The Offiicial Interlopers Studio Suggestion

[EagleStrike]

Ok, my idea is simple. I'm thinking of starting a new studio, but I want only the highest, best quality mappers in the bussiness, and where better to find them then right here! This community thrives on the fact it is filled with mappers who truly know their stuff, so I was thinking it's about time this place really becomes a proper studio...

You may ask yourself, what could we gain from naming ourself a studio? Consider this. The website is currently filled with talent, and for the most part, this talen is friendly, helpful and there to assist each other in projects. So, what is there exactly we could gain?

I believe that if we started a studio, we could pick out those in the community more dedicated to helping each other out, and finding out who needs help. This could decrease the time it takes to build excellent maps, finding help, and getting assistance. We could work on projects together, which would be an excellent addition.

Many people will see our community as already united. Well, so do I, but I believe if we do actually start a studio, we can surely boost our pitch.

All opinions welcome!

JUST TO CLARIFY THE IDEA, I MEAN TO START ONE LIKE THE ONES ON FPSB.

I don't 100% understand the idea behind a 'studio'.

This part:

Plenty of really helpful members put themselves out to help others already, so aren't we kind of doing what you've suggested there?

go reword the first paragraph because I got the impression of an exclusive collective more then a warm friendly helping group. but I dont think anyone deserves to title their studio something official from creative content they didn't create themselves. meaning you'd probably better get an ok from Blink or whomever owns the name, which would probably be blink

I like the idea of having a big group of helpers but thats pretty much what this site is anyways

you could just make it yourself and then just ask specific people from the forum, I just don't think it deserves the title official interlopers studio.

I really don't see any need. Members have teamed up as suits their needs, everyone is friendly and quick to give advice, etc., etc. as things already are. Forming a studio would either be redundant or exclusionary-and thus a contradiction of what interlopers has set out to do.

A nice thought, I suppose, but it doesn't really pan out.

At first I thought you were talking about a development studio, i.e. a company

im tired

[Ripper_hugme]

Does he mean a studio like on FPSbanana.

[vecima]

if you meant company, just join mine instead!

it is slightly exclusionary, but that's because we're shooting for releasing a commercial game in probably a couple years.

what you need as a studio is a goal to wich your can work to.
If its just a group who help others witch eachothers maps than i think its rather useless, because for that we have interlopers

[Doomtrain]

I think he means A studio like dimension studios and turtle rock studios ?

Having a level designer, texturer, modeler and stuff, like a Level designer "team".

[Psy]

Well I think he means that. >_>

[EagleStrike]

Does he mean a studio like on FPSbanana.

Yeh! Thats the kind of thing I'm talking about. You say exclusion, but thats not what I am trying to do, although I do accept this will happen. Anyone approve of the idea then, and yes, ofcourse we will need Blink's permission! Hell, Blink can even run it! I was only making the suggestion!

This reminds me of the 'lopers map.

Most of you can remember what happened to that.

[Penney]

no I saw some work done on it and some messages on IRC and then nothing! What happened uncle Psycho!?

[EagleStrike]

No, I haven't a clue what you're talking about pshyco...

[Psy]

Apparently I was on the team. :X

As you can judge from the posts, everyone was slightly confused by the rules and felt that they needed to be more elaborate.
