A suggestion super list suggestion
« on: September 25, 2009, 09:01:27 am »

Just something I've been wanting to suggest. Whenever an idea is suggested (like the gang system) it eventually melts away into the background and new people to the forum, such as myself, will only know about them by chance or if someone working on that feature makes a release. My suggestion is just to have a big list pinned with everything in it. It would be divided into a few sub lists based on its current status along with any useful links. Hopefully this will prevent thread clones and entice any new comers to LCS to stick around. For example:

Future release features - Features Jonathan has said will be included in future releases.

Other release's features - For other versions of the game. I believe someone is working on a Stalinist Crime Squad. Things like that would go here.

Community wish list - What the community wants to see in the game and has agreed either by vote or with a general consensus.

In discussion - Ideas that haven't been rejected but are still in discussion about how to balance etc.

Rejected ideas - Ideas that are deemed to unbalance the game to much or not fitting in within the context of the game. Or are retarded.

Rejected but has interest - Ideas that are wanted but can't seem to fit into the main game. If a fix is found it can be put into the in discussion list. A good place for ideas for other releases.

I'd be happy to make and maintain the list myself. If someone could help me by providing links to relevant threads or can provide information directly then it would speed the process up.
Any thoughts?

You'd want to lock it so as to limit the size, and use a seperate topic for suggestions.

Do realize you'll have to fight off those people with factially identical but different-worded ideas.  Just want you to know what you're signing up to do.

Yeah, the limit is 40,000 characters.  Discovered that while writing my story.

Agree, plus that's about the LAST thing *I* want to see from this kind of game - author spending valuable development time on useless graphics.

@ Funk, ??? I think your posting in the wrong place.

I've started compiling a list of all the ideas in the forum. It's taking ages! More than a few come with a massive text wall. I'll post an example list here for everyone to have a look before making the "real" one.

I think I've managed to find a good chunk of all the suggestions out there. These are in no particular order right now. I'll sort them all into different lists later. I've included links to a few of them if they have a text wall, good description, are a list of different ideas etc. There will likely be spelling errors.

Any chance of you expanding on that Kotor? I'm not sure what your saying yes to.

I always just found it peculiar that the police are always able to pin the crime on you 100 percent of the time. The fact that organized crime rings exist at all without being bombed to hell by the national guard is evidence enough that this is not strictly the case in reality.

There IS a Sourceforge feature requests tracker.
http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?group_id=198808&atid=966962

Dunno if its suited for this and easy to browse, but it exists and we can use it.  At the very least we should start using the bug tracker, or else track all the reported bugs somehow as well.
