Recommended Status Quo

The state in which expectations exist is known as the status quo. For example, if a person expects to pay 14% of their income away to taxes, the remaining 86% becomes the status quo of net income. When that changes, it disrupts the status quo and can cause possibly volatile results.

The solution would be to advertise or announce a recommended status quo, or RSQ. This dynamic works to set expectations at a specific level while allowing for that volatile range of results. For example, the RSQ for net income could be 75%. This allows for the majority to pay less taxes than they expect to, and for a smaller number of specific cases to pay more.

Timers

Ive been learning about the different methods in java to control game speed, otherwise calculated as FPS, UPS, or time in milli or nanoseconds between passes through code. These methods are the swing, util, J3D, and custom timers. The problem I see is that they use the computer's clock in combination with the runtime queue, so the time between passes is consistently variable. This happens because of the individual computer's speed. So the obvious solution is to force the program to update at minimum and maximum intervals of time. While I'm researching this, let's just say between 2 and 20 milliseconds per update.

Website Update

So ive been doing a bit with kyncreations.com. I added a bunch more concept art and the next step will be to add some code to browse left and right through the images. Im still weary about adding more iteration, but im thinking of adding a couple pages explaining some of the concepts in greater detail.

Ive been told that making a game is 95% execution, but I still believe that is an oversimplified idea, and that an established team, capable of execution, could still take someone elses idea without definitive legal consequence.

That being said, their end product would likely be much different than my end product. Still, the idea that I would create competition for myself simply by posting my ideas is going to keep me from doing so.

The alternative is to summarize details to the point where they only vaguely describe the experience someone would expect from playing the game.

Considering this kind of publicity could be left out entirely, I feel like this option of attempting to build a customer base before even having a finished product belittles the time spent working on the product. An aversion at best, a website only diffuses ideas when those ideas have a foundation of real-life support.
