Developer Blog
Hello my fellow Maddenboarders. This is my feeble attempt at blogging the dev process of the 'game' I am making.

I want to start by saying that I know this site has become a sort of a fossil. It has been stagnant... stale.. rotting for a while now.. There are members here who are considered old timers. And I don't really remember how big that list is, but I know that the number of them that still visit here is really small.

The ones that do are the ones who are extremely loyal.

TitansRule.
TOFN
Billster
Kevin71

Of course Chaos and Tigam who know me IRL and are here because I own it.

Guys like Short, SickNasty, and Disturbed pop in from time to time to look at the site but dont post much.

Greatone and GPG are newer but were once very active.

GHS dropped in once a while back but then was gone again..

Then you have SilentTOM... ItallionStallion (a member with a VERY low member number on this place) and HolyJabroni.. who it seems happen to run across something every once in a while that reminds them this place was here and they come to look at it like people viewing relics in a museum.

Souljah pops in and out and has had a few too many names..

Then there is SlickRick who was once the biggest supporter of MB. Someone I developed a friendship with even though he lives in Jersey and me in the heartland.

I think at any time we could see anyone I have mentioned above pop back in here and say hi.. or join right back in the topics of discussion.

Then there are those who are gone.. it seems for good.. a visit from them would be like someone rising from the dead.

SenorMatt.. Fearme504.. Dlove.. Qb8Stunner.. bfy222



So anyway.. enough rambling from me for now.

To the point of this post.. I am building a simulation football game to run here at maddenboard. I have had this idea for a LONG time and never had the confidence that I would be able to pull it off. Then I found another site that is doing this very thing.

The guy that runs it know A LOT more about programming than I do.. That much is clear, I have a lot of learning to do to catch up on that aspect of this, and it is a big factor because the programming is what is going to make the ideas and thoughts turn into something real and tangible.

Having said that I think I know A LOT more about football than he does. And once I figure out the programming side of this I think that will make for a better game overall.

So a few days ago I started working on this. I read a lot on pathfinding and object collision detection. I'm learning that I am going to have to build a lot of algorithms which is luckily something I am fairly good at. I also am going to have to do a lot of brainstorming to come up with good systems to do each thing I want to do.

For the past three days I have been thinking of locomotion and how I want to achieve that. Today I had a breakthrough that has gotten me a fraction of the way there (I think).

There is also a specific book I want to read before I get to far in because I know it will help me a lot, so I went to buy it yesterday but the book store did not have it so I have ordered it from amazon.

We are a long way from any type of alpha testing or script interaction.. but I made a list of people up above.. and when it comes time to have some alpha testing done.. I plan to look to those people above for help first (I may have forgotten a few people if I did forgive me.. you will be accepted too). So if you are interested, and you were mentioned earlier in this post or know you are an old timer here.. now might be a good time to stick around the site and become more active.

Till next blog..

Exciting stuff. I'll try to pop in more frequently...a lot more frequently hopefully.

I'm sure this new project will draw people to the site and spike activity like the Sim League did, but I also think we have to get some good old fashioned message board discussions going if we want people to come back and new people to join. I logged in for the first time in forever last night and was shocked at how low activity has gotten...where the heck did everybody go?

It'll be fun. But most will realise you know what you're doing.

It was nothing but flameing Cash and our boards, until Bort jumped in the convo and encouraged Cash to do it... then it was a 180º

Yeah, activity will be on the raise again after the MMO and the SIM LEAGUE, if you decide to do it again. I have no clue what this GLB is, but to be honest, I don’t care much about them.

What made some persons disappear was the slow death of the old league. For lot of guys it had a shock effect. But it all had reasons, very good reasons.

I assume you’re talking here about your new plans on this MMO for football. I hope you will succeed with it.

I will be around and involved of course whether it will be in the MMO or the SIM LEAGUE I dunno right now. A SIM LEAGUE would be my first preference because I like to watch the games, but your other new idea sounds good too.

And if I think about all the stuff written in the last couple of days I am not absolutely sure, if they are not 3 three separate things. A Madden SIM League, this MMO and your newest idea of an own game with a SIM LEAGUE… But I think this MMO is your newest idea of a SIM LEAGUE…

I am eager to see how things develop here, and no matter what the results will be, I am sure the will be good and something absolutely unique and very enjoyable.

Haha, I'm pretty much going to echo whats already been said, good luck cash, we all know you can do it, and really can't wait to see the finished product!
I've been too busy lately with exams and stuff so I havn't been able to get here that much, but its always one of the first sites I visit when I do get on
