      Do you think I'll get fired if I show that to my boss?

        I'd say anyplace you'd get fired showing this to the Man is a place you don't want to work in the first place.

        Go ahead, show it to Vel and see what happens!

          Well actually, I work for a small company and we have a very nice working atmosphere. I've tried the big company thing before and didn't like my experience. So I'm guessing if I show it to my boss he'll take it with a good laugh

          As for Vel ....

            Vel's response and reaction:

            Hey man...I used to work there!

            Great pic, Trooper!

              Okay. Vel, tell me who you want to take out a contract on and I'll call Mongoose and we will rub'em out for you.

              Hmm, we'll have to have 5% of the net per body. I don't need it in writing.

              GP I'll do for free.

                    Hey, just wanted to add my opinion here. I'm in this project for one reason.

                    To have fun and learn.

                    If there was some type of monetary gain to be had later on in the project, it would be way past version 0.1 and one to version 2.0. If I was totally shafted by the group, I'd be rightfully pissed, but I don't think that this will happen. I suspect that there will be folks that thought that they should have gotten a bigger piece of the pie for their contribution. I'm happy as long as the division is fair.

                    From a financial point of view, I am doing well already; this is part time endeavor.

                    GP, you are right in that it needs to be defined at some point most likey on the road to the version that folks will pay for.

                      I challenge you to find someone who isn't.

                      And I predict you'll be amazed at how different different people's notions of "fair" will turn out to be eventually.

                      • Agreed, but my fair has fairly [sic] wide boundaries.

                          • Freeze, the guys with experience (UR and moomie) have been backing me up on the business concept issues. They are not MBA weenies...but they do have significant commercial expereince in software.

                            I'm ok with my closet. The points are registering...

                              • demo version versus commercial version

                                This is something that has been bugging me. How much time and attention is (or should be) devoted to the demo versus the coimmercial version?

                                Some random other questions:

                                -Seems like many bystanders, and Vel and other designers are more interested in discussing the commercial version than the demo version. Is this good? Or should everybody be worrying about the demo version?

                                -how much of the demo code and work will be useable for the commercial version?

                                -Is the demo version seen as a "learning project"? I.e. training for how to do the commercial version?

                                -how good (in terms of player fun) does the demo version need to be to accompolish it's advertising opbjectives.

                                (Have some more random thoughts, but will spit them out as I see the discussion emerge. Sorry I don't have a more exact querry.)
