I'm not sure what screenshots would be good for, but whatever.

I'll be able to be copying the Dev meet.
So put me down as a "writer".

Its simple my friend if you only view shouts and expand your chat pannel you can get the entire dev meet with three maybe four screen shots of the pannel

...I was under the delusion that you could just copy and paste it.
Huh.

I believe you used to be able to do that. But now, it will only let you select one message at a time, I don't think you can select the whole conversation anymore.

ya u can't, its really inconvenient lol...it makes it take much longer then it should  

[Chokin]

Perhaps I can make it to today's meet-up.
I'll probably be multitasking writing a research paper, though, so I can't guarantee being able to help with screens and things.
 

[TigerLilyChick]

Join Mavdoc on Bootsnake server in Barton Town at 5:00pm PST today.

I don't know if this was said here yet, but I will be there. Unfortunately, I don't know how to record a meeting.  

[Ju Tru Nix]

Just checking in to say, "when you've got the screens, send me a pm." 3nodding  

[Hikari Tokoyami]

I am gonna attend the meeting. Hope to get screens >.<  

[cnoisy]

well i'm there, now to wait for mav to appear  

[Emyre]

Better to have too many screenshots than too few.

 

[TigerLilyChick]

Change of plan. [JK] kept us busy before the meeting started, but everyone got dazed so I had to warp to the Null Chamber. When I got back, I was in a different layer. I can't get back to the other layer because the layer is full.  

[cnoisy]

Werid Line Thing lol

Holy s**t O.O

Some News

Some more news

Okay wow

Goodbye Mav! crying  

[Ju Tru Nix]

Thanks for the heads up cnoisy, but do you have the complete screens of the chat window?
I need a screen featuring all the discussions so that I can include both the relevant questions as well as their responses.
Again, thanks in advance to all who were there to get the screens, feel free to comment or pm me when they are available.

actually no, i didn't get the transcript, only the pics sweatdrop  

[Nanenna]

Good news and bad news. The bad news is my hours at work got changed, it is now basically impossible for me to get to any meats at 5 PM unless I get called not in. Good news is that if they ever had any noon meats again I could make them and it's very likely I'll always make any of JK's late meats, like tonights. I plan on screenshotting EVERYTHING! 8D  

[Ju Tru Nix]

Good news again... CleoSombra (Guild leader of the zOMG Chatterbox) has graciously allowed me to use her screenshots from her thread Cleo's thread - go see it... she is awesome in her support! )
I will get right on typing it up and will post it as soon as I am finished...  

[Ju Tru Nix]

K, prep for massive amount of text! I pretty much typed out everything that was in the screens of CleoSombra's (again... we need to all hit up her thread as thanks for the awesome screens, at the very least!) Cleo's forum thread
(No, I did not edit the texts, there are areas where it was 'missing' text... and I'd REALLY love to know the questions to most of these answers, but this is what I had to work with and I'm grateful I had it! heart Thank you, Cleo! )
Also, I was happy that I recognized a few of the guild members usernames coming up in here! Good job guys!

On with the show!

Mavdoc : No Christmas event, but lots of good stuff coming soon.
Mavdoc: I wanted to tell everyone tonight; the plan is to release Coliseum next week! biggrin
Mavdoc: There are 3 different modes and I believe 5 difficulty levels
Mavdoc: Enough to keep you busy for quite a while I think smile
Mavdoc: No PvP... yet
Mavdoc: One day we will find a way to implement it
Mavdoc: But it'll probably appear first in Coliseum
Mavdoc: Sorry, I do respond to PMs... when I have time
Mavdoc: But I've been busy
Mavdoc: Another thing I was going to mention--today I put the finishing touches on Boardwalk smile
Mavdoc: You should be able to get into BB in about a month with the headstart tickets if everything goes according to plan smile
Mavdoc: I'm not sure if I can discuss prices for anything yet
Mavdoc: But rest assured, it'll be under $100 wink
Mavdoc: Yeah, better news this time smile
Mavdoc: Undermountain I'll be working on next, and will probably be the next area released.
Mavdoc: Cleo-- the whole zOMG! team currently is swarf, Bron, JK and myself ^^
Mavdoc: GTFO, no Boardwalk is done now.
Mavdoc: Just needs to go through some testing and setup
Mavdoc: We'll be adding more events to it later here and there when we can
Mavdoc: But as far as the headstart hangout, that's done

Mavdoc: Raiko, I'm sure there is-- but I just don't know it razz

Mavdoc: Archaic: the same one as which?
Mavdoc: Sorry in advance if I miss a lot of questions xP
Mavdoc: Bye Fox smile
Mavdoc: No Christmas event planned -- we have our hands completely full with other things I listed

Mavdoc: Khrate: I think the tree will be in Barton though smile
Mavdoc: At least I hope xD

Mavdoc: Raiko: we use Flash Actionscript, Java and Groovy
Mavdoc: Yup, you'll have to say goodby to the fountain pigeons for a week or so! xP
Mavdoc: We are using Flash CS3
Mavdoc: It took a TON of work to convert from AS2 a few years ago
Mavdoc: It pretty much delayed the game by a good deal razz

Mavdoc: Sega: we decided against any combat in Boardwalk for right now
Mavdoc: But there should be plenty of places to hangout there
Mavdoc: Backend is Java I believe -- yeah
Mavdoc: We're gonna have pirate fluffs at some point. That would be a wasted opportunity it seems like otherwise. wink

Mavdoc: HidingShadows: noted smile
Mavdoc: Yeah, we're not going to be up(dating... [assumed]) our code anytime soon xD
Mavdoc: We'd need much more help on (??? I don't know T.T)
Mavdoc: Seems like clan chat would be worked on, but that would be swarf and I don't know what's on his plate currently
Mavdoc: Haha-- you'll have to wait on news of the pets xD
Mavdoc: JK will be on later tonight

Mavdoc: Kain: all the support and help in getting zOMG! out in public knowledge has been so awesome. We appreciate it so much wink
Mavdoc: Best thing you can do to help is purchase any of the items we'll be selling and tell friends about them too
Mavdoc: Great sales would assure a strong future for the game smile

Mavdoc: Multibass: you can buy as many as you like! biggrin
Mavdoc: We actually closed the gap on Rally smile
Mavdoc: swarf was telling us last week that we're neck and neck with them
Mavdoc: Now we just have to BEAT them! > smile

Mavdoc: Rabid: I doubt old MCs would be made available again. They really wanted them to be bought at the time.

Mavdoc: Gothic: sorry I don't have a date yet for the cursed pumpkin, but it is soon! I just talked with JK today about what would be in it
Mavdoc: No hints for now either sad

Mavdoc: longname: naw, it means you have an awesome life smile

Mavdoc: Just talked to JK about it -- Vivox keeps changing ther code, meaning we need to keep updating it for it to work
Mavdoc: Since we don't have enough people to look into it, that becomes really hard sad
Mavdoc: Skype works pretty well if Vivox is giving you problems

Mavdoc: Vivianne: nope, not this year-- probably just the same Barton Christmas from previous years though
Mavdoc: We have too much going on with Coliseum, Boardwalk, pets etc

Mavdoc: Looked away for a second and all of a sudden there is talk of pools? ?_?

Mavdoc: Raiko:I'm a hardcore gamer! smile
Mavdoc: I always have to be playing something xD
Mavdoc: Don't play the Sims, though I have many friends that have worked on many different titles creating the games
Mavdoc: A couple of friends are trying to get me to play Mincraft xD
Mavdoc: I'm kinda more of a action gamer, HD, crazy graphics kinda person though ^^

Mavdoc: Oral: zOMG! used to be known as Battle internally and throughout the site. Gaians have been requesting it since long before I started here.
Mavdoc: I was just able to actually start the project though smile

Mavdoc: Sega-- yeah, I was part of zOMG! since day one, and there were many months in the beginning where I was the only artist on the team! xD

Mavdoc: Sega: JK was there in the beginning too
Mavdoc: He's been here longer than me
Mavdoc: nodname is no longer with us sad
Mavdoc: I didn't hear all the details why, but I guess it just didn't work out
Mavdoc: I think Lanzer played at least some in the beginning

Mavdoc: Oh cool Sen!
Mavdoc: Hahaha
Mavdoc: I haven't heard from fin (Craig) since he left
Mavdoc: I'm sure he'll stop by one of these days smile
Mavdoc: He's still a part of Gaia technically

Mavdoc: Sorry I missed a bunch ^^

Mavdoc: swarf came by telling me Boardwalk should build tonight razz
Mavdoc: What the heck? xD
Mavdoc: Yes, I am single razz
Mavdoc: O o;;
Mavdoc: Anyone else have other questions? xD
CleoSombra: Yes.
Mavdoc: *changes topic8 wink
CleoSombra: For statistical purposes only
CleoSombra: Let's say you were trapped on an elevator with one zOMG dev.
CleoSombra: Who would that developer be?

Mavdoc: slevin: we used to have zOMG! plushies for sale!

Mavdoc: I'm not sure if you can
that's a good point razz

Mavdoc: One of the very first things I di (cut off...)
joined Gaia was to design and work with (cut off...)
company for making different plushies xP
Mavdoc: OMG and Gwee were the ones I worked on

Mavdoc: scully: not sure! xD

Mavdoc: My birthday is Tron Legacy release day ^^
Mavdoc: Most recent manga I read was probably Gantz
Mavdoc: That was quite a while ago even though xD
Mavdoc: Yes! I so enjoyed Gantz biggrin I'm really behind though now razz

Mavdoc: sorry cnoisy-- I must have missed them razz


Mavdoc: Dammed: they'll be new stuff released right around Christmas... It just won't be themed with Santa or snow etc wink

Mavdoc: Sega: haven't heard-- were there new ones that were going to be made?
Mavdoc: I'd love to see all these posters that are getting made smile
Mavdoc: Ah, you updated that thread since I was last there Cleo -- cool biggrin

Mavdoc: Sorry, I was checking out the link
Mavdoc: I'm not dead! wink
Mavdoc: Oh, wait... *croak* x_X
Mavdoc: Spoke too soon razz
Mavdoc: Mavstahd xD
Mavdoc: That sounds wrong somehow razz
Mavdoc: One sec

Mavdoc: But making a new town would be an incredible amount of work (for Bron too!)
Mavdoc: So it might be quite a while till we get to it

Mavdoc: Khrate:yeah, sometimes it feels like we nibble here and there when we can razz
Mavdoc: Sky City might get bumped up the list after talking more with JK
Mavdoc: We'll see what we can do

Mavdoc: Sega: I've been thinking about making an ice/snow level more and more lately
Mavdoc: Hopefully sometime soon
Mavdoc: Maybe in the middle of August wink
Mavdoc: When it's nice and hot out

Mavdoc: Yeah, no clue on a real date X)

Mavdoc: Ugly Duckling: the base south of Village was always something we wanted to do as well
Mavdoc: At one point I got started on it, but shelfed for now
Mavdoc: Sorry, what was the endless question?

Mavdoc: slide: I haven't heard about that sad

Mavdoc: kota12: like the level inside a cow?

Mavdoc: Mayakashi: I haven't heard-- I really don't know sad
Mavdoc: Not sure who monitors

Mavdoc: Well everyone, thank you much for coming out, but I've gotta get going
Mavdoc: Have a great night all!

Mavdoc: You can check that forum post to see when JK will show up.
