Hi,
I am definitly not the only one contributing here. I may have gone a bit crazy here and there I agree
You also need to be aware that HutongGames is contracting me to provide support and content to you guys, this is important to realize this to help you understand HutongGames is heavily injecting money back into support.
Two things to improve the situation:
- Small contribution: a simple humble custom action goes a long way, and I guarantee you'll get your time investment back one way or the other. Embrace sharing your knowledge, this is your best portfolio to approach clients, when they can see how you contribute to help others achieve their dream. It's a personal achievment, but also a great skill that clients always seek.
- When you work on a project involving PlayMaker, always try to make an agreement with the client that custom actions goes back to the Community for free, this is important, and 100% of my projects goes with this agreement. Everyone has interests in this, even the client, because things gets done quicker if the custom actions database grows.
As for the trello board. I think it's a great medium to understand the huge workload, indeed it takes time. As members of this community, your role is to contact the asset publishers themselves and motivate them to support PlayMaker. We have lots of publishers getting back to us to help them support PlayMaker, so this dynamic is very important. PlayMaker and its community can not on its own satisfy everything. It was possible few years ago, but now it reached a point where it's not possible anymore. It's a great problem to have in a way, but still without any real practical solution as far as I can see. Ideas welcome on that front!
Bye,
Jean
