This isn't really a question anyone can "answer" for you. Depends on what's relevant to the game or thing in question. It's your OT, do what you want :)I wasn't sure where to ask this. I've never had an OT roll over to OT2 before. Is it basically just copying/pasting the old OT into a new one once the OT1 has passed 200 pages? Maybe with some newer info if needed?
yeah like moon said you can do whatever you want. for the sekiro OT for example. i copy pasted the first one for the second, but i also added a beginners tips section. you generally want to make up a new OT title though :pI wasn't sure where to ask this.

Thanks for the tips! I'll think about whatever might need updating as I gear up for OT2. The new title is the only thing I have decided on so far.This isn't really a question anyone can "answer" for you. Depends on what's relevant to the game or thing in question. It's your OT, do what you want :)
Oh boy, Hype!
Thought it'd be a nice way to warm up my OT designs in 2020. I have some titles in the latter half of the year I really want to do OTs for but I'll try to get claims for those after E3 probably. I literally have a 5 page document now filled with ideas ranging from animations to just cool layout designs for OTs that I want to try out this year.

If somebody has already claimed an OT that you also wanted to work on, collaborate with each other. Claiming an OT is not a race to be first to exclude others. Collaboration is mandatory if multiple people want to work on an OT! This is not first come first served! Claiming is about preventing two people wasting their time making dueling threads, it's not about excluding others.
Thanks, that's a really good point. I'm sure some of the titles I have my eyes on for later this year (which don't have firm release dates yet) will grab the attention of other OT creators too so I can totally see some of those being collaborative efforts.
Well that's how people learn communication and teamworking skills :)Hypothetically speaking, could there potentially be a limit to the amount of people collaborating on an OT? I can't image that, for instance, six or seven people all claiming the same OT and collaborating on it would form the most cohesive thread (not saying that's ever happened, nor is it likely to). If I'm not mistaken, the purpose of an OT's main post is to convey the necessary product information in an easily digestible format, and that could potentially get a bit messy, the more chefs that are in the kitchen. I'm just asking out of curiosity, really.
This is a good point. I work in the creative industry and sometimes working collaboratively you realise there's either not enough for everyone to do or too many competing voices and the final product becomes incoherent to a degree. I'd almost say whoever gets the claim first is almost like the creative director and has the initial say while anyone wanting to collaborate can help with design, writing and formatting, following the original claimers OT flow if they have made one.Hypothetically speaking, could there potentially be a limit to the amount of people collaborating on an OT?

imo that flies in the face of the goal to avoid a race to post a claim. Could lead to an "I was first, so I have the final say" scenarios. I feel this is something that should be decided on a case-by-case basis among those in the pool, whoever has the strongest pitch. Like, if you come in with an idea you've mulled over in your head already for weeks etc then you'll probably have an easier time to convince someone who just claimed it without much thought to support your idea and follow that direction.This is a good point.

Yeah very true, I'm also not trying to say that the first person to claim should have full creative control but they may have more a vision if the person wanting to collaborate comes in a few weeks or months after the original claim was put in. What you said about it being case-by-case is totally right. I also think some people are more open to collaboration than others so that will always be a challenge for some. I know that when I got into the TV/Film industry in my early 20's it was really tough to collaborate with a large team - now I love it. Often, working in a vacuum is worse for the final product so having people around to help or even just give feedback is vital.imo that flies in the face of the goal to avoid a race to post a claim.

It's not like Mods are watching your page count waiting to snipe it with a lock^^One more question about OT2:
Are you expected to throw OT2 up instantly as soon as the OT hits 200 pages or is there a page or two grace period in which to do it?
Not really sure if this is the right place to ask, but I'll just have a go. Hi there IDontBeatGames, hyped for your Dreams OT and the full release in Februrary. I shared an idea earlier today in the Playstation thread, wondering if people were supportive of the idea to create a Resetera Community Creations OT for Dreams. I think the stuff that has already been done in Early Access is phenomenal and should have more space on this site. The OT will be a great place for this, I guess. So many amazing creation fly very much under the radar on ERA now but this should change once Dreams has officially released and receives an OT.
But then, there might be quite a few users like me who have started to dig deeper into the tools and might want a place for some more exchange on creating stuff in Dreams here on ERA. Not sure whether a hangout would be suitable or if we can create a thread in the main gaming section. Anyway, let me know what you think, I'm not sure games usually receive more than one OT, which is why I'm asking.
(Also, for creation tutorials it might be cool to link YouTubers like NeonTheCoder or LadylexUK in the OT. They've helped a lot)
After some discussion it's been decided that the torch of this thread shall be passed to me. I'll do my absolute best to make something beautiful.
