its no longer on the projects section, and i don remember a front page news post about it being thrown away.
i do remember that production was at a halt because of the bugs of moo servers or moo or something. and i might possibly be delusional but i remember adam quitting on the graphics side. (i think im delsusional)
but yeah, wtf mate?

I think your delusional. What daily click game?

Lol, you can't ever put a massive clickers together to make a big game. If they ever stop fighting and choose a leader, that leader is in a rut on how to control an untrained, unprofessional group, that works only in their spare time. And the more people you have on the project, the more people will disagree with any direction it's going.
In other words, there will never be a Daily Click game. Prove me wrong

well the team that was working on it, clubsoft adam rikus flava (i think) and maybe one or 2 others? is a pretty well put together team and i never heard anything from them about disagreements. the game was actually very far along if i remember correctly. movement was getting pretty solid, chat looked like it worked ok, graphic style (adam) was fantastic, the only thing was something to do with when we started having those major server problems and we changed over to a better (very expensive) host, and the moo server wouldnt work or something. if anyone on that team could shed some light as to what decidedly ended it that would be great.
the only problem i see with having a small team is that it most likely wont be anyone with access to the server and database. admins have their hands pretty full with life and this site, and a regular user should not be given any kind of access to the tdc database.
the only way i could see this getting done is if one admin one coder and one artist worked on it full time.
i'd recommend nick adam and either flava or clubsoft as a team.
i remember when the first tdc game was being made. now THAT team was friggin huge and there was NOTHING but arguments. this recent one was viable and capable of being completed and it just vanished. thats just kind of disappointing.
Was it an actual game though? From what I saw it was little more than an interactive chatroom with the plan that you could build your own house or something? So long ago that I can't remember it all that well
Yea, that was about it. We were talking about using dockable games so that we could make the games for it, which would speed up dev time. Or maybe I dreamed that. O_o
Well there were mayor movement issues that could not be resolved quickly, also the building your own house thing prooved to be a tad to complicated.
The last semi-news on it is that me and flava have been talkin about, is that we scratched the whole build it yourself thing or interactive games etc and just focus on getting a interactive graphical chat running first and release that. The graphics are there, once flava has some more time prob this summer he will continue work on coding the thing, movement wise we fixed it by using a square type of movement to it were you would just move from invisible squares to move around, this solves the "lag issue" straight of the bad while not the perfect solution it works.
So what is working right now:
Login system tied to your dc username
Graphics with cool animated emotions that you can have your character do life in the game.
Chat box and typing now work, others see your reply in both a cool comic style box above the characters head and in a chat box.
The chat box has the abbility to show your avatar
--That leaves the movement, it is being worked on but will prob not be finished until this summer, but the project is not dead, me and flava would not let it perrish with so many working things already in place
Be sure to follow us on the twitters for the latest and greatest: @dailyclick
well thats better knews than i expected! i thought it was just gone for good lol.
i never really thought the build your own room thing was necessary. it was initially just supposed to be a chat app for dc where you could walk around n stuff. this is good news

TDC is too contentious currently to get any serious work done collectively, per example here. When others start respecting each other on the forums, a game like this might be possible.

Guys, don't attack Adam. It's hardly ever the graphics guy's fault for a project dying out. Adam wasn't much of a prick back then, anyway
Peblo's got a point.
Admin Note As Per DC-Forum rules do not assume, calling a dc user a prick intentionally or not is not allowed especially by the admin team.

To be honest no one apart from myself, Rikus and Flava had any input on the daily Click game last time I looked, so I dunno why people seem to be getting involved now, or judging the work we put into it. And Muz, I'd love to say the same for you but I think you were born that way. With comments like that god knows why you're an admin on this site. It's like leaving Nasa to be ran by chimpanzees.
gah! children please. id hate to have my own thread locked. rikus and adam answered my questions.
if the game eventually does die out, so be it. but for now be happy rikus and flava are trying not to let it die. hopefully this summer will be a productive one. if the game gets near completion and it doesnt have any new graphics i would love to see some top quality adam style graphics in there.
Lol, Adam, I kid! Don't take it so harshly. Forgive me for any offense.

I always thought the whole creating houses was a bit too much. Start off with something simple and build from there. Especially with the situation being as it is, a long distance project... Rather than debate where to point the finger people should be brain storming different gameplay features that would be easy to implement online.
