I mean the 'Team Building' post was essentially 'we have a public discussion, and discuss as a team', nothing special about that. And using IM, e-mail, and forums isn't exactly anything to write home about either. --- "Overall, we don’t use any fancy silver-bullet solutions for our communication needs, we just apply what we already have, and use it to furnish our team environment." - To me, that's just naff sounding business speak and is a very long and complicated way of saying something simple. ie "We use what there already is". --- Let me get it clear though, I think MarkUp is very good magazine and some of the posts on the gmking.org blog are genuinely interesting, but I really don't like this style of pretentious self-publicising. Its something the Game Maker community can do without. --- Finally, why is this considered worthy to blog about? It isn't 'Gamemaker news, comment, discussion, opinion or community news'.
