A86: Re: Plan Files
Sounds cool, as with anything else, if you feel like writing it for fun, go
for it. But most people who program have a site. Since we only program a
few hours a day as a hobby, we don't have tons of stuff to report everyday.
If we want to inform people, it goes on the website (as Macross does). Many
of the good programmers feel as I do, that discussing current projects is
bad. We like to call that Vaporware, meaning it doesn't exist. And if it
doesn't exist, it's not good to talk about it.
I have been working on a game now for about four months, and haven't posted
a word about it on a website. Nothing will be posted until the game is
fully beta tested and ready for download. Why? Because if I give up (due
to lack of time or other reasons), or I change stuff, etc., then no one gets
upset. I don't get tons of emails about finishing it or asking when it's
done (ask the CCIA about that :)
Just my $0.02.
