Notes from Phaera chat meeting

Tue Jul 4, 2006, 3:53 AM
Welcome to Project Phaera!

:bulletblue:We are curently in Phase 2. During this time The Writing Team will continue writing the bases of this galaxy (this includes History, Planets Naming, Solar Systems Naming, Sectors, Races, Characters and so on) while the Landscape and Spacescape Teams will design the planets and solar systems.

[News and Announcements]


@ 4/07/2006 So the first chat session is over; Sadly, few people attended and I'm really curious to find out why since we hosted it all night long. Anyway, here are the topics of discussion, and what was said of them, for the rest of you:

1. Star systems.

We are looking for a round about another 50 or so star systems to fill Phaera. This means that the writing team should get writing, and fill the outer regions of the galaxy up.

2. Alliances

~spirit-fall and ~transferal have talked a little bit about alliances, not too much, but just enough for a rough baseline.

Yes, there will be alliances between planets/races, and there willl also be some hostile races.

At the moment there is no solid direction that we've taken the alliances. However, completely random alliances shouldn't be made, that would just be unrealistic.

Hostile territories can be created, but we'd rather that not everyone does so, otherwise we will end up with Phaera being overrun by them.

3. Collaborations

I will get a list of people who are willing to do collaborations, and post the list here.

As a second suggestion though, you could note everyone in the desired group (writers, spacescapes, etc) just asking them if they would collab with you.

4. Concept Artist

~Valatar has agreed to be the concept artist until someone else has been found.

~Valatars tools: Photoshop CS, Painter Essentials, and Wacom Graphire 4 tablet
~Valatars Skills: Doesn't have too many traditional skills, and has basic nebula skills

Anyone that wishes to become a Concept Artist should tell us their tools and skills, so that we can let people know. Thanks

5. WIPs

This was brought up by Valatar, but will be accountable to others aswell.

Any WIPs that are done, you can post them on CGS (CG Society) for help. BUT, please say that it is for Phaera so that there aren't any conflicts.



Big thanks to =Nameless-Designer , ~BPauba , ~outeq , ~Valatar, and *BetulaNigra, who all made an effort and turned up to this session.

Another session will be planned for the future, and we expect more of you to turn up.


@ 25/06/2006 Liam ~spirit-fall and Chris ~transferal are looking for some concept artists to help them with the technical documentation for Phase II. They're currently working out the 'look' of many of the physical aspects of Phaeran daily life (travel, communications, technology), and they'd appreciate a talented bunch of artists to help them with that. It's all well and good to have a thirty-thousand word essay, but we all know a picture looks a hell of a lot nicer.
Please contact ~transferal or ~spirit-fall if you're interested; This is your chance to make a huge mark on Phaera!

It is sad that Project Phaera seems to have died. Is anyone still working on anything? It had such great promise... :(

It's a real shame because it started out strongly. There were lots of great ideas, but when it suddenly came time to produce images, it all seemed to fall apart.

Seems the writers did a very good job but visual side fell apart as you said. Actually, I was working on a couple of planets (meaning the writers job) but I did not manage to make them as good as I wanted them to be done... :salute:

It is a cruel mistress and does with me as it pleases.
I have delved a bit into the realm of science fiction and certainly enjoy say, Philip K. Dick's work and a bit of Larry Niven. Nothing substantial has come of it yet though.
