Question about Recruitment

Okay, seeing how the last recruitment post I made attracted such a dismal number of takers, I wanted to ask the community two questions.

1. If I came back in a little while and posted a topic along the lines of 'Total Conversion completed, beta-tested, and programmed; all that's missing are original planet and landing graphics, which we're using placeholders for, would anyone like to help?', would I get a better response?

2. Failing that, how would the community respond to hand-drawn landing graphics?

Thanks, and just a friendly reminder: please download and play Sephil Saga when it comes out, because it has such a veritable pool of talent (a positive rarity for a development team).

Aren't hand drawn ones the best as they are more true works of art? Of course I have not seen them but I usually prefer a hand drawn look to things. Even if they are poorly done they should still be better than emptyness. JMHO

1: Yes, You would definately get a better response if you said that. If people know for sure it won't go vapourware, then it'll get a better response.

2: I would love to see some hand drawn landing graphics, but only if they fit in with the style of the rest of the plug-in.

And about Sephil Saga, I'm definately going to download it when it comes out, it looks brilliant so far.

On a side note, If your not looking for superbly original and brilliant landing graphics, then try Terragen, with a little bit of practise you can get some quite nice looking landing shots, and they don't take long to create.

Yep. I've been playing around with Terragen, and the shots are pretty cool. The only problem is that it's a bitch to get it to have landscape and water, if that's even possible. Of course, this doesn't cover cities and the like, but who cares? 😄

I don't know how many graphic folk even read the dev corner, maybe you should make an excuse to post on the image gallery...

And I know I'll be downloading SS if/when it comes out. Definantly. 🙂

So..you're saying that I'd get a better response if I posted something in the Image Gallery, because most of the people from there don't come here? I was assuming that the people from the Gallery also frequented the DevCorner, it appears I was wrong.

Heh, you learn something new every day. And in case anyone wants to know, the main string (the actual storyline string) is 1/3 done now (60 pages of typed text). The inhabited planet descriptions are complete, and I even found the hand-drawn starmap that I thought I lost! Now, to head over to the Gallery...
