It would be nice if there was the ability for developers to have an area to share files with each other. For example, logos... Sound effects... Even footage. There might be times where a capture I did could benefit another developer. I could also see a lot more being done more quickly if there was a Machinima library available. |

Generally, people who do graphics/sound aren't called 'developers'; programmers are. Publishing any and all game-related media is a cool idea, though. That could also open up a can of worms, since people will start ripping each other's work, not crediting where credit is due, and using copyrighted material from within games/movies. It's not our job to enforce copyright (yay DMCA), but it's a concern nonetheless.

I purchase, or use public domain/CCL materials for my regular amateur film projects all the time. It would seem to me that any footage uploaded to the "directors library" would have to be copyright free (or requires the Creative Commons License), which would avoid that issue. It would also be a great place for directors to ask for help. Say someone has a huge project they are working on... And needed help doing captures from the WMV or something. They could post such a request and others (even fans) could jump in and help, then upload them to the directors library for use. Amateur Voice Actors could create an archive of common phrases and such for download, or use the site to share their recordings with directors (since at the moment, they tend to use rapidshare and other similar sites). Have an option where directors create projects where the footage, music, voice, etc. are stored on WeGame during the development process and are private to the director and whomever s/he designates as helpers. Everything is either deleted or moved to the "common library" once the project is done (completely up to the director, of course). |

A library of stuff for machinimators is a cool idea, but there's a lot of other things to do before it could even be considered...

Hmm... Okay, I thought this area was for suggestions and this site was for Machinamists... I guess I am on the wrong site, I apologize. I'll go elsewhere then. I don't want to stay where it's unfriendly and I'm unwelcome. |

Something I noticed about parts of the machinima community, they seem to forget there's a world outside of it. We're about gaming - machinima made from games falls under that umbrella but it's not the only kind of gaming video out there.

This forum isn't unfriendly and you aren't unwelcome, you just have the wrong idea about the focus of the site. I'm sure WeGame is more than happy to listen to input from Machinimists but don't think that the Machinima community has any more pull around here than anyone else.

I was asked to not bother the developers... And just so I understand... This site is not to support and promote Machinima...? It's just a YouTube for gamers... right? |
