A male korean voice (could you imagine progamer packs?!) would be really cool as well, but so would extra smix packs. It makes the experience a little cooler and more personal I think. And it's an easy way to add in customization (and possibly monetizing :p). Thanks for listening to suggestions, it's really cool of you, even if it's a small one like this. ^^ | ||

I've been so sucked up into Kerbal Space Program recently, but if there's one thing that can get me back into SC2, this is SC2Gears ! | ||

If you're more in a "i want to build my second son" mood then maybe not because you'll get feedback going in every direction possible, suggestions often backed by one or two persons and overall will doubt instead of just following your own idea. I'd say put the new one out, publish a feature comparison and a poll for each missing feature (want/dontwant + priority 1 to 4) and see how it goes. Build a nice webpage for that instead of TL polls. | ||

So basically incremental development. Yep, it would be nice to see a prototype so you can get feedback and then work on it if you want. | ||

It'd be great to have some way to make that easier, if possible both for the sender and receiver. Thanks for your work, love the current sc2gears.  | ||

Yes but not in the context of a team of professional and with the old/current software to keep in mind. Taking it a step further would be to build a plugin system and get the new software out on github ASAP and let the magic be done. People will build plugins and most popular plugins/features can then get packaged with the main release and other plugins can be downloaded from everywhere/the main website/something. I feel like it's not what the author wants to do, which i understand perfectly and respect, but don't agree that much with. There's good and bad points to either way (closed/one-man dev VS doors and windows open). | ||

Besides, open source for non-commercial product also sounds nice assuming the author doesn't want to make profit. | ||

This and... GG Tracker already exists, so you can gauge how successful a more "extreme" version of GG tracker would be based on their success, not very. | ||

With that said, I can't see anything 'secret' about this project, or any reason to keep it a secret. Can't help feel that the 'secret' in the thread title was to entice more people to read it (it worked). The secret referred to the previous state/stage of the application. There were hints to a secret project in the Sc2gears thread. | ||

There's good and bad points to either way (closed/one-man dev VS doors and windows open). Sc2gears has a quite advanced plugin system (advanced plugin API, plugin manager etc.) yet the 3rd party plugin development was quite inactive/precipitated/stagnated. The only exception is the MMR plugin. But fear not, I also plan / working on something similar in the successor which will support official built-in extensions with built-in installing and auto-updating (taking the required hassle out of the plugin's hands and out of the users' hands). Users of the successor will be able to install/enable official external plugins from within the application with the easiness of one click. | ||

Also I don't want to hide the fact that if possible, I'd like to make some profit. Even Sc2gears is much more than a hobby project, and with the successor I'd like to top Sc2gears in every way possible. | ||
