Post Data IRC Log
So yeah, after updating the devlog tonight, Data came on IRC and talked to all of us dudes.

It's an interesting read, and contains good information.

Quote:
-> Data has joined drlchat
09:51 Electroclan Wow, it's data.
Electroclan Hello.
Cinos Woah, Data.
Data hi
ProjektTHOR Purdy picturrz on Devlog are all fictional? :[
Electroclan space invaders on CC
Girf o hay Data
09:52 Data ya prom made a mockup for fun
Girf By "Commercial release"
Girf D'you mean,
Girf paytoplay?
Cinos Yes
Girf Or just, approaching that status?
Cinos Oh
Data pay to unlock the full version, yeah
Girf Kay.
Girf Like, next build will be?
Electroclan photobucket is being a pain in the ass
Data it's either that, or prom and i have to go get jobs ;(
09:53 Girf Ah.
Girf
Girf I promise to buy a copy.
Girf Pricing?
Electroclan I as well.
Data k so here's the plan
steel hmmm you know about steam data?
Data exclusive scoop
steel *steam*
09:54 Cinos Yeah we get it, steam
ProjektTHOR im chargin mah prtscr
Data we plan to start selling a not-feature complete version shortly after igf
Girf ProjektTHOR: Indeed.
steel well i dunno but you could prolly do sumthing to post it on steam
Girf steel: Please stop talking
09:55 Data by not feautre complete i mean it won't have the full campaign
Electroclan Hell, i'll buy it.
Electroclan anyway.
Data it will be missing a couple of other features we would like to put in
Girf Alright.
Girf Are you free to say what those "other features" will be?
Girf Or would you have to kill me?
Data but it will be playable and enjoyable, hopefully quite a lot more than the test builds
Data i'd have to kill you all.
09:56 Girf Aww.
steel =o...
Electroclan What about modding capabilties, do we have increased modding horizons?
Cinos Cortex Command is a matter of national security
Electroclan In future builds.
Girf Purchases of this first build, will they roll over?
Data shhhh
09:57 Data anyway, so this not quite done version, would be sold at a discount of what the final feauter complete game will eventually cost
Girf Kay.
Data *feautre
Alenth haha
steel not to be sounding stupid but
-> Gwen5640 has joined drlchat
09:58 ChanServ sets user mode +a Gwen5640
ChanServ sets user mode +o: Gwen5640 is now a room operator
Girf Wait
Data but once you buy a key for CC, it will also unlock the complete version
Girf Why is gwen op and not Data. >.>
steel i would thinik it would be stupid so sell the not quite verzion and a discount price
Cinos Because the world is crazy
steel then sell the real game
ProjektTHOR Data doesnt put out enough.
ProjektTHOR obviously.
ProjektTHOR lol
Alenth sets user mode +o: Data is now a room operator
Electroclan +m?
09:59 steel +o?
steel wtf is that
Alenth +electro is insane?
Electroclan see what I mean?
Data electro, sure
Data for a minute
Cinos I might as well mention that my first action upon installing a build is to set the controls back to the old ones where q and e didn't switch.
Alenth I should track down data and beat him at his own game :3
10:00 steel i would go for users setting up thir own controlls
Girf Lol
ChanServ sets user mode +h Electroclan
Cinos Also that was completely irrelevant
Cinos What I said, I mean
Girf So anyways,
Electroclan Sorry, forgot.
Girf besides the eventual purchasing scheme,
Girf what's up with next build, Data
Data girf hold on
Girf Kay.
10:01 steel mmmm damn 12:02
Data i want to get your reaction on the plan
Data do you guys understand what i mean?
Girf Yeah
Girf Starting with Build 19,
ProjektTHOR changes nick to ProjektSLEEPING
Girf Keys to the game can be bought
Girf At a price that will be lower than the final version
Girf I like it
10:02 steel i dunno but i would advertise CC on some well knowen sites and then sell it at a resonable price
Girf You get money, but us proud forum-goers
Electroclan Though I'm not sure many people would like paying for an early incomplete game, but yeah, you guys need to pay the bills.
Girf Get a discount,
Girf off the final game.
Girf I'm liking the plan
Data slectro, hence the discount
steel and i wouldent make people pay for every version of the game for the builds
Data *electro
Girf steel: Learn to read
10:03 Cinos Data, if you used your skills to heat the grills, I'm sure you could turn the thermostat down and save some money on your gas bill.
Data (selectro would be a cool nick)
Girf changes nick to Selectro
Electroclan Oh wonderful.
Gwen5640 'ello data
Selectro changes nick to Girf
steel grif i dont know about u but your pissing me off D:
Alenth apparently I should get to sleep
Electroclan Night.
10:04 Girf Yes, but I'm a hop, Steel.
Girf Night, Alenth
steel hop?
Girf Half op.
Girf Namely, I can kick you.
Girf And ban you.
steel ok dude no thats not cool not to be mean
Electroclan Data, how moddable will the final game be? Will it have online multiplayer?
10:05 Data so how much would you guys pay for the early version as described? level editor, a few really cool campaign missions with unique content in each, much better skirmish mode, pathfinding ai etc?
Electroclan I would.
Girf Data: Up to 30 dollars
Girf Up to 50 for full game.
steel i would pay 5 dollars 10 max
steel because its not full version of the game
Girf steel: But you GET the full version
Cinos Hey data, am I the only one who sees a pig's face in the dropship?
Data anyone else?
10:06 steel oh the full version
Girf Buying a key at this point gives you access to full content on all future versions
Data cinos: blame prom
Girf
steel 25 dollars to 30
Girf Also,
Girf Data,
Girf were you aware of the pac man in the new default background
steel sry grif you cant blame a person with add and dislexiya
steel yes
steel oh
steel you asked data
10:07 Data heh no, prom likes to put littel things like that in
Data where is the pac man?
steel put a ghost in there also
Alenth What does ADD have to do with grammar.
Electroclan not to be like an annoying yippy reporter, but 'Data, how moddable will the final game be? Will it have online multiplayer?'
Gwen5640 25-30,
Girf Data:
Gwen5640 but my dad wont let me buy it
steel well i just dont pay attention to what people are saying around me
Gwen5640 so ill steal one off thanatos
Gwen5640
Gwen5640 he'll be buying 2
Gwen5640 >.<
10:08 Data it will be at least as moddable as the test builds, a more easily so considering the new editors.
steel im to buysy paying 304 a month for admin on my css server
Data there is no plan for networked play for the feature complete version
steel 30$
Alenth Blockland was 20, but that's a different genre
steel block land sucks
Alenth lolwut
Cinos Must we wait for Cortex Command 2: Electric Boogaloo?
Data maybe there will be a CC Online or something latter
Electroclan D: CC online would be awesome to epic proportions.
steel go to roblox.com
Alenth tell that the the like thousand people that bought it
Alenth HAHA
Girf Err

Alenth XD
Girf Wow

Alenth sorry I like being able to build things
Girf Data, I can't seem to find the actual background file Grasslands uses
Alenth and having a decent community
Alenth of college students
Data however, we are not going to promise that the commercial version will be backwards mod compatible with test build mods
steel and u can create your own house or building to a city
Girf That's fine
Electroclan No problem there.
Alenth steel, how many bricks can it handle
Data it's not going to be wildly different, but we can't be hindered by old properties etc
10:10 Girf Oh, wait
steel depends on how well ur computer is
Alenth on an "average" computer
Girf Data: Base.rte/Scenes/Backdrops/Middle.bmp
Alenth or rather
steel go to roblox.com right now and check it out
Electroclan Well, that's good. me and IWCY won't have to update the tuts as much.
Girf For the pacman, that is
Alenth not till you answer some basic questions fanboy
steel me?
Data haha i never saw that
Data cool
Data prom rocks
Girf Indeed.
10:11 Alenth I love how roblox players avoid all my questions or ignore them
Cinos Guys, that pacman has been there for a long time
steel ask some questions
Electroclan I played roblox once... laggy.
Alenth it's like nixon politics
steel lol
steel nixon
steel reminds me of the futurama episode
10:12 Electroclan Do not taunt alllennthh
steel im not taunting
Alenth How many bricks could an average computer handle, what sort of "physics", average age/iq/whatever of community, extent of modability
Girf Can we get back to freaking CC here?
steel i have no idea and i will try to awnser that question
10:13 steel about 1000 blocks or 600
Alenth omg I lol'd
steel physix
steel no idea
Alenth how the hell do you make a city of 100 bricks
Alenth 1000*
steel i said 600-100
steel 1000
Electroclan Alright, how different will the campaign be compared to skirmish?
Cinos OH HEY I REMEMBER THIS GAME CALLED CORTEX COMMAND
Alenth sorry the difference between 1000 and 100 is so small I messed up
Cinos Oh wait already back on topic
Electroclan Will it be like Destory enemy brain A.. or..
steel so u played it cinos?
Electroclan destroy*
10:14 Alenth there are "low-lag" builds in blockland with 30,000 bricks
Electroclan Or will it be like capture outpost this and set up bunker and hold off that
steel alenitsh*
Cinos Steal the enemy brain's porn collection
Cinos That will stop 'em
Electroclan Dastardly. D:
Data electro, there will be many different scenarios
steel does blockland have physics
Alenth for what needs physics
Data some standalone, but most will be tied together in a story
steel lotto games
Electroclan Awesome.
Data which unfolds in a metagame
10:15 Data the metagame is where you see the planet
steel lol packman with physics
Girf Oh sweet
Alenth everything that needs physics has physics is what I meant
steel ok spore
steel now theres a game
Girf The location code in Scenes might actually do something?
Data and get to pick from several different locations to visit
Data right
Electroclan Pick on a planet GUI?
Cinos What about actors with actors for legs?
Electroclan So you can replay missions?
Electroclan *scenarios*
10:16 steel hmmmm data
Data well, you can replay them later in the skirmish mode if you want and have unlocked them
steel your space idea is good
Girf Alright
Data or relplay the campaign
Gwen5640 night all
Girf Sounds good
Electroclan I can't wait.
Girf night Gwen
steel now when your on the planet it would be like risk
Data but you'll have some freedom to play the missions in certain orders
Gwen5640 <3 grif.
10:17 Data it will likely be a view of the planet, and dots where you can go next
steel take it over country by country
steel yeah
Electroclan When is this igf or whatsits conference? And when will the discount build be offered?
<- Gwen5640 has disconnected (Quit: CGI:IRC (EOF))
Girf Data, any words on storyline?
steel and you can upgrade
Girf Electroclan:
Cinos Hey, did the planet ever get a name?
Alenth indie gaming conference
Girf See: Alenth
Electroclan Yes.
Alenth BL was there last year
Electroclan WHEN
Alenth so was AoT
Girf As was CC
steel data have any place where i can put my ideas down to share with you?
Alenth I remember conference goes being online
10:18 Girf steel: Hmm, maybe that whole,
Alenth it was lul
Girf Data realms fan forums thing?
Alenth XD
Data you'll start out with just missions to establish mining bases
Cinos Steel, your ideas are terrible
Cinos Even the fish one
Cinos Especially the fish one
steel the fish one?
Girf /kick #drlchat steel gtfo
steel what the hell is this fish
Electroclan So the campaign will be much like the gaming cycle.
10:19 Electroclan atasblish camps, egtg old, fight.. wars?
Electroclan get*
Cinos Will actors be able to get back into rockets?
Girf Or dropships.
Girf Or "other vehicles'
Data your mining bases will make money for you each round of the metagame
Electroclan gold*
Girf Oh, I get it
Data but they can be attacked
Girf Sort of
Electroclan
Girf Cool
Cinos
Alenth turn based...
Alenth hm
Girf Global turn based RTS of sorts
Electroclan And the 'Cease Fire' option, will this be an opportunity to mine gold and salvage weapons?
10:20 Data so you can choose to defend them or rely on the brain you sent down there to take care of the defense for you
Cinos Or a white flag?
Electroclan Will the next build fix the weird activities.ini?
Alenth @ data how does it roll for automated defense, and I thought you were using computers for automated things and the brain for what you are actually doing manually
10:21 Girf Alenth: Bringing in allied settlers?
Girf Aren't all the brains settlers?
Data alenth, we're figuring it out, but it looks like we're going to have a brain down at each base as an 'employee' of your mining corporation
Alenth ok
steel how is CC gonna start out on campain?
Girf Steel.
10:22 Alenth becuase talking to promo a couple weeks ago gave me some ideas
Alenth about the plan
Data each brain can also have a CPU box which actually runs all the other guys who are not directly controlled by the brain
Girf Campaign starts with you building mining bases
Alenth there's that idea
steel well im sry
steel ok
Alenth steel are you just not paying any attention
Data so if the cpu box gets nailed, your ai guys will grind to a halt
Alenth or are you trolling
Alenth yeah promo told us that data
steel i was in forums
Data and you'll have to send for a new one quick or do everything manually
Electroclan Heyy, that's awesome.
10:23 Girf steel: Scroll up.
steel lookin around so sry
Cinos Cool beans
Alenth ^
Girf Crap
steel did u cover things about upgrades
Alenth Type out your words, it's not a race for chrissakes.
Data i gotto get back to work here
Electroclan upgrades..?
Cinos Data, the world needs more dropships with one engine rolling over everybody
<- steel was kicked from drlchat by Girf (Reason: Good lord, get the hell out)
Electroclan Bye data.
Cinos oh
Alenth at 10:23?
Cinos bye
Girf Bye Data
10:24 Alenth data likes to work nights
Girf Alenth: On CC, methinks
Cinos Thanks for answering our stupid questions
Data yes, my work is cc
Girf Indeed.
Alenth what's your day job
Data thanks for the input
Alenth >
Data cc is my job job
Girf Not at all, Data
Electroclan Wish you luck at the conference!
Alenth ah
Girf Definitely buying a copy then.
Data that's why we need to make money off it
Alenth data I shoudl go up to phoenix some time and beat you up in Brain vs Brain :3
10:25 Girf
Data or it's back to regular jobs for both me and prom
Girf On that 1337 projector setup
Cinos Anyway, I think that dropships should wear big cowboy hats. Someone mod that in.
Alenth XD
Electroclan Arizona? Man i loved arizona, shame i'ms tuck in florida.
Alenth Tucson winar
Girf California's kinda near arizona
Girf Sort of
Girf

Girf Make it show what weapon you have equipped
Girf Oh
Alenth it's really annoying to play CC on a laptop
Girf Nevermind then
Electroclan Well, i didn't know that you could hold right click and use the mouse to select, I was using keys..
Girf I actually don't have any other complaints
10:27 Data i'm working on making the key-only use of the menu smoother
Electroclan I like it.
Girf I like it as is, it just took getting used to
Alenth also : when you try to use classic, w does look up AND jetpack, despite l being the key that should do jetpack
Girf And I play keyboard only
Cinos I always use the keyboard because I'm old or something
Data oh
Cinos OH YEAH KEYBOARD BUDDIES
Girf HIGH FIVES CINOS
Girf I USE Y + U TOO
Data alenth, tried clearing the control config to fix that?
Alenth I would play keyboard only if it weren;t gor w being a gay little double command
Alenth I could manually edit settings
10:28 Alenth just saying
Girf Alenth, remapabble controls, amirite
Alenth it breaks
Alenth no
Girf Mine doesn't do that.
Alenth you can't remap the ones that conflict
Data did you try using the clear button?
Alenth clear...?
Data because it isn't doing that here atm
Alenth I only play CC every other week or so
Data yes there's a big shiny button under the config button
Alenth I think I remember it
Girf Lol
Data hit that twice and set up your controls again
Data should work
Girf Shiny.
Girf Oh, yeah, Data
10:29 Electroclan Updated gib diagram.. http://img254.imageshack.us/img254/6069 ... atepl1.gif
Cinos Hey data I need to know who owns the keyboard in the loading screen
Alenth but I also recall that the only controls set in config being switching and moving
Girf There's some kind of hardcode controlling the menu items, isn't there.
Alenth for some reason you left out half the configurability
Girf Alenth:
Girf You're in mouse + keyboard
Girf If it's like that
Alenth no I set it to
Alenth keyboard
Alenth classic
Girf Classc Keyboard?
Alenth and still only let me set a few things
Girf It has full mappability for all controls
10:30 Alenth uh-huh
Girf At least in my versions.
Data electro: the ships will gib a lot more, working on that tonight too
Cinos Data, who's keyboard is pictured in the loading screen?
Cinos Buckling-spring
Alenth I don't know, I'm just here to be better at CC modding that yall, I don't really play the game
Electroclan wha? Oh cool.
Data cinos, no idea; it's from google images
Girf Alenth: XD
Girf Data, waaah
Cinos Now I know the terrible keyboard secret!
Alenth and my mother is getting angry with me
Girf You ruined my attempt at making the campaign button clickable
Data loading screen will change, it's outdated
Alenth g'night

Post Re: Data IRC Log
Some important points from the log:

    A discount price test build will be offered. While not the full version with incomplete features, buying the discount version also nets you the future full version for free. I think.

    Campaign is hinted at having an overall planet GUI in which you select different scenarios. The beginning of the campaign will have you setting up mining bases to fund your future conflicts. You will have to defend these mining areas; Either by manually holding off the enemy, or having the brain you sent try to do it itself. Every 'round' these bases will earn you cash.

    Pie menus will be tweaked and updated, ships will gib alot prettier.

    Data is an insomniac.

    Roblox has physics.

19$?

Which would only be £15-ish for me. Horray for exchange rate.

personally I don't see the point in making it buy able until complete, as I don't see how the licence would carry on unless an update feature gets implemented
however I would pay £30 max for it, BUT I'M 15 :( *cry* and i don't think my dad would buy it from a small... 1 time developer

So basically, if we buy test build 19, we pay less for whatever the final version is as we only have to get a key?
Shweet.

There better be a serious features upgrade for Build 19, then, or you're going to get a huge bunch of people who aren't going to upgrade.

Mmhm.
I'm really excited, but I'm also hoping that CC would come to stores, but that involves mass production, and that involves slaves in Micronesia.
