Publicity and OpenMW

Not · Post by **Not** » Fri Dec 11, 2015 10:46 pm

I figured I'd post this here since I really don't want this going public until a decision has been made.

I've been talking to our friends over at OpenMW a lot lately and one of the things that came up is the current state of TR. They've always liked us and I do believe that the two projects share a mutual respect for one another, having similar goals working on an almost 13 year old game (at least in my day we did, I'm hoping that hasn't changed.)

Anyway, they offered to use TR content in their new release videos that they do every so often to help send some potential new developers our way. It's just a suggestion, I don't see why we shouldn't allow them to use TR content in their vids, I can't see any negative impacts this will have, but at the same time I'm no longer a lead developer, so this isn't up to me. So I don't know....vote or something.

I'm all for it. As far as I've seen, pretty much everyone here is supportive of working with OpenMW, we just haven't acted on it, which isn't a rare occurrence by any means. Our ongoing issues with community management and keeping to our little island of the internet is probably a large part of the problem. This seems like a good start.

Actually, I think it's worth mentioning that they're the ones that gave me the idea for the change I'm going to present at tomorrow's Skype meeting. They're even helping me work on the demo and everything!

As far as working with them goes, I'm on very good terms with them over there and I'm pretty much our PR person when it comes to them anyway (in an unofficial capacity of course.) They're nice people and they seem to feel the same way we do about our project.

Excellent. I should add that, as I wrote on IRC, as far as I'm concerned this thread can be made public/can be restarted in Project Organization.

I like the idea of cross publicity, especially as it doesn't require me to add anything to my own to-do list. Go forth!

I approve. OpenMW is a cool project.

It's always good to have more publicity. So I absolutely support this!

Everyone should probably have a look at this thread, specifically, the very bottom post. What do you all think? I think it'd be mutually beneficial to both projects if we went along with it!

So yeah...vote or something lol

p.s. incidentally, the person that made this post for us has tried registering on our own forums and hasn't gotten the confirmation email, he's been waiting over 24 hours for it now. psi29a is the username on these forums. Is there any way an Admin could approve him so he can start posting here? I'd ask in IRC but no one is on and I need to sleep. Thanks to whoever can take care of this.

Notling Edit: I decided to move this out of Admin because as Gnomey already stated; there's really no need for this thread to be kept private.

psi29a appears to be a member. If he/she is still having issues, we'll need to look into it further (PM Anonytroll).

Thanks for letting me in.
