Need help convincing a design guy to tune down the scope of his project (grudge match subthread)

  • Two Factor Authentication is now available on BeyondUnreal Forums. To configure it, visit your Profile and look for the "Two Step Verification" option on the left side. We can send codes via email (may be slower) or you can set up any TOTP Authenticator app on your phone (Authy, Google Authenticator, etc) to deliver codes. It is highly recommended that you configure this to keep your account safe.

On a personal note... if your lead designer's only area of expertise is being able to make good maps, I'm not sure why he/she is doing the "lead design" job of this mod. Having loads of ideas is a poor qualification for a lead designer if it is not backed up by a good feeling for how to go about implementing those ideas. Tell your lead designer that you, as the coder on the team, wish to work on the mod's design together with him/her on equal footing. (And always expect to change part of the specifications once you learn how to technically approach a certain part of them.)
How about DavidM? He is only a mapper and still a lead designer for DB?
Did he do a poor job (except that he ruined deathball in 1.7)?

I've expressed my concerns to my teammate. He agreed with me, and accepted to include me in the design process. And we're still friends. Yay.

Your posts were of significant help, thanks a lot.
Glad it helped. ;)

Lead designer? Buhahah, I know n00bs that can't do anything claiming that they are lead designers. You are only a mapper. When you know how to do everything (code, map, model, skin, animate) like I DO, then you'll be able to call yourself a designer.
You goalhanging n00b!!! :lol: :p

ehm, you are talking out of your ass :/

"(code, map, model, skin, animate)" <- these things have nothing to do with a lead designer work
