I checked it out, it isn't that much better (not more than a few frames in most CE2 benchmarks,) and like I said, saving as much as possible (they are between $50 and $100 more than the 5770.) Also, more PCs and system requirements, though I think I already have an idea of how well mine will do.

Are you a wizard? :laugh: Going to go check some of the 260's benchmarks. I really want DX11, but it seems like I can get a lot more for my money without it. I know I'll have to buy again in the future when it is really used if I do that, but it's painful to spend this much on the "wrong" thing.

It's going to be a few years more before that's really useful, but nice system nonetheless. If that does well though, the one I'm thinking of getting should. Using air cooling here, not liquid cooling, by the way.

Hey all, still waiting for some cash to come in (don't worry, I'll save some for EU, I am eager to play again, and as a bonus parting gift from my old account from MA I get a free trip to the newbie zone!) and am going to build a new PC when it does. Looking at the official system requirements...

A Virtual Piano kind of thing might be interesting. I'm sure they could write a synth for other instruments like guitars. It'll never happen, though.

It would VASTLY improve the quality of the game overall if you were to increase the markup on eye oil, IM(out-of-touch)O. I'm sure many low-mid level hunters would rejoice.

Yeah, as long as new players get to choose which planet they start on, I'm fine with it. And I'm part of a project developing a planet :D It keeps new players where they are and helps a planet to develop with the playerbase on it, as people that start on a planet and stay there until they can...

It wasn't meant to be a direct statement to you, sorry, was more of a joke. I'll put a smily after it if you want :silly2: I've been getting quite a few criticisms already while attempting to recruit, and I think I've been handling them decently. Everything is a bit crazy right now, when we...

I didn't forget that we didn't control loot, I actually mentioned that! I believe we do control prices in the TT, but I will check on that with MA before we release any official plans.

I think you overestimate MA's capabilities to attract new players. If you saw their last financial report, you know that they're not in a real position to go on a huge marketing campaign. They started with a long-term goal of developing the EU platform to be ahead of it's time in MMO terms (and...

Yeah, I know, it's a strange and somewhat annoying strategy for them to be using, but all in all, I see how it could work. I mean, they will essentially control a network of MMOs, get half the funds, and do nothing ;) Genius, if you ask me :silly2: It is effective for the Partners too; if MA was...

Actually, Sky, I am fully aware of what MA is looking for, they want us to find our own playerbase and advertise for ourselves. And I plan on doing just that. I'll post more on that note when I get some more input from the rest of the team.

We're currently discussing the target audience and profit model in the forum, which I have now made viewable only to members, save for one board, which we will use to keep the public updated for now. This is to help increase security, if only a bit.

Sorry if I haven't been too clear on my plans, this thread picked up more steam than I had predicted it would ;) I didn't really want to be the person paying for the project, I had just set up the forum because interest was expressed in another thread by some users, and now everyone seems to be...

Awesome, I'd love to see some nice levels and buildings in the game, maybe like old beacon missions but a bit more varied :D We may need to make separate accounts. I don't think MA lets us edit the looting system at all, so we will probably still be allowed to play, just not on our "working"...

Yeah, it's definitely going to take a long time. But I'm not sure about the whole freeware thing. Blender, for example, is a great 3D program, but I don't know if it can really output models in a format that CE2 can read. I know for a fact you have to use a user-made script to import it. I guess...

The story simply being there gives us a bit of a foundation so we can prove to investors that we are actually actively working on this project and that they can expect to see some return. Concept art will also help out with that. Lots of people want money, we have to prove we're worth it. ----...

I understand that we need a plan, and I'm doing the best I can. And having a story will help that plan along. What is a plan but a miserable pile of strategies without a foundation? (Kudos to you if you get that one.) You seem to be telling me not to try and develop the game so we can develop...

This is serious indeed. But we need something to show to get investors. We understand that it isn't easy, and I said in another thread that the creativity isn't the hardest part. We are currently trying to get some ideas for the theme, I've spent the past couple hours typing up a possible...

Well, if you know anyone willing to invest half a million into a team that has nothing to show yet, let me know. I think that anyone with a large amount of money is going to want to be shown at least a bit of what they'll be getting first. I know that we'll be contacting potential investors...

Who's in charge? Don't know yet. I'm admin of the site, but I don't think we really need a "leader." Guidance, sure, and we'll have some people assigning tasks. But I think, due to the nature of the project, it will work a lot better if we try and stay away from having one person make every...

Great, talented musicians can really do wonders for a game's atmosphere. We'd love to have you helping out.

Nope! We just got started a few days ago, and we're still in the recruitment phase. We'd like to have some of our members involved before we start working on a story, so we can get a strong foundation among our team members. I'm no financial expert for sure, but since I believe there will be...

I had thought of Ozi as our leader, it all kind of fell apart when he left, in my opinion. I agree, the financial and creative aspects caused some discouragement, and there was a lot of debate about the prospect of making our own game instead. I do not intend for that debate to even take place...

Hey, EF! We're trying to start up a Partner Planet development project over at eppd.motionforum.net, and we'd really appreciate it if some people from this board would come and help us develop it! Please note: not all boards are visible to unregistered guests. Right now, we are very short on...
