Application live: Main Disc. Thread - Quintessence: Zero Point (Experimental) - #179 by SaintSovereign
Zero Point is the current name (subject to change) for a highly experimental, drastically different build that we’re currently developing based upon new research that we’ve conducted. Zero Point is currently NOT related to Q+ and Ultima+, which are extensions of the Q development line. It uses a framework that’s different from how we’ve built Q and may only be suitable for certain titles. Much is in the air, hence why we’re moving full speed ahead on developing an MVP (or two) to gauge initial results.
We don’t know if this test will be public or private. There’s pros and cons to each. We need exceptionally good data for this, without a bunch of weird conspiracies (like the “Qv2 works too well” mess that was spreading) interfering, so we’re leaning toward public results, but choosing testers based on their subliminal use / reporting history. We’ll also need strict adherence to the listening protocol, as it’s different than other build we’ve created.
We can’t answer too many questions yet about what we’re attempting to achieve with Zero Point (as we don’t want to set any expectations for testers), but I wanted to consolidate discussion on the topic here rather than my journal. Right now, the current question is which program should we use for the MVP test.
@SubliminalUser made a very compelling argument for Wanted here (please respond on THIS post, however), and @Fire is a fan of testing Ascension or Ascended Mogul, which seems to be the other most popular choice.
