Schilling's Green Monster Games

[schild]

I reply to you because with exception of the f bombs you're no different than anyone else on this board to me. You're a gamer, I'm a gamer, and when gaming topics come up, we converse.

Not sure where a need for "told you so" would come in, since I'm promising nothing but a cool, fun, kick ass game. If you mean to tell me that's not what it's going to be, I guess we'll find out. Likely to be sooner than 5 years from now though.

But you don't talk about games. You talk about your game and your competitors games. About the former, you say absolutely nothing of value. About the latter, it's just vague-ness and not much else.

But then, I suppose, if you want to think of me as just a gamer then I'll think of you as another indie MMOG dev.

I'm not sure you want that. Also, I don't understand what was confusing about the "told you so" line. I'm sure you could ask Blackguard (sorry to pull you in, pal!) or someone else to decipher that one for you.

Protip: Promises mean nothing in this industry. Nothing.

It's what you are right? It's what I am. Or are you someone that I should know?

I think the difference between you two is that One of you has shipped a fun game.

What game has he shipped?

[Bzalthek]

Verily, I doth concur!

[NiX]

Tried to find one without a watermark.

Perhaps if you read more of the site than this one thread you'd know. Specifically Game Design/Development

But thanks for playing!

Likely just not going to happen. I have about 45 spare seconds a day as is, so getting through even one topic on a BB I chat on is challenging sometimes. I get involved in threads about 38 for the most part, sometimes I'll comment on a game I'm playing but not often.

BTW Plants vs Zombies sucking my free time ALL up right now, that and Blood Bowl.

[Bzalthek]

Where's that guy who's supposed to hit you over the head to keep you from doing stupid shit?  I mean saying "it's too much effort to bother participating in a forum so usually it's just the one thread dedicated to my upcoming game, of which I can't say anything but still manage to act like a mcquaid" clearly falls under stupid shit.

In 2006 it was really cool seeing you post shit.  We're halfway through 2009.  The cocktease has gone stale.

[Lucas]

Verily, I doth concur!

Is there some space left on the couch?

Thanks.

[HaemishM]

Curt, just to put it in focus for my own edification and not because I think it will actually help...

You have become a shill for your game on this forum. While I don't have a problem with you shilling your game, it's the fact that that's ALL you do on this site that is really starting to annoy the piss out of me. Either join in the community fun and talk about other games or fuck off until you have something concrete to show us about your game.

This PSA brought to you by the letters F and O.

It comes with the territory.

As with many others here, I enjoy seeing a dev come in here and talk about what they are doing or have learned. However, coming in and playing the "we've got an awesome thing here, can't tell you but it will be awesome!" is annoying and means that if anything less than awesome is delivered, it will be torn apart.

I honestly hope Copernicus does everything promised - Praetorian Gnomes ruled over by a Napoleon Dwarf aside. But we've heard the promises before. 

[Venkman]

36 pages of you people bumping this thread over nothing substantive at all... you can't buy that sort of grassroots movement! 

[Soln]

You know, I'm a Writer.  I've never published anything.  But I hang around bookshops and go up to people and ask them if they're excited about my coming book.  I talk about my book, that I'm writing, maybe,  and all the other books I've read that are like my book.  But not as good.  Ya.

[gehrig38]

That's cool. I'll stop back by when we get to beta. Likely a smarter use of my 'free' time (whatever that is) anyway.

[Gutboy Barrelhouse]

BETA is just a continuation of you not being able to talk about your game in specifics, F13 is not a site that allows or tolerates BETA spoilers (assuming you have a NDA for the game up at that time.

He got the point. Don't be a dick.

[Stormwaltz]

I've idly wondered if the codename "Copernicus" implies it's a world like Spelljammer, which - fuck all the haters - is the only D&D house milieu I ever enjoyed.

And I'd like a space pony.

Proof that Spelljammer was a horrid, horrid thing

HA HA. You are correct, sir.

[Modern Angel]

This is truth: when I was 14 I got a letter published in Dragon magazine because I won a contest for the best reasons Giant Space Hamsters were cool. I got a mug which I subsequently lost and which I cry about to this day, 18 years later

I defy your selective memory with selective memory of my own.

I hope you're not suggesting bad things about Boo.  He'll eat your fucking eyeballs.

[Lantyssa]

I prefer Planescape, if the DM is up to the task.  I always loved planar stuff though.

I can't believe you Photoshopped the original. I've uploaded a scan of it to call you on your twisting of the historical facts!

[Ghambit]

Hilarious, I JUST (like 2 days ago) started researching a Spelljammer conversion for 4e. 
It's really a pretty awesome setting (moreso a system than a setting really), especially for anyone with any kind of penchant for sci-fi.  Gygax was actually more interested in Sci-Fi than Fantasy, but Fantasy paid most of the bills...  so stuff like Star Frontiers never got fully realized. (even though they kickass)

I seriously doubt Copernicus will be anything like SpellJammer though... there isnt a digital game out there that could touch it aside from maybe STO and that in itself is a longshot because the ships arent shareable anyways.  If I were to design it though, I'd use the Spelljammer system as a way to get groups to/fro player-generated settings - pretty much a game within a game.

Anyways, I'd prefer to give my players coop. control over a ship to get from one setting to another rather than just stepping on a portal.  Space pirates?  Wildspace battles and Phlogiston manuevers?  Yes please. 

[Pezzle]

Who is Curt Schilling and will we be able to breed Giant Space Hamsters in this proposed game?

[Fordel]

The Gnomish Praetorian Guard will ride said Giant Space Hamsters is my understanding.

[Ghambit]

What about Zombie Hamsters?

[Lantyssa]

Geezus dude, I was eating when I came upon that.

[Bzalthek]

Oh, hey, you found a pic of my wife.  I thought I deleted all those...

[Falwell]

Uh Oh

Aren't big shakeups supposed to happen AFTER a product launches?
