2019... i think what you mean to say is that you think that i underestimate most people when i say that they are not as driven as i am... (i understand there is a language difference here
)...
... my conclusion is based on experience... i've found, that while being open sounds good... a lot of the time it results in unnecessary complications, experience has shown that being extremely selective about whom you associate with is the key to avoiding a lot of these unnecessary complications...
most people think they want to make games... just like a lot of things... i met a guy who was sure he wanted to be a pilot... he kept bugging me, so i took him up... the reality of being in a light plane was entirely different from what his imagination had led him to believe... and this invloved no effort or work on that persons part...
do you have any idea how many letters i get from people ready, willing, and able to work with me on this... or people who want me to work with them on a project... i'm talking about salaried as well as indie stuff...
could you imagine what things would be like for me if i accepted offers from even half of em...
i'm sorry bud... but i'm really kinda picky who i associate with... to be honest, if i see you as someone i would go into combat with, then i'd see you as someone i could work with as a partner... otherwise...
i remember your letter (i think)... and, i've seen your stuff... it looks really good...
have you tried putting a few of your sub models into a game engine, adding a lil ocean scenery, and seeing how well it works... i mean, i know you are centered on the artisitic part of this, so i'm just asking on the assumption that you might've dabbled in some coding...
i'm sure you realize that making a first class model, and texturing it so that it can stand next to other good looking works, is just a small part of what it takes to make a 3d game... much less a game that attempts to simulate a real world set of circumstances...
ask some of the other guys who are attempting such projects...
the 3 months you waited for me to reply were, i hope, not wasted just waiting for me to reply... and i can only apologize for not responding sooner... but hey, i'm doing the best i can... unless i have some letter of introduction, or have dealt with you prior, or know you from this forum, then an obscure letter may very well get put on the todo pile...
one more important thing you've gotta understand... i do this primarily for me... it is my obsession that drives me... i'm on my own schedule, no one elses... and i have my own agenda to satisfy...
now that may not be what you would like to hear... but that's the reality of the situation... i appreciate your critique and comments, and take from them as much as you generously offer... but advice on what i'm doing, or how i should do it, i must reserve that for people whose judgement i know i can depend on...
i hope you understand...
TLAM... good luck on your project... lemme know when you are ready to preview it
