The DRC and yeesha have all told us over and over to 'make a home' and to 'work together', the guilds have taken off with hardly any guidance and Cyan seems to want us to figure it out for ourselves. Now the big gap in content has now started, and Cyan and the DRC have left us to develop on our own.
So what needs to be done now?
And what needs to be planned for the future?
This is a big task for all the guilds to start from scratch, but probably a lot more daunting for the GoW due to its role in Uru and the fact other guilds are based around it (Guild of maintainers).
These are a few of the things that i think should be taken into consideration. You may disagree and discussion is encouraged.
What needs to be done now?
* We need to be 100% sure how ages can be made.
How can we make ages? There are no official tools released by Cyan, and there are defiantly no user-friendly tools either
From my knowledge, we have to use tools such as blender to create our worlds. But have we been told this is the way to do it? Are we even certain that all out hard work can be implemented into uru at some point? Is someone working on any tools and do we know about it?* The main page of this site
Although inspiring, i think a more up to date description should be put onto there. What is written atm are what we would hope things would be like, not how they are. New explorers who want to become part of the GoW need to be told how to get involved and what they can do to participate. Not false information about tools that we wish existed.
* Leadership sorted out
There seems to be more thought going into who is going to lead the guild than developing the guild atm. My own personal opinion is that whoever runs this website and forum should be the leader. If that is not what they want, then he/she should have the responsibility to appoint whoever they choose to run things, that, or do a nominations and vote poll.
But since the owner put the effort into making this site, they should be the leader of it also. Then as explorers get more involved, the dedicated ones will become more obvious, and moderators of the forums can be chosen.
We need moderators to help and guide the other members.
We need a owner to update and work on the website.
What needs to be done for the future?
Assuming that we will be making things with blender
*Tutorials and expansion on the GoW site
Most explorers that want to become GoW members wont have much knowlage in Blender or other 3D programming devices. But they wouldnt need to if they could be given a step by step guide to make the basic elements of a age. How to make rain, how to make water. how to make a landscape. There must be many out there already. But if they could be copied, changed, made into plain english, refere to Uru and then posted on the GoW website. Anyone would be able to make a age!
* Resources
The GoW website should be there to help people and act as a community. One way to help people would be to have readily made resources uploaded by others, ready to be used by their fellow guilds men. A database full of people creations ranging from lamps to plants to a pre-made linkbook. Not everyone wants to build whole ages, and not everyone wants to make a age from scratch. Things like this would make the whole experience of making a age more enjoyable.
(heres a link to a website that do just that. It has nothign to do with Uru and is a fan made adaptation of the nes zelda. But notice the resources available on the left.... http://www.purezc.com/index.php)
* Lastly...
Figure a way to make these ages reality. This will probably be decided by Cyan and not us. This is the main hold back of the GoW. If we already knew how this is all going to work, we would of been a lot more organized and know how to do things
The ages (when made into a .age) could be uploaded to cyan, uploaded to a database on a website after tested and approved by the GoM where others will have to d/l them and then played in Uru. But we will not know how this will all work until it has been said by Cyan...
That is all i can think of for now. I made this post to hopefully point out what path i think the guild should think going down. I hope the GoW becomes great and inspiring like the days of D'ni and our ages are just as impressive as the ones we have seen and read about
I was just thinking and thought id make a post about it here, and then typed it as it came to me.
