The art of over-promising!

BlogpostAuthor: CyclonesuePublished: Jun 05, 2007Views: 507

It's an art. My speciality: over-promise, then under-deliver; the antithesis of expensive advice given by business experts to wannabe consultants everywhere. "Promise it tomorrow but deliver it today to delight your customers and keep them coming back!" So, I expect I've caused the reverse effect of 'customer delight' by promising today, and delivering, well, some time within the next decade or so.... Just one over-promised and not-yet-delivered creation: gothic windows set...

And I've promised so many things! I have an offset corner column (I've borked the textures so this needs fixing), I have a new Fine Architecture set (I can't even remember what meshes come with that), I have a near-complete gothic stone window set (borked diagonal on the master means the whole set must be changed), I have a not-at-all complete sliding sci-fiesque door waiting for a diagonal, more colours and some windows, a pile of tyre meshes that need shaping into something and some screenshots, a wooden ceiling tile set (floor tiles that act as ceilings too) also needing screenshots, and the beginnings of some Pueblo-style building items barely even begun (you won't believe the scale of this project!). Oh, and I've also begun a Periscope (yes, really!) and some new building plinths (correct name 'buttresses' but I've got it wrong all along and see no reason why I should change this trend now) to match the Mediterranean wallpaper set. Of course, I intend to do all of these things [insert sound of hollow laughter here].

OO OO OO, did I hear "Pueblo style building items"??? I SO can't wait! The lack of this kind of content available to make my pueblo/southwest style buildings look authentic has driven me to explore, experiment and join the ranks of royally screwing up meshing. OOPS, did I say that outloud? Well off to try my hand at stretching an end post into column size. As I'm totally clueless how I expect I will just end up staring at Milkshape with my eyes glazing over! HA!

The Pueblo-style sounds great, I'm willing to wait no matter how much time you will need to finish it.
