Well that depends on what we are trying to accomplish. Different things take longer, and coding is a mixed bag depending on how complicated the bugs are and you knowledge of tracking them down.

I guess I can comment on the amount of work I personally put in to Beta 3 since February 2008 would be about 5-8 hours per week prior to August 2008, then from 10-12 hours per week until mid December when I put about 30-40 hours a week (winter break) for release. Then we playtested and debugged the entire month of January for about 10 hours per week.

For B3.1 I put in about 4-5 hrs per week only because Lodle helped.

For a total time commitment... that would be impossible to quantize, but it is definitely like having a full time job.

Yey for me.

Which is why we embrace the fruits of their efforts.

Explain this "real work" you speak of.

[Mark [lodle]]

The work that brings the pay check home each week so i can eat.

More then anything, I want to be able to vote on maps like in TF2.

It would be great to just about able to type !vote and be able to vote on the next map, and weapon set list.

That is not of the mod; that  is up o the server hosts. Some servers, like WN's ones, have that system. I think it can be added, but it's unlikely to happen, I guess.

We are leaving that functionality up to server hosts and plugin makers like HLxStats.

Just another vote for bots.  I'd pay full admission for bots, seriously.  I implore you cool guys, bots please!

Seriously, we have posted several times that they are on the drawing board. In fact we already have preliminary code written to make them work and be customizable for whatever gamemode is active.

NO GUARANTEES

How hard would be to make these AI actually seem like they are.... intelligent?

[killermonkey]

I can count the number of retail games with "intelligent" AI on one hand, and I have 4 fingers... (j/k on the fingers)

That's how hard it is...

Wow. Is it the 3D aspect of it that makes it hard? I've created limited AI in 2D games, and it wasn't that difficult.

Would you say that the Half-Life 2 AI would be one of the very few?

Are bots usually ran on scripts?

Sorry for all the questions, its just that the whole artificial intelligence is very intresting.
