- Yes, someone will have to co-ordinate the story construction, and
- make sure that everything fits together to make it all coherent, and to
- make sure that the levels fit together properly. But it seems a little
- early yet to worry about it. Perhaps we could ask who's interested in doing
- it now though. I would like to, but I won't have email access between the
- end of June and the beginning of October, so that hardly seems ideal.
-
- As for specific graphics for specific levels, that's no problem
- with the way the mailing list is organised. As someone comes up with an
- idea for a level and finds they need a certain graphic, they just have to
- post a message, and someone will be able to make it, post it back and off
- they go. Easy.
-
- It already looks like Bertrand's ftp site Artwork folder is going
- to be the initial archive for finding graphics, and that seems like quite a
- good way of organising that. You can view all of the textures, sprites etc
- in thumbnail form, and download the ones you want to use.
-
- Have another day.
