Re: AOTV General Discussion - Pod 2 starting soon!
Quote:
I'm hesitant to add a formal "VC Review" step because while I welcome their opinions and feedback, they ultimately do not have oversight over this project (and I don't want us to stall out waiting for their feedback if they don't want to give it). The units should also be treated subtly differently than a normal VC release, as we've experienced when designing so far--I know that I've generally tuned my feedback on our units differently than I do for VC reviews. How do you feel about more directly asking for public feedback and thoughts on units right before the Final Review vote is made? We can specifically encourage VC members to offer their input as well in order to get their eyes on the units. Proud Member of Platyfly!

Re: AOTV General Discussion - Pod 2 starting soon!
That's a valid idea, and could help smooth the SoV process if/when we end up there.

I don't think we need anything binding from them and shouldn't give them a vote necessarily. Just something like the Inner Sanctum Review process where they can comment on it.

Re: AOTV General Discussion - Pod 2 starting soon!
I think most mechanical concerns/interactions would be covered in Scy’s gracious editing process. I think it would be good to have them look at the designs however and offer non-binding feedback.

Re: AOTV General Discussion - Pod 2 starting soon!
VC can comment for sure, but I think we shouldn’t force it even for SoV purposes. Those guys (and the ones who are already working on the AotV project) already have enough on their plate.
Plus, the goals are different for each project anyway (albeit similar). My customs. NE Ohio Tourney - TBA SW Ohio Tourney - NHSD 550 points AotV - Colliding the minis of AotP with the world of HS. |

Re: AOTV General Discussion - Pod 2 started already, P_K ;)
It looks like this discussion petered out a bit, but I think that it's worth some serious consideration for adding more formally into our process:
Quote:
Looking at our official process, I'd like to suggest that we amend it to insert a PUBLIC REVIEW PHASE with the following description: Quote:
Does anyone have any thoughts on this? The general consensus earlier seemed to be that this step felt like a good idea, so I think that we could definitely figure out an implementation that works for everyone. Proud Member of Platyfly!

Re: AOTV General Discussion - Pod 2 starting soon!
Yeah, I'm still on board for that idea. Would we run currently-in-playtesting units through it?

I mean we could, but most of the in-playtesting units are already well enough on their way. I personally don't want to route units all the way back. Plus, we still need an actual "base" set of units to base the rest of the designs off of. My customs.

I mean, I don't think there's that much bad with presenting the units as they exist with the caveat that they probably won't change overly much.

That said, I'd much rather hear about any gripes with them now, especially while we have the chance to address them. With the current proposal, we could stick to our guns anyway if there are only a few unpersuasive stray arguments. I don't see much harm in welcoming outsider feedback on the current set of testing units for a little bit, other than the weirdness of asking-for-feedback-but-saying-that-we're-unlikely-to-take-it (which is definitely weird, to be fair).

I'd definitely be interested in hearing more thoughts on this matter. If my pings were functional, I might toss a few out to get some more voices in here. Proud Member of Platyfly!

Re: AOTV General Discussion - Pod 2 starting soon!
The first quote says before Final Review (between steps 4 and 5) and the second one says the vote would be either forward to Editing or back to Design (steps 1&2). Where are you proposing it go?

Re: AOTV General Discussion - Pod 2 starting soon!
Sorry about the confusion; the first quote was just me reviving the topic. The latter quote is a more formal proposal for what the idea could look like--I think that it makes more sense to place a Public Review Phase after Design and before Editing to avoid spending time editing and testing a unit that the public just isn't feeling.
