Well, I don't see any reason I should say any less about my work here than I would in any public forum. If you thought I might say *more* here than I would in a public forum, well, thanks for the warning, but I wasn't about to anyway. I just got here and I don't even know you guys! I should clarify that I am doing games "for" TimeSink, and TimeSink has a contract or two with Mpath to run them on their service. TimeSink is an entirely independent company, not owned by Mpath or anything like that. There are of course non-disclosure agreements and such between the two companies which I can't violate. I must say in general, game companies keeping so many secrets is a minor annoyance to me - I'm positive that 98% of the stuff they insist on keeping secret has no need to be kept secret, and would do them no financial damage were it to be leaked to the whole world. I guess people in management need their little hobbies to keep them occupied. Anyway the stuff I'm most interested in talking about are design issues as opposed to the "precious" technology ideas that most people that build games are so obsessed with, especially programmers. And after only a month at Epicenter, I think most of my interesting comments about any work I've done would be about DragonSpires and Furcadia anyway, which I could tell you anything I wanted about or even post a complete version of the source code. (I won't, but I could!) And of course, as I said in my intro, I'm really not going to say much of anything here because I'm much too busy. This message here can be my big "contribution" for the summer, and I guess I managed to successfully avoid saying anything really useful in it. :X) Anyway thanks for the warning, even though I didn't really need it. Hope things go well for you at TEN, and say hi to Dan Goldman for me the next time you see him. He might be interested to hear where I ended up this year. :X) -- Dr. Cat </PRE> <!--X-Body-of-Message-End--> <!--X-MsgBody-End--> <!--X-Follow-Ups--> <HR> <!--X-Follow-Ups-End--> <!--X-References--> <UL><LI><STRONG>References</STRONG>: <UL> <LI><STRONG><A NAME="01274" HREF="msg01274.html">Re: [MUD-Dev] Genuinely brief intro</A></STRONG> <UL><LI><EM>From:</EM> Jeff Kesselman <jeffk#tenetwork,com></LI></UL></LI> </UL></LI></UL> <!--X-References-End--> <!--X-BotPNI--> <UL> <LI>Prev by Date: <STRONG><A HREF="msg01278.html">Commercial interests and rules</A></STRONG> </LI> <LI>Next by Date: <STRONG><A HREF="msg01280.html">Re: [MUD-Dev] Life</A></STRONG> </LI> <LI>Prev by thread: <STRONG><A HREF="msg01274.html">Re: [MUD-Dev] Genuinely brief intro</A></STRONG> </LI> <LI>Next by thread: <STRONG><A HREF="msg01277.html">Re: [MUD-Dev] Genuinely brief intro</A></STRONG> </LI> <LI>Index(es): <UL> <LI><A HREF="index.html#01279"><STRONG>Date</STRONG></A></LI> <LI><A HREF="thread.html#01279"><STRONG>Thread</STRONG></A></LI> </UL> </LI> </UL> <!--X-BotPNI-End--> <!--X-User-Footer--> <!--X-User-Footer-End--> <ul><li>Thread context: <BLOCKQUOTE><UL> <LI><strong><A NAME="01281" HREF="msg01281.html">Re: mention from Mud-Dev</A></strong>, clawrenc <a href="mailto:clawrenc#cup,hp.com">clawrenc#cup,hp.com</a>, Wed 11 Jun 1997, 00:45 GMT <LI><strong><A NAME="01278" HREF="msg01278.html">Commercial interests and rules</A></strong>, clawrenc <a href="mailto:clawrenc#cup,hp.com">clawrenc#cup,hp.com</a>, Tue 10 Jun 1997, 22:26 GMT <LI><strong><A NAME="01273" HREF="msg01273.html">[MUD-Dev] Genuinely brief intro</A></strong>, Dr. Cat <a href="mailto:cat#eden,com">cat#eden,com</a>, Tue 10 Jun 1997, 10:16 GMT <UL> <LI><strong><A NAME="01274" HREF="msg01274.html">Re: [MUD-Dev] Genuinely brief intro</A></strong>, Jeff Kesselman <a href="mailto:jeffk#tenetwork,com">jeffk#tenetwork,com</a>, Tue 10 Jun 1997, 13:59 GMT <UL> <LI><strong><A NAME="01279" HREF="msg01279.html">Re: [MUD-Dev] Genuinely brief intro</A></strong>, Dr. Cat <a href="mailto:cat#eden,com">cat#eden,com</a>, Tue 10 Jun 1997, 22:34 GMT </LI> </UL> </LI> </UL> <UL> <li><Possible follow-up(s)><br> <LI><strong><A NAME="01277" HREF="msg01277.html">Re: [MUD-Dev] Genuinely brief intro</A></strong>, Chris Gray <a href="mailto:cg#ami-cg,GraySage.Edmonton.AB.CA">cg#ami-cg,GraySage.Edmonton.AB.CA</a>, Tue 10 Jun 1997, 21:54 GMT <UL> <LI><strong><A NAME="01289" HREF="msg01289.html">Re: [MUD-Dev] Genuinely brief intro</A></strong>, Jeff Kesselman <a href="mailto:jeffk#tenetwork,com">jeffk#tenetwork,com</a>, Wed 11 Jun 1997, 13:16 GMT </LI> <LI><strong><A NAME="01290" HREF="msg01290.html">Re: [MUD-Dev] Genuinely brief intro</A></strong>, Dr. Cat <a href="mailto:cat#eden,com">cat#eden,com</a>, Wed 11 Jun 1997, 21:12 GMT <UL> <LI><strong><A NAME="01294" HREF="msg01294.html">Re: [MUD-Dev] Genuinely brief intro</A></strong>, Jeff Kesselman <a href="mailto:jeffk#tenetwork,com">jeffk#tenetwork,com</a>, Thu 12 Jun 1997, 02:10 GMT </LI> </UL> </LI> </UL> </LI> </UL> </LI> </UL></BLOCKQUOTE> </ul> <hr> <center> [ <a href="../">Other Periods</a> | <a href="../../">Other mailing lists</a> | <a href="/search.php3">Search</a> ] </center> <hr> </body> </html>
