Proposed Agenda
Worldspace Implementation
- Progress on Andothren
- TV2-4 wilderness interior planning
- Mainland: Charger has plans for both minor edits (dialogue, Hjotr) and major redos (Telvanni Library, Firewatch-Helnim). Also, allow Slepana to write a Telvanni questline proposal, to be discussed at a later date (y/n)
- DOD: How to resolve the Andothren development bottleneck (maybe rotate the file around devs?), and make the feedback process more efficient
- Pre-DOD: The possibility of a 2020 preview release with Menaan and Obainat
Cross-Province questions
- Armor and weapons: sorting out stats, expanding or restricting vanilla sets, special cases (this agenda point could use some elaboration as to what specifically should be discussed and in what format we can best discuss it)
Quests and Dialogue
- 6+ has a few points to discuss regarding Foul Murder, and I think Why mentioned he wasn't fully satisfied with the current plans too.
- The "characters" of towns like Kartur
- General MG plans, particularly if someone with a good general idea of afterlife-, dreamsleeve- and soultrap-related lore is around
Assets
- Literature: The backlog is 4 years long, and there are people willing to do editing work, which needs to be allocated
- Hlaalu assets: Find volunteers for the circular int pieces, so Hlan Oek and Othmura can be finished
Administration
- The Handbook needs attention.
- We need a new/updated visual index.
- Discussing Thal's idea in detail, and finding volunteers for handbook writing: https://www.tamrielrebuilt.org/forum/division-labor-regards-lore-world-building-and-quality-managment
- Meeting times: West Coast and AUS/NZ developers would have to attend at crazy hours, leading to them having a hard time influencing the decisionmaking process.
- Either find a purpose for #faction-planning , or archive it
Preparing Template Meetings
- Do we want to do OW or CM first? Meeting date needs to be scheduled. For OW, potential meeting start at 6 AM Amsterdam time, so AUS/NZ/CA can make it, with a showrunner from either of those countries
- Clambering Moor
- How should the Kartur section be expanded?
- Do we want to make an exterior claim for the inner sea bordering the big CM island, akin to the Idaverrano seabed edits?
- Cicero suggested on discord that the island could be split up into multiple smaller ones. The interiors would need attention if this is done.
- Othreleth Woods
Meeting Summary
Andothren
Progress is being had, just less than expected.
The waterfront meshes and their use was discussed. There is a disagreement in opinion about whether they should only be used as (Narsis) waterfront or for this manor too, due to stylistic differences.
An alternate manor with a series of balconies was suggested and will be tried out.
A list of assets that really need finalizing so that Andothren can finally be done:
- Strider Port (https://www.tamriel-rebuilt.org/asset/andothren-assets)
- Balconies & Velothi bridge corner (https://www.tamriel-rebuilt.org/asset/ando-pieces-gnomey-wanted-me-make)
- Steps with balconies (not currently in asset browser)
Phenoix is willing to do the final touches on Andothren once Gnomey is done with the layout. Manors would be merged once further improvements have been done by Phenoix.
Western Inner Sea Exterior Claim
Has already happened as per https://www.tamriel-rebuilt.org/claims/western-sea-floor
Meeting Times
As an alternative for the highly-divergent-from-UTC timezones, we are trying out a meeting at 03:00 UTC next week. If this works out well, it should be used as the other weekly meeting (switching with the current 18:00 UTC one every other week).
Even if it does not work, other meeting times can be discussed.
Mainland Redos
Charger is currently working on a Firewatch/Helnim redo, shuffling content to Firewatch from Helnim.
The EEC would move to Firewatch while the IAS mostly remains in Helnim, due to the short distance to Kemel-Ze and the major excavation effort. A branch office in Firewatch is an option.
Moving the slum part of Helnim somewhere else (north-east along the coast was Dillon’s suggestion from a while ago).
Hjotr will be replaced with a proper house, a hut, really anything but the current rock house. The Witches Hut (currently in the data addon) seems to be a favorite of the suggestions.
Slepana has proposed to do a writeup of a Telvanni questline. This has been agreed to and should be directed to the Telvanni brainstorming thread.
2020 release
While various pros and cons of a smaller 2020 release were weighed, in general the proposed release area is not release ready in its current state. When it is ready, we can reassess the idea of releasing the work along with TR_Mainland edits, probably as part of a bug-fix update coinciding with the Project Tamriel Dragonstar release. In the meanwhile, people working on claims inside the proposed release area should prioritize them.
