Model Dibs
Posted: Sat May 04, 2013 1:08 am
Welcome to the dibs thread!
Feel free to use this thread to declare porting dibs! In general, we have no problem with porters porting the same model. If you love a game and want to port the models you love from that game, we believe nothing should stop you! So feel free to come in here and let everybody know what you want to work on and we will update the first post with your dibs.
To prevent hurting people's feelings in some cases, there are a few rules of thumb that we should all port by. These are not hard rules per se, but more or less thoughtful things we can all do to prevent people's feelings from getting hurt:
1. Dibs are for new games (for old games, just do whatever you want).
2. Friends should try their best to respect dibs.
3. When there is conflict, friends should try their best to compromise.
4. Try not to place dibs too soon. A week before a game's release date is good.
5. Try not to place dibs on too many models at once.
6. For popular games, try to place dibs on only one or two characters at a time. When finished, feel free to dib more.
Remember, you do not have to follow these rules. If you love a model, port it! We use this thread simply to make it easier to see what everyone will be working on and to avoid capable porters from wasting their time on the same models.
It would also be thoughtful to take note of both this thread and people's individual W.I.P. lists (most members have these linked in their signatures), that is, if you want to stay on friendly terms with your fellow members!!!
DeviantArt Account
When done with a port, if you would like your port to be placed onto the Sticklove DeviantArt account, with proper credit of course, simply PM one of the moderators. Let the moderator know what you want in the description and include a link to your personal DeviantArt account as well. We get a fairly good amount of traffic to the DeviantArt page and it is perfectly fine to include a link to your personal DeviantArt account in the description for your port. One or more moderators will check the quality of the port before posting to the DeviantArt account. If there are too many problems, they may ask you to fix them.
Good luck and have fun,
Your site admins and moderators
