Elemental Twitter Updates Week 2+3

how often to you plan to update this

good job though

 

next we need to have you updating with boogiebac's IRC comments

I'm beginnig to wonder if these "leaks" are officially condoned by Stardock... I know that they don't really mind (they obviously read the posts, so if they cared about it, he would no longer be doing it), but I'm not sure if it's just a BoogieBac  thingy or if somebody is saying "go on the forums and leak blahblahbalh".

I am sure BoogieBac is doing what they want.

What I meant was whether this was Boogie's idea with the rest of the team's approval, or if he was just the chosen front-man.

He's the project manager (or whatever it's called), so I'm sure he has his approval Frogboy still seems to have the higher authority even in respect to Elemental, but somehow I doubt he'd mind these fairly harmless twitter updates considering how much information he's been known to leak

True, true. Brad'll do anything to plug his AI.

Feel the power of marketing. Or whatever.

Anyways, who killed the bird? I blame this week's build. And some juicy posts in another thread with pics included.

  Haha You really think we're that coordinated?! ;)  No, my posts are all a matter of looking over our work and picking out things that wont piss off marketing :)  Like right now screenshots have to go through them since we have several 'exclusive' magazine peices going out soon...so instead you get icon sheets and original peices of concept art.

Well, I'd say it's official since Stardock has several other twitter accounts for things like Impulse and Frogboy himself has a twitter account as well as Zoomba.  They are using Twitter to get the word out.  Like yesterday they had a poll on Twitter for what new game coming out you want Impulse to carry.  Just search hash tag #impulsepoll

For a few weeks they were doing Monday giveaways on Twitter where they were giving away free games or wincustomize apps to followers on Twitter.

Just get a Twitter account and follow Stardock stuff and be done with it.  Don't need to follow anyone else. 

New update. It's a little delayed, so I apologize, but like I said in the other post, I'm out of town on vacation.

Well ideally I woud want to update it less than an hour after BoogieBac posts, but that is unrealistic. Once I'm back from vacation (Sunday) I plan to update at least once a day (assuming there are any updates).

I don't think I'll be doing IRC any time soon   As much as I would like too, I can't spend 24 hours everyday on IRC.

updated

Just so you know, I am back from vacation, so I can dedicate more time to this(usually).

If you're wondering why there is no "Twiter Updates Week 3" post yet, it's because there are no updates to post...

I have been missing it! Can't wait for the next journal.

I just put up the first (and so far only) update from week 3. Because week 2 didn't have a lot of updates, and it doesn't look like week 3 will either, I'm just going to combine them in the same thread.

New update.

a-ma-zing

Wow... Great movie in that last update... I wish I could draw like that...

So do I. I know people @ school with that sort of skill, but they all work on paper, and I know from practice that doing that sort of thing with a mouse, or even worse a laptop touch-pad, is waaaay harder.. Well, it is his job, after all............

I would be surprised if the art team at Stardock doesn't use graphics tablets... But then you never know. I do actually know some people who can do incredible things with things like artpad using nothing but a mouse.

Updated again. There's another one of those awesome time-lapse videos

Indeed, another great movie... Would it be possible to get some explanation about the different drawings? (The red, the blue and the black) Why it is made in three phases?

Anyway, feel free to post more of this...

I would love to start beta testing the map editor...  

This no_face unit should be made into one of the special and rare old beasts which may appear on the game...  thus giving respect to the first screenshot.
