Tossing the Prime Directive right out the window

So I have been working on the sprites for the main characters, which is something we've been putting off because building sprites is such a fantastically tedious pain in the ass. However, we must press on. Next is working on combat roles and each character's unique abilities and weaponry, which I am looking forward too even less than the sprites.

However, I should not be bitching. The sprites are coming along well and we are close to being in the final phases of work for the demo, which is also going to serve us as a model for the rest of the game, so that's good. We're also going back and overhauling the outline of the Gobbler's Knob chapter and making sure that all of the events and crap that we've scripted flow together and make sense and just feel right as far as story and pacing are concerned.

In other news, we bought some hamburgers and right now there are some ghosts in the kitchen cooking them for us while we sit back here in the office and toil, which is highly convenient if not fairly creepy.

I've been done with DS9 for a few weeks so it is onto voyager, which may as well be called 'Star Trek: Ship of Bozos*'. It's just amazing how often this crew manages to just fuck everything up beyond belief.

Okay, stay tuned. We're working.

Hey, I still like Voyager. The series finale was pretty damn good, too. (doesn't hold a candle to TNG's series finally, though. That was better than the movies!)

Oh, don't get me wrong, Voyager is great, it's just that when you are watching several episodes a day for several days in a row, especially with other ST stuff fresh in the mind, it becomes obvious that Voyager's (admittedly rag-tag) crew is the biggest bunch of bumbling space goons to ever have their adventures chronicled. It's a different kind of Star Trek, way sillier than anything earlier, and it's awesome for that exact reason.

I just finished TNG a few hours ago! I was never a trek fan growing up but I'm heavy into it now.

I have to get them downloaded first :P I didn't expect to enjoy ST so much when I first got TNG. So DS9 is next in line? Doesn't ST:Enterprise take place in the time period before TNG? I thought it might be a good idea to watch that first?

Bro, I am going to give you one of the most important pieces of advice that you are likely to ever receive.

DO NOT WATCH ENTERPRISE.

Seriously, especially now that you are just getting into the franchise. You can watch it when you have watched absolutely everything else and are feeling like you just NEED more star trek and it'll prolly be a dark and lonely night and y'll know that it's time. However, if you watch it now, it could potentially ruin star trek for you entirely. It is bad, boring, poorly written and the characters are so thoroughly bland that I honestly could not tell you the name of a single main character on that show. So I advise you to hold off on Enterprise.

To answer yr questions, Enterprise takes place earlier than anything else in star trek, and other than the new movie, it's the most recently produced. As a prequel that takes place so much earlier than everything else, it almost can't even help how much it breaks cannon and fucks up the timeline. It's also just really early-2000s and trying to be edgy and sexy and, as its most damning offense, just does not feel like star trek.

Anyway, DS9 picks up right after TNG and has O'Brien and eventually Worf and has a ferengi in the main cast and is just completely awesome.

If you can get past the horrid opening music, and ignore the overall plot, and some of the characters, and...other stuff... Enterprise is an interesting look at the early years of Starfleet, and the earlier takes on the technologies.

HAHA ok, I'll take your advice and save Enterprise for last. I'd probably agree with Kentona though, I'll enjoy it for the early look at the technologies.
