EV Developer 's Corner. Can you think of a better word? Lets see what the thesaurasus has... Makers... No... Creators... No... Growers... No... Oh, wait! there is not another word that portrays so accurately what we do. Silly me. And the boards? If i were you I'd be both honored and gracious that an upstart group liked the layout of the Corsair Developers' BBS that they made a similar one. What is it you are afraid of? Competition? I got some news for you Cap'n: This ain't a race. It ain't a game. It ain't a god damn competition! So grow up.

      Oh, and by the way, Since I am kicked out and all, I just wanted to let you know that I will not be immature and disclose the knowledge of the Corsair Developers' BBS password....

      A Note to mods: Please close this post as it has become little more than a flaming battleground. We will defend our group on our own (url="http://"http://pub75.ezboard.com/bdaedalusdevelopers")Boards(/url), so as not to disrupt the ASW boards with such banter.I am sorry for the disruption.
