Cathat,
You must have a fortune invested in fur dye...

I'm sure someday someone will spot me at a townhall meeting.

In the summer all they'll have to do is spot the dev who's dressed kinda like a pirate, and if its winter - look for the guy who looks like an extra in a vampire movie.

Jerry Seinfield did that in the one episode of Seinfield. It didn't work for him, but he isn't an artist... or a cat person!

However, aside from the wife thing there could be ulterior motives for posting cute cat pictures and then claiming to resemble a hawt vampire/pirate.

Naw - its just that EA HQ can appear kinda like a madhouse sometimes.

Walks into the elevator wearing my black buckly boots, leather pants, open necked shirt, barbed wire necklace and tousled hair.

Stands between the guy in the Prada suit with the red Jerry Garcia tie, and the guy in cut off sweat pants and flip flops who smells llke old gym socks.

*Suspiciously eyes the fourth guy, the one in the bathrobe and slippers holding a coffee cup that says "kiss the cook".

My wife asked me to draw her a purple duck bunny, but I am not skilled as an artist. My solution... I issue a challenge to draw the fabled purple duck bunny! I assure you, my wife will be pleased (maybe). She will assuredly maybe bellow praise upon your creation!

Sorry to correct you on this - Franz Marc was part of the Der Blaue Reiter Group - And part of the German Expressionism but was influenced but never a part of Cubism or futurism.
-----------------------------
While he was well before in the midst of German Expressioniism - I still think he really had real influence on others who came after him, and probably would have had more had he lived longer to see other eras.

Of course then again maybe he woulda just become a hack or something who's best work was in his 20s- heh who can say.
Either I liked a lot of his work for obvious reasons

I had to put on my glasses to be sure i was reading what i thought i was reading... i reasoned that it was because of what i thought i was reading that no one rose *snicker* to the challenge... it's a damn good thing i put my glasses on because i was mistaken... now i reason that the challenge went unanswered because there is no reference to cats, kitties, pusses, mousers, felines, et al...

So... Ummm... Mr. CatHat... A discussion rages about the merits of allowing classic housing, specifically keeps and castles, one of two things:

ability to perform limited customization, like floor tiles, walls, windows in walls, that sort of thing

Or a fixed selection of floor plans that the developers deem appropriate. and on uo housing and castles board, i stumbled upon this keep design and some insightful ideas.

So would you have time to review and expound? Please?? Would mean a lot to hear from someone on the team. For myself, i like the keep plan as it was shown. The 1st floor layout was the cat's meow. And that oriental styled castle was just awesome. There are quite a few people who agree that adding new wall and floor tiles to custom housing is exciting and that it's time to revisit the classic designs with fresh ideas.

Here's the link to the stratics thread: Castles and Keep Ideas

Cathat are you or anyone else going to post on the questions about Oceania? If you aren't going to say anything just say something like "we can't answer that at this time."

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Certainly I like the ideas. I’ve got a whole list of new features I think we need to add to housing to improve its ease of use and increase its functionality. One of my tasks is to be proposing various new features and figuring out how they’d all work. The only catch is, there has to be a big enough bonus to any new proposed features, with a realistic feasibility of successful operation. New things must be weighed against other things, approved, and worked into a schedule with room for new features.

Right now - we’ve got all hands working on fixing up KR &amp; 2d stuff, and others working on SA. So you could say, things are pretty booked right at this moment we’re speaking.

Understand – there’s usually a lot of Artist &amp; Engineer time &amp; tricks to getting prototypes &amp; stuff to work in game. I’ll spare you the game engine techno babble associated with making game prototypes. Often it can sound like a tired Star Trek techie story loophole,

<font color="blue"> “Well, if we vent plasma, and convert our primary sensor dish to emit tachyon particles, we can refract our signal so that we can get Cathat’s new system to read properly with a minimum impact on server/client systems and manpower – bla bla bla.” </font> LOL


So obviously, I can’t say exactly when Housing’s time will come. Ya have to consider all the other things we’re already working on, all the other cool things we want to add, and all the other systems that are already in line to be worked on too. Housing is not forgotten, and since I’m actively planning out proposals for additions to champion, I’m actively reading everyone’s proposals online be they new or old ideas to integrate with my own.


That’s how it works on the seven seas of game development.

For now what you can do is tell us whom we have to "thank" for finding the "random ressource" switch and going "ooooohhh, shiiiinyyyy!!"

How brilliant is that??

You have my sympathies, friend, from one programmer (old and retired) to another. I understand project loading and everything else you stated. It's enough to have this acknowledgment from you.

Thank you.

Like any system as cool as housing, there's plenty of cool stuff that could be done. I'm sure you've heard a lot of the most popular housing requests such as personal stables, pet stores, etc.

While you're at it, you could add interesting idle animations for various creatures. Maybe hellcats could "dig squat and bury" at random times when not in combat. A cu could scratch behind his ears. I'm kinda joking.

I like hearing you say you're coming up with proposals for additions to champion. Champ spawns are one of the best game features ever implemented in UO. They are still fun after more than 5 years. If you're looking for ideas, I think it would be cool to have a champ spawn in shame that's all elementals. You could add new elemental types for 4th tier (scaled to be a 4th tier power monster). Greater earth, air, fire and water elementals.

I think CatHat was not talking about champ spawns. Rather, read his remarks this way: He will champion proposals for additions he's actively planning (to housing or other art).

I was wondering why an artist would be working on champ spawns aside from as the artist drawing the cool chamipion art.

Of course I couldn't resist talking about champ spawns. I love em.
