[Shift2] The team so far..


Recommended Posts

Right, in one of the other threads it was noted that I had no clear list of the team.

So here it is, the list so far. If I have missed someone out then let me know/post on there and I'll try and sort it.

Just remember this is a learning project, after all the trolling in the other threads, I want to make it clear that we are doing this to learn, not to set the world alight (thats for later :p). I respect that everyone has their own opinions, but there is no need to troll.

Also remember this isn't a commitment, Im just getting these names by scouring the who's in page. Again theres something you don't like, let me know :)

If this is Ubuntu-based, I want nothing to do with it (We have 748374383 Ubuntu rip-offs already.). Regardless, I wish the team luck and I hope you fellas enjoy working on it. It's always nice to see a community coming together to do something constructive! GL guys!

It's looking like it's going to be Arch based :)

So far the vote is swinging quite largely in favour of Arch.

Really nice to see this. Its brought the Linux section alive on Neowin.

Hopefully in a few months after finishing some other project, I can help (and learn) on the programming side.

Heres hoping this project gets off the ground and into the big wide world :pint:

Thanks and all the best with your existing project! Hope to see you on the dark side soon! :)

Good to hear! Sorry if my previous post sounded prickish -- it wasn't intentional. I truly am excited for the project and I want it to succeed. Let Ubuntu be Ubuntu!

Hehe no worries mate :)

I wish you all the best of luck with this.

Thanks! :)

I'm also here to help if needed (either design or development). Worked with the old shift and i've also submitted a fair bit to the ubiquity project :)

Thanks Brian M, will add you to the list :)

You guys make me proud.

This is taking off so fast! :,)

Oh, if there ever is something that needs to be done with scripting, I'd gladly lend a hand.

(if the scripting language is something I can quickly hop into :p - course I don't think we'll be using AppleScript :laugh:)

Side question: if I happened to have something really cool outside of my department (graphics and photo), would that be welcome, too?

(like: send it to the specific department or something along those lines...)

Of course it would be welcome, just create a thread and let us know if you have anything you want to put in.

    • Nah. For every indie dev that needs to create code for "stuff" or textures, it's a godsend enabler to possibly tackle a project that you may not otherwise. The end result and testing will tell the truth if everything works or doesn't, or a game is just mediocre slop, but now these tools are now there and it's the developer's duty to judge the outcome, and even more so for pro studios. And you gotta remember that they will be at an early stage.
    • whoosh my comment went over your head. Enjoy your notchless 3:2 OLED device
    • As a game dev, today was really depressing. They announced that Blueprints will be deprecated in UE6 to be fully replaced by their sh**ty Python-like Verse language... They also announced that 5.8 will be the last version of UE5 until UE6 comes out in MID 2029!!!! They have completely lost the plot.
