Re: [Audyssey] Interest in your Helpful Resources
Hi, Yeah, sometimes working with a client can be challenging because often times the client doesn't really know what he/she wants. They have no understanding on if their idea is practical from a programming standpoint, and sometimes when outlining a project they can get pretty vague. It is, as you said, as though some clients expect the developer to pull the idea out of their head. That said, in this case the client is named Marci--a female client---and thus far she has been very vague on the details. I have e-mailed her requesting further information, but haven't gotten anything back. The original request from her was very vague. All we know at this point is the game is to be based on the Detective Abby books which I personally know nothing about. So a project like that could involve anything from a text adventure to a full blown FPS type action adventure. No way of saying what is expected without further details. Cheers!

Re: [Audyssey] Interest in your Helpful Resources
Mr. Kitchen, I believe we are in the same boat. While I have done programming work for other people, I have never tried to build a game that someone else had thought up. Working with a client is almost always a nightmare since they rarely understand what they actually want, and believe you can pluck their vision from out of their mind regardless of how poorly they describe it to you. Haha, I'm actually in the middle of that same sort of thing right now. I had a guy spot a youtube video of mine where I showcased a prototype vision system. He contacted me a few weeks ago and has hired me to build him something like it. This is actually why I've been so busy lately and haven't been more involved in the community for the past week. I can't remember if the person who contacted you was a man or woman, so I will use "He" as a gender-generic description. Did he give you a description of what they are looking for yet? If he has, I would be happy to take a look at the information also. --- On Sun, 10/16/11, Jim Kitchen wrote: > From: Jim Kitchen > Subject: Re: [Audyssey] Interest in your Helpful Resources > To: "Jeremy Kaldobsky" > Date: Sunday, October 16, 2011, 3:58 PM > Hi Jeremy, > > Thank you very much for offering to in the future maybe > doing some graphics for the game that Marci requested that I > make.

Re: [Audyssey] Interest in your Helpful Resources
Hi Jeremy, Thank you very much for offering to in the future maybe doing some graphics for the game that Marci requested that I make. The thing is, I was hoping that someone else would take up the entire project. I personally have never created a game by commission. You know all of my games I created because they popped into my head. Don't know that I would do so well trying to create a game that someone else had the idea as to what it should be. But anyway, thanks again.

Re: [Audyssey] core exiles help?
Hi Carry. Yes, the galaxy map is inaccessible. Fortunately, the galaxy plotter works fine. This lets you put in a start and end system into the list boxes and be shown all the systems you must go through, so know where your going, it also gives the fuel cost. It's available in the jump gate nexus under the plotter link, but can also be found http://www.core-exiles.com/099e24da60b139021a88d3d4527268fa/route/index.php I personally tend to have it open when choosing haulage missions or just about anything that involves flying around. hth.

I used to play CE a lng time ago and have just recently gotten back into it, and I'm on like the very first mission. How do you know how to get from one galaxy/system/planet/etc to another? there's a galaxy map but it seems utterly inaccessible? If someone would help I'd greatly appreciate it.
