TaoFramework + Bullshit = Ok night
So there i was working on figuring out the taoframework when Zee IMs me telling me we have a complication.
It appears an old associate of his “suddenly” gained interest in doing the shooter project with us, and hes a C# programmer.
Fantastic right?
I wish…
My reasons for doing this project are both personal and professional.
- A shooter is a basic idea, a 2.5D shooter is the perfect stepping stone thatll kick my ass into C# game programming
- I made a promise to myself id make my old flash game, Rain of Destruction, into a real game. While this isn’t RoD, itll fullfill my promise just fine.
- Itll spearhead my engine development for Tournament of the Claw
- I help Zee with this, he helps me with 3D modeling for ToC
Tones of benefits from this project.
How detrimental could it be to have another programmer on board who actually knows the language im still trying to grasp? The project may get done “faster” but how much of it would i actually contribute? What happens when im shoved aside and the associate jsut kinda “takes over” simply because he can? What happens when we have a design disagreement and i get shove dto the left because he knows how to execute it himself?
Im not going to continue.
The simple fact of the matter is, Zee didn’t want to/couldn’t say no to his friends request. His associate (nameless till its all cool) to him, is like Josh to me. Worked on many projects in the past, but nothing truely got done.
Im an Animator trying to do some hardcore coding rather than tool development for a dying company.
*sigh* Theres only one good outcome… at the end of a long path of shitty outcomes with this one, i hope Zee knows what hes doing…
yay Day 2 and already Drama!
On another note, the TaoFramework kicks ass so fr. I ahvent done much of anything with it, but by looking at the dlcumentation, it looks pretty damn easy to grasp, and the Tao even comes with stuff like SDL, OpenAL, LUA, ODE, the whole shebang.
So im stoked to learn me a little Tao.
That being said, im outty, peace!
(to the associate if you read this, i mean no offense by this at all dude, ive just seen this very scenario play out a hundred times, ive got a bad feeling about it, but i do hope it works out, id like nothing more)
