Missions in preparation

PtitBill: The missions being currently coded progress quietly, we've had a big part of the fyros project changed because of an anomaly regarding the Lore.As for the Tryker part, there are lots of projects, Zendae's one is taking its course... and during demonstrations it seemed to be liked by everyone.Lots of proposal by Bastien as much for the Trykers as for the other countries with a simple adjustment... but it's a bit early to talk about it.Rikutatis has joined us with Zoraï project, we're waiting for his texts.Some surprises for all countries. The players will have surprises which will change their habits.Deed is working on his Matis occupation but if other "matis" volunteers have ideas and feel like being authors, they can contact us.

1 New Encyclopedia
The Level Design group will work differently from now, to be more efficient. The actuel workflow is too counterproductive. the group will just create scenarios, positions and names of objects and NPC and dialogs, without creating itself scripting, which belongs to Ark group work.


2 Missions in preparation
Ptitbill: I have for now 3 super authors that prepares new stuff. Those new missions should, with the new workflow, be in game earlier. Those addons will be missions and occupations you are not used to do, we want to surprise you and not to make clones for existing missions/occupations. Regarding Encyclopedia, the matis 50 rite in ongoing, will come next the geographical zorai 50 and a tryker which will be ... geographical 100. Before going further in the writing, I wait to see the result of the first, the matis. The new workflow should allow me to hold my schedule, which is 1 rite per month. But, writing new stuff, despite being not difficult, needs time. And to get this time we are lacking, the more we will be, the more new stuff will appear in game. So I ask, as each week, if new authors are willing to join (ptitbill@ryzom.com). I would need, if possible, a person that dive in forums to get ideas posted by players. Some are really interesting but now in the depths of the topics. The new simplified workflow will be soon available. Any person that wish to help and bring a new spirit in Ryzom can contact me (ptitbill@ryzom.com). I remind we want to make new stuff and not copies of existing ones.

Gaueko: I usually do that Ptitbill (dive in the topics) for other Team reason, so I can try to do focus on this too. Of course, any help will be welcomed.
Siela: For now i'm still busy but I'll be able to dive in forums.
Ptitbill: Thanks Siela, all help is welcome, I'll put a PAD online to gather those ideas: https://lite6.framapad.org/p/Ryzom_LD_RF_20151208000000.

PtitBill: "Nothing new for this week, the projects advance. Depyraken advances on his project of fishing and Zendae, Deed, Bastien and the others work on their missions. Deed waits for the growth of trees, Zendae a door for the fence, Bastien visual elements 2D/3D.
I make a new call for authors. Contact me at ptitbill@ryzom.com."

1 Missions and occupations
PtitBill: A huge majority of the current projects are waiting for the previous groups : Graphic and Ark. Deed and Zedae's projects are waiting for 3D elements and the Bastien's ones the Ark team. The matis rite is blocking almost everybody. Then will come the Fyros, Tryker and Zoraï. The "fisher" project is in progress, I let Depyraken talk about it.

Depyraken: As any video is better than any word... http://ryzom.nicetuna.com/data/images/fisherman2.wmv
Kervala: Depyraken, it's excellent!

PtitBill: Level Design group is still searching for authors wanting to realize a project (mission or occupation) with all its steps: synopsis writing, 2D/3D graphic step, Ark script, dialogs writing and of course test phases. For any questions, please contact me: pstitbill@ryzom.com. Only one obligation: show originality.

Talkirc: I've added 2 ideas to the pad for review, one is my "upper branches" project outline (i linked the original ideas forum post for the outline, each supporting idea is linked on that outline in the ideas forums (each idea has it's own thread, because the rule is one idea per thread), it's a very large project, and if needed I can explain anything in detail or clarify as needed.)
I also linked on the pad the RP stories I wrote to help support the idea. Both of these are public on the game forums. The 2nd idea I added is for a new mission giving NPC, which is also on the ideas forum, cross linked with another persons idea for amplifier crafting missions, because this NPC would be a simple solution to include their idea as well. I have many other ideas in waiting, as yet published on the forums, mostly because they build on the "upper branches" stories and ideas. Some of the work on the upper branches would require dev help for some minor parts (eg. respawn point, solution to not loosing mainland respawns when visiting the old starter islands, and possibly a few other things) the upper branches ideas recycle much content already coded to help lighten the workload, but will still require much effort and time.

Fishing occupation

Depyraken: In what concerns me, I'm still working on the fishing occupation. I have added some functions on the server to handle what till now wasn't. Till now fauna wasn't able to go into the water, now... it can and can be blocked from leaving it. This progress should allow us to create Water mounts.

Artificer occupation

Q: Still for the fun... would it be possible to craft fireworks? (As for me, I'd resub just to get this option...)
A: it was possible to create fireworks during the OOC event for Ryzom 10 years, thanks to a special mission.
If it were reactivated definitively, it would be great!
A: The idea is to be considered, but probably not definitively, it would make the fireworks too common. Level-Design team makes a note of the idea, maybe for a next occupation.
