Some Ideas for Unify

:twisted:

I don’t know the current plans 4 the unify website but I invisioned something like this:

Before I continue, I use the word Uni-ites alot. Its pronounced like the isrealights :idea: but with a uni (as in unicorn) infront of it.

Welcome - About us, Join us, LaLa

Wiki - script and extra docs and examples.

Register/Login
Project Corner
-For Uni-ites looking for help. Create a project
-Detailed layout of each project mantainable by the leader or webmaster of that project.
-Possible RSS updates for news on an individual project and every time someone creates a new Project:?:
-Sign up for an avalible position applications with your personalized User Id
-Each user has a depenibility rating witch shows how many projects he/she has completed and who he pissed off and why…(everyone he/she signs up with gets to rate him/her with a reson for their rating) This is to stop those people who sign up with everything and do nothing (i.e they coudn’t help b/c their grandma died for the 5th time!!!) I understand everyones busy and Life happens, whitch (Spelling lv 6) is why most people wouldn’t care if you leave. But people who you never here back from or who always have something happen is what this is to prevent(But this never happens here does it :?: :twisted: . Also it lets you know who your working with and gives you some achievement when you finish. That you and your communtity can be proud of.
(It’s more for the latter then the former, I understand that almost everyone of us Uni-ites are good hearted geeks)

A Unified wishlist that we (as a uni-ite body can vote on and submite to OTEE)

A wiki spectator wishlist of games,web apps and dashboard widgets.

A uni-store, for self publishing :?:
And selling gamepacks (alot of you guys were willing to pay for that…(I still think that we should try to help eachother out as much as possible though but selling thins isn’t bad I can just see it going bad…(Like noone helps without pay and no more code snippits but charging for everything…)
This can also work for the outside world like a group of Uni-ites make some models to sell to visitors (Good Press and Profit)

A collection of web demos and apps

**A collaberation of plugins (For Pro)**so everyone dosn’t have to re-envent the wheel and we can leap-frog off eachothers back

A drawing board where off-the-cuff post and Long thought out documents can be indexed and voted on. Each with its own node for a brainstorming section.

Just My freakin take on the world it’s my first post so even if you hate it, act like you like it or else I’ll never post again (I’m suisidal) You ADVANCED TO SPEELING LEVEL 7!!! CONGRATS

Heres a pole I wan’t your honest oppion YOU WERE DEMOTED tO SPEELING LEVEL 6 Drates!!!
But not really. Just Kidding, But not really…

You’re on Spelling Level 1. If you’re suicidal at least spell it right… you don’t want your last declaration to the world to have typos… people will laugh at you in the after-life.

This isn’t MySpace or Friendster, no one is trying to rack up popularity points for finished projects so the rating system sounds lame.

However:

Unity as a game publisher… not a terrible idea (I think it’s been brought up before).

Tons of demos/tutorials is a great idea… it’s coming along too. The WIKI has some and OTEE is trying to do some more in depth ones internally.

The Plug-ins floating around for Pro are non-existent… this is an avenue where either someone could make some money or share their skills.

Some sort of asset database already exists on the WIKI, but more assets like models, textures, etc, would be great…

Welcome to Unity, don’t off yourself quite yet. You might find game creation preferable to death.

Okay,request noted. How about instead a list of stuff you contributed too (Healthy Competiviness, Earn Respect,Noobies (like me) some one to look up too.??? With a an option for Comments

Can’t all that gibberish just work itself out organically. Besides, I respect a number of people on here for reasons other than some quantifiable skills they might have. Just chill out on this aspect and enjoy making some stuff with Unity. We’ll all be glad to help you out no matter what “skill rating” you have.

There are already plans for content packs, more tuts, an online “arcade” and some sort of community project system. The thing thats holding all this back is I don’t have all the skills and time needed, so it will progress as I am able to push it forward. If anyone wants to help with any part of the site they can contact me.

I also don’t like the rating idea thing. We are a bunch of friends here. We hang out and create cool stuff together. We are indies not a bunch of cold harted AAA studios fighting for the buck (not a generalization just something you DO see). Welcome to the comunity, take some time to find your nitch in it and you will spend more time here than you ought to :p. Keep rocking guys. Jeff

Some cool ideas, Vador :slight_smile:

Wish I had more time to volunteer… somebody needs to help Outcast out :slight_smile:

Shouldn’t this be in the wish list?

It is a wish for Unify not Unity, so I think gossip is the best place for it.

Fair enough. Luckily I made off with Vador’s shoes…

Heh heh, yeah it helps in a pinch. :slight_smile:
