Future of Development

[Fusah 473]

Hai all, 

Due to my recent lack of activity @TheCmdrRex will be moved up to lead developer with me. Over the next coming days, he will be taught to do everything pertaining to server maintenance/administration and will have the same level of access as me. This is not a temporary position or anything and he will be the sole lead in the coming months. As to leave Olympus in good hands once everything is sorted out with the position and team as a whole I will be stepping down permanently. This is just a heads up on what's to come. Rex should be making a post on what he plans to do with the role soon, congratulations rex!

We still have @Blizzix and @DashTonic and the newest addition to the team @Phunky does this as his day job with years of experience in game development. We're in very good hands.

I just wanted to clarify to some extent. We currently have four developers - Rex, Dash, Phunky, and myself. Many people are aware that there are multiple sides of development depending on the specific skill of said developer. While Rex primarily handles the Arma side of things with the help of Dash - they are considered Arma developers (who work with SQF). It is pretty obvious what they do as it is what everyone interacts with every time they log into the Arma servers. That being said, a lot of people are unclear what Phunky and myself do as the key phrase they hear is "web development". Now, while to an extent this is true - we do "web development", it may not be exactly what you expect.

The things we develop are commonly not seen or used by the public or are not yet ready to be released to the public. Additionally, we don't work on the forums as that is something that was developed by a company and is a commercial product. Things that we actually work on usually involve tools that staff or the factions can use to improve their operations. One example was an application @Phunky made which allowed staff to handle tickets more effectively by saving them time using more modern methods. Or things that add to the quality of life to everyone as a whole such as the discord bot that I made which displays statistics from in-game to our discord server. There are a handful of proof of concepts that have also been made that may arise in the future.

Currently, my closing remark is even though most of the stuff Phunky and I work on is not made very public it still benefits the community greatly even if its not realized. Also, our tasks are not limited to web or discord development as taco mentioned, that is just the easiest way to explain what we do without having something to actually show you. Keep in mind that our knowledge is not limited to just web or just discord development, just not sqf for multiple reasons. In conclusion, we do a lot more than on the surface and hopefully over the coming months everyone will come to realize that, it is just hard to notice something without seeing it.

After typing this, I realize there should be more definition provided to the community on how the development team actually operates and that is a conversation that will be addressed at a later date. Once things start to settle down, there will be more clarification but we just need to get our ducks in a row first. Things take time. I would also like to add the fact that somethings Phunky and I work on are long-term projects that take weeks if not a few months at a time to be completed (most of the time this is the case where we have multiple of these projects on the backlog) so just be patient.

Feel free to send me a message if you have any questions.
