Assignment 9: Projects

~Assignment 9: Projects~

Projects have and will always be a part of the staff room. SFRP has been in a constant state of development since...well...forever, and big systems will continue to come and go. Because of this, you have to make sure that a bigger project doesn't get put on hold indefinitely and thus is never finished. There are a few things that I've done over the years to keep topics rolling which I think are pretty universal.

Project Tips
 
1. Keep progressing. It's one thing to bump a thread, but it's something else entirely to progress it. You can actually do quite a bit by yourself, and it tends to help people if they have something physical to critique instead of bouncing around ideas. More heads are always better than one, but not all of them are always awake. You should wait a reasonable amount of time before you keep progressing a thread, but don't ignore or forget about it. Sometimes you just have to make the entire system by yourself, final draft and all, and just keep at it if what you wrote up gets put through the ringer. No matter what though, you should always make sure the majority of the active staff are on board with your system.

2. PM staff members. It's amazing how much of a response you can get by talking one-on-one with another staff member about a project as opposed to asking publicly in a thread. Try talking to staff privately and bounce ideas off of them. It'll help you out when you try to write out a draft of the system by yourself.

3. Take it one step at a time. It's always a good idea to get a general idea of what a system should do, but don't get caught up in working out all the specifics at once. Flesh out each part one at time, building on the agreed upon idea until it's fully developed. The sooner you can get something concrete written, the faster the system will start to form.

4. Stay focused. It can be really easy to get caught up in other staff assignments and other RP threads, so try to pace yourself and focus on one thing at a time. This might mean being in only 1 thread in the RP and 1 thread in the staff room, but limiting your activity in different threads will help you be able to work on a system quickly and as stress free as possible.


Assignment: Implement 1 big system into SFRP. This doesn't have to be something that is actually used at SFRP, but you should practice going through the process to get the hang of it. Focus on just 1 project and do your best to get it done as quickly and as well as you can. Because this doesn't happen overnight, you have 1 month to finish this assignment.

Hint: Transformations would be the best choice for this. There are 3 major types of transformations, so you can split the transformations up between the 3 of you.

If noise is your baby you'd want to make it healthy and fix the shit that's wrong with it. Noise in the most imbalanced transformation, apparently because of you since you insist on that, and the biggest chore staring me in the face. Pay the medical bill or put it up for adoption, two choices.

On that note, 2-4 of the transformations will likely by my input for this. Sf and TO for sure, Rogue is simple enough if no one else does it. Noise Forms are Noise forms.

I was referring to the noise system without the transformations involved.

You might want to refresh your memory. You spent the majority of your time working on the forms, and you also compiled everything staff had discussed. Technically the current state of the forms is moreso your baby than the overall system.

I'll just repeat myself again.

No system be mine. Much more detailed and thorough, with more safeguards and other items added in.

The idea behind this assignment is to lead the creation of a system. It's more than just submitting ideas: it's about taking charge and seeing that something gets done from start to end. Area Descriptions would have counted for you if we would have let you lead the charge in development, but since you just submitted the idea (which really isn't what this assignment is about) then it doesn't count.

The project that you choose doesn't have to be original. It can be something that's been here that's died out and that needs to be revamped.
For instance, Tribe Ons and Rogue Form would be available projects. Both haven't been touched by us in staff and both need to be worked on.

I figured idea submitting =\= pass just was hoping for an easy gold star. <.<

I would look at rouge form considering Rik will make use of it eventually. But I never used it in the games so idk how effective I would be at doing so. But I will give it a shot.

Doesn't it asked for a big system? Card Trader sounds minor, and I'm not sure if we'd do that. Worth a discussion yeah, though depending on how you go about it it might be similar to something we rejected before.

Eh if you did it in a manner similar to the dice roll function with code and stuff(and good lord would it be big) it could be considered a big assignment.

Card trader would be valid. It involves developing a system, doing the grunt work, and getting people's opinions gathered up into something that everyone is happy with.
