I think Ted you and me spoke on Discord in chat maybe once or twice when I first came on as Creative Director, one of the first things I asked was "What is the structuring of the dev repo? Because this looks like a mess". To which you laughed at me and said "Thats because there isn't one".
For anyone who doesn't have experience in a development team, thats an immediate HUGE red flag, especially for someone joining the team fresh. So many basic things were being missed it just screamed that Lucon+Hypercharge have no real clue what they are doing. Although I dont know if I blame Hypercharge really, Lucon is probably gaslighting him to no end in the background.
As creative director it was quite interesting to just get ignored at every turn. My background IRL is in Private Cloud + Bespoke hosting solutions for corporate environments, so I assumed (wrongfully) I would be included when discussing servers and the hosting side of S&M yet was never consulted or included on any of those discussions, nor was I ever included on any discussions surrounding the development of the combat. Originally plans had been put together by myself to bring on prominent NW players/groups to do phased private tests of these systems.
"Lucon - We need to be careful of the naming convention of the development/release versions because its going to confuse the players and if it confuses them, its going to be a fucking nightmare internally" - Ignored
"Lucon - We need to make sure the dev teams and 'directors' have input in the marketing material being sent out on Taleworlds, ModDB and to all these YouTubers + Streamers" - Ignored
Lucon is a guy with a LOT of ego, he constantly likes to remind people of his regiment in NW which 99% of players have never heard of. Only reason I heard of it is because I have been involved in a lot of hosting. This whole thing is a big vanity project to gain influence over a community, he wants to be the overlord of NW 2.0 and will bully anyone else with a strong voice out until its just him remaining. He has no qualifications to be the guy in charge of a project on this scale.
One of the biggest problems which you touched on imo, without being your typical 'british guy', was Lucon's terrible English. It was like talking to a disillusioned wife who just shakes her head and probably hasn't listened to a word you said.
I knew the mod was never going to be able to recover when Lucon released the trailer and release date without consulting anyone. Despite 0 work being done on the melee/server/technical side of the mod to be ready for this, so you just knew immediately the NW+Holdfast communities were going to spit on it and never look back.
Also Ted I can see they removed yours and many other peoples credits for the work you did. Again Lucon stroking his ego, it has to all be him. Nobody else can exist in the public eye but him. Disgraceful.
Almost forgot, a number of months ago Lucon asked me to return to the project to do what I had PLANNED from the beginning, which was the phased testing/daily tournaments to test the combat. Which I can see DarkTemplar is doing now. Fuck no was I going to come out of retirement for that shit.[close]
Hätte ich nicht besser sagen können.
Nur ein Detail: Dark hat auch sehr schnell hingeworfen, als er gemerkt hat, wo das Problem liegt.
