Are you guys using a graphical editor for the interface code?

That's some hard-core effort if you're not

Out of interest is it possible to find the server interface definitions anywhere? I can see the JSON requests but I haven't managed to find Alice in the rabbit hole yet!

I suppose I'm trying to get around how the project hangs together at a high level so I know where I can best spend my time.

Thanks

Totally agreed that a team is needed. For some reaosn, I was under the impression there was a team already. I guess there is not?

In any case, I wanted to help the dev and couldn't find any tickets or such.

First a team is needed, then tools can be made. No point in wasting time in tools no one will use.

I second this quesiton; I think it's important to have bug tracking/feature tracking tool if many devs are to work on this toghether.

It's also in your FAF installation.

I also add that by cult of personality I mean develop FAF so your top performers all have their own space, achievements, top matches and even photos (if they choose). Then go the full works and Kim Jong il them (make them feel worshipped).

Other ego ideas:
Noob player of the week
Average player of the week
Best team mate of the week

Hi ZEP

Here's my contribution on how to improve the game:

Maslows Hierarchy of Needs
All human beings have psychological needs they seek to fill in their daily lives. These needs are arranged into a pyramid with all people starting at the bottom level. If the needs in that level are met they progress up to the next level and so on. Eventually (and if all needs are met) they reach self-actualisation at the top of the pyramid. This is an advanced state of mind where people are highly motivated. Unfortunately game designers arent usually psychologicals so they dont plan their software around Maslows Hierarchy of Needs. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maslow's_h ... y_of_needs

Physiological Needs - These are short-term survival needs (food, water, etc). Nothing FAF can do about them.
Safety Needs - These are long-term survival needs (private health insurance, job security, etc). Northing FAF can do about them.
Love/Belonging - The chat room on FAF allows people to develop friendships online. Thats a good start. However there is no sense of belonging. There used to be on gpgnet with people signing up the clans. Its missing from FAF. Maybe tying it into Facebook too would help fill peoples social needs.
Esteem - This levels needs are self-esteem, ego, confidence, achievement, respect of others, respect from others. People with high ranks will have all these needs filled to a degree. However not the lower and normal ranks. For them they will be stuck at this level demotivating many of them and putting them off the game. When people are being educated there are different awards for their level of ability (GCSES up to degrees). It isnt just the brightest that get awarded a certifcate! For the top performers instead of just giving them an avatar you could develop a cult of personality around them sending their esteem into orbit. The aim should be win-win so all people (or as many as possible) get their esteem needs met.
Self-Actualisation - At this level people are highly motivated and go out to live up to their full potential. FA allows that as the game is kind of a sandbox environment. The modders that make game contributions are likely here too even if they didnt reach self-actualisation through the game but through some other aspect of their lives.

Only 5% of the population are in self-actualisation. Designing the game to guide more to it will mean they develop an emotional attachment to the game. It will increase the funds you guys receive for FAF as they wont want it to disappear.

Regards
Herbert
