The main problem with this community

That’s a good idea. There are plenty of talented programmers lurking round the forums; Having some easily accessible artists that we could coo into creating quality content would be fantastic. Shame there isn’t much(if any) money in Java Gaming but I doubt you here because of that(call it love).

It is unfortunate that nothing seems to ever comes from the community projects but (like said above) we seem to be suffering form “to many chiefs not enough Indians” syndrome. It’s apparently very difficult for us to conform to a single vision of how a game should be. We need of some cohesion and structure (without taking away what has made this forum so successful) so hopefully Java Gaming’s goals can be realized.

In saying all that, we seem to failing at more fundamental things but hopefully this thread has raised some awareness in what to do/not do.

It’s great to see so much constructive input in this thread.

Im sure if some people got something going. Then take corvinex’s advice, and got o a pixel artist forum. Then cas would be happy :/.

Pffft. It’s easy to fix this place up real quick.

Start a mandate that EVERY single post must contain java code.

Sorry Demonpants, but I see myself as more of a singleton.

All,

I have just approached two members of the community that have reached out and offered their assistance with JGO. I won’t say who, just yet, as I want to wait until they have confirmed their participation and we have had a chance to talk.

so they might be the new “runner of jgo”?

#149

That sounds like some sort of cooking ingredient or kitchen implement.

“Hey honey, can you pass me the runner of jgo? I need to get this jelly mixed with this gooey orange.”

But anyway I don’t think it would be a new person running JGO, just Chris wants to distribute his responsibilities amongst 3 people instead of just him, mainly so that JGO can become more of a quality community… at least that’s how I understand it from his previous posts in this topic.
