Week 3: Da Code

I'll do something to help fundation soon.

Yea, I don't mind. I purchased a license for Daikon Forge GUI. I was saving money myself to get it, but it would have been another month before I could come up with the extra cash. So some people just helped shave a month off of development (That's why it felt so good )

Awesome! Also that's really cool to know it saved y'all a month. It's also cool to have that transparency, and know exactly what's going on behind the scenes (whenever it makes sense to share). It helps me feel more like I'm part of the process, or that I know more of what's going on!

Donated $25. Hope it will help!

What's the name of the game?

Currently all we have is the codename: Llamaquest.

Yea, as pink said, we don't have a real name yet as we are only in week 3 of development. Once some more of the game specifics start getting solidified a better name will form. In the meantime we just call it LlamaQuest so we don't have to keep referring to it as "The Game".

And to everyone who has donated, I just want you to know it is appreciated. I think I'll be sending out an email to those who donated soon and ask if they want to have a tag under their name saying "supporter" (or similar). Some people might want to be anonymous and hang in the shadows and I respect that.

I hate to post suggestions outside of the designated posting area but I feel as this is an appropriate place to give feedback on the topic. I agree that "The Game" does need a name. However, names such as LlamaQuest or PixelQuest are fast turn-offs for teens and somebody not as interested in a cartoonish game. An example of the name "Minecraft" suggests the game involves mining and crafting of items. This does not reflect on the intense PvP combat the game offers and thus does not appeal to a more aggressive PvP audience.

Also, as a more "Thank You" suggestion, place titles in-game as both a prefix and suffix of a name "ex: Warrior Llama" and reward users who are donating now for their gracious help during these development stages. 

I would like to also offer a personal thank you to everybody contributing to this project (whether staff or donator). You are making this game possible.  

As Pinkcrown said this is going to be the codename, then they are going to change the name when the game is released.

Woooo Unity!


can't wait for.. developement blog 5. Lots of updates and stuff.. looking forward to seeing how this will go
=]

aquaprofile what's wrong with devblog 4?

And mvp, thing is that not even we know what the game is going to be like. There might be mining and there might be crafting. We know the grand view of the game, what we are striving for, but MANY of the small details haven't even been brought up. We still haven't decided what the main focus is going to be that we leverage to draw people in. What we have is a rough outline of classes, skill trees (like categories, not actual skills) and we are currently throwing around ideas for a storyline and rough world view of the map. Pretty much everything that I've put in the devblog is what we know.

Seems a bit early to be worrying about marketing, LQ is a grand codename =)

iamallama: Would it be possible to sticky these dev blog threads so that we see them in order, rather than sorted by newest post? At the moment they're listed as "Week 3 - 1 - 2", it's painful.

Think I will mosey over to the donate link, I wanna PAH-TICIPEHT.

:/ If i had a bank account I would donate.
Or a job.
This is a problem.
