Ty vogue for the willingess to contribute.. I will also contribute financially what i can.. HOWEVER I also agree.. we need to get some things straightened out 1st.. We cant just have people see the game and hope they will become fans.. we need to come together with a more awesome visual for the server list and something more organized for joining servers and obviously a video compilation very well put together to generate interest. Might take a little time but.. volunteers to help get things going is a great start.

What we need is to do something like BF3. A web portal that plugs into arma, with the ability to launch the client and connect directly to a server. The existing server list would remain within the client for all us old *******.

Many development ideas. About time now to build a team and start doing (and stop talking). I'm not criticizing, I just feel that every year there are same convo but nothing never happen. So if you want it hard, do it by yourself, and be sure i'll be the first to cheer and thank you :)

Yes, a team would be good. First port of call, however, is to make AA work with the steam SDK. Myself and Vogue are currently working on that. After that, we can consider and debate how we're going to work it.

I'm intrigued, it almost seems like something may come from this discussion. Kudos to you guys! I hope this follows through, I'm sure it has a lot of potential :)

This seems to be a lot of people's mentality, and a primary reason for the failure of many potentially great things for Armagetron. Everyone contributes for a mass discussion, we determine a feasible path to take, and then everyone points their fingers around wondering who's going to implement the grand plan. The thing about all these discussions is that someone has to have the time and capability of doing it.

The real solution to lighting a spark under Armagetron is obtaining more developers with the time to implement the latest and greatest ideas.

Well, development should be underway soon, albeit with slow progress. I don't have the time or energy to devote everything to this project, but I forsee at least something by the end of August.

Can someone who knows what needs done separate the tasks and ask for volunteers to help get things done? I dont know what all needs done though as I have stated in the past im decent with marketing and graphics which at some point we'll need a team for that.
