	GGS is dead Support Apolyton

Maybe you all should check out their site. Learn something from it? Pick up some volunteers? Interestingly enough they mentioned all the other happening civ projects but not Candy.

GGS?

	Support Apolyton, buy Alpha Centauri

Guns, Germs and Steel.

It looks to me that GGS had no coding/programming team, just some people with ideas. Ideas are good and all, but I think CB is already more developed as far as an official coding team and actual game programming.

Maybe they have some extra artists, though... you can't have enough of them

Actually, we did, but the coding discussions (which, unfortunately, didn't produce much by way of code. UI framework and lots of software architecture schemes, that's it) were conducted via mailing lists so it wasn't visible at Apolyton.

Sure ways to kill a project (IMHO):

1) Lack of motivation to do the dirty work.
2) Not knowing what you really want, or not being able to communicate it with the rest of the team/community

Candle'Bre seems to at least avoid these two hurdles, so good luck.

EDIT: Oh, about GGS website... the last time it was updated was maybe a year or two before Candle'Bre. I guess I should get up and delete the damn thing someday, didn't realize people still actually bump into it these days...

Fair enough. I can't say I really monitored GGS, for the most part since I didn't start reading the book until a few weeks ago.

Thanks. Does anybody on the GGS team want to help out?
