VC's Laboratory 100119: Discontent
« on: January 06, 2010, 12:25:41 am »

Zippity doo dah.

I want to talk about all the fun we had testing out and tweaking Living Daylights, but aside from two short fewer-than-six-man pickup tests, nothing has been going on.  I am, to an extent even my expansive functional vocabulary cannot express succinctly, disappointed and outraged that after a week of prep time, absolutely nothing has been organized by anyone outside of myelf and KM.  Mapping department has at least gotten in touch a few times during the last week and made some effort, but testing has been non-existant in an environment where every night or two should be a playtest just on the account that we have a well-matured mod to play just for fun.  Remember that?  The ultimate goal of Goldeneye Source?

On two nights I have tried to rouse Wake, the supposed BT leader, on Steam while he's trapped in ten-years-ago plinking in Counterstrike Source to receive no response.

I mentioned this issue to KM, that we should have play testing every night or two on a formulated basis, and anyone who is neither contributing or trying can just get the hell off of the wagon.  When I see seven people online, most wearing their [GE:S] tags in their Steam handle and I req a playtest and all I get is five-man max for five minutes, I become liable to transform into something dynamic.

This all sounds a little passive aggressive, but don't worry, I usually don't stay passive for long.

I have been willing to test for a long time now but I have yet to run into anybody who is available when I am on. Jc and I talked last night but I wasnt around when he messaged me and then when I offered to play later the wiki was being worked on and nobody else was on. I will see if I can get anybody tomorrow

I have already stated my reasons for not being able to test for the time being. When things are fixed I will test for sure.

I organized a small four man beta test last Monday and it was awesome.

We had people and they had guns and we found blugs.

This specific blog fails.

Why dont I make a "blog" everytime everything doesnt go right for me based on a part time online team dynamic.

I'd make one per week...

IMO this is a fun team environment and teams don't, especially specificially, attack each others roles in public areas. This is the uncoolest action of VC ive witnessed. I'd love to be able to retort his discontent with my opinion but it would conflict with my above statement :P

Too true. Seems extremely unprofessional to bitch about the other developers to the public. We don't want to hear that. Plus, if anything, that makes me sympathize with the rest of the team, for having to put up with that kind of childish behavior.

It's up to each individual but from my perspective listening to VC about the state of the test division while hes pissed off wouldn't be your most trusted avenue for intel.

Just today we had 80% of our testers and a couple devs in a single event for over an hour on a saturday morning
