Fan Fiction... Ready for Prime Time?
Okay, I think it's ready. The Fan Fiction section now has an online submission form, and it's the ONLY way we'll accept stories. (Upload them, or email them to us, we'll politely point you to the form, the first time. After that, we'll simply discard them.) Now, it's been tested, but not RIGOROUSLY tested; I figured authors wanted it online more than they wanted assurances that there are zero bugs left in the code. This means that if you're a Fan Fiction author, make sure you keep a backup of your story until you see it on the site. If you run into a problem, tell us - we can't fix what we don't know about. All that said, go to it - read the revised guidelines, then head to the submission form, and submit your story according to the directions listed. Stories will be reviewed and approved once a day or so. (Louis Wu 11:40:25 UTC) (permalink)
What would YOU call it?
Hehe... BOLL is building a new desktop, and needs help with a caption. Do your stuff. Update: Looks like BOLL changed his mind - he doesn't want captions. (The pic is still worth looking at, though...) (Louis Wu 10:45:47 UTC) (permalink)
GDC Ninja Visit
Forum regular Shishka was at the Game Developer Conference yesterday; you can see his report (and a few pics) in this forum thread. I want one of those 'Make Your Mother Proud' signs! Update: Dan Chosich pointed out an article at HomeLAN Fed on the talk given by the Bungie folks on Halo. It's not very extensive, but there are some interesting tidbits:
Bungie created most of their own development tools for Halo and demoed them to the audience but unforunately their level design tool called Sapien didn't work completely during the panel so people were not able to see how Halo levels actually look inside the editor.
Go read the rest! Update 2: poena.dare found some more GDC coverage at GameSpy - I'd point to it directly, but his article at Bungie Sightings is a must-not-miss. (Louis Wu 10:43:14 UTC) (permalink)
If You Build It, They Will Come
Interested in making a decent chapter site at Bungie's Seventh Column? Well, sit right down and read what SketchFactor has to say on the subject - after you read his 'Building a Better Chapter' article, you'll be on your way to a fantastic home for your group! (Louis Wu 04:24:00 UTC) (permalink)
