Title: Hey Devs
Post by: CCsaint10 on September 23, 2007, 05:08:40 am
Hey guys,

   Just wanted to say how extremely awesome you guys are with working on this Mod. It is looking absolutely amazing and I am totally surprised at the amount of progress you have made in this little amount of time. It seems like every week there is a new textured gun and every 4 updates a new level or something. AMAZING! Thank you for this. Anyway, my main question for you guys is how much of the actual material that you guys have had updates for are going to be in the next release? Is all that supposed to be the next release? Also, what kind of information can you give me on the around about dates for release. Can you give me anything else but...."soon". Maybe like a rough guess in months or something...I don't know. Even if you aren't right....it doesn't really matter to me. I just need some sort of....hope...I'm going insane here.

Thanks for the kind words, we're always glad when people enjoy what we've done. Sorry though, no release estimates to give... we've learned from the past on that one. We know it's frustrating for you guys, but there's nothing we could say that would be accurate at this point, so there's no purpose to giving people false hope only to disappoint them. As for what content will make it into next release... that's really a day to day process. If it's ready, it'll be in. While the media shots we've released are carefully selected to show work we want to feature, that doesn't mean that what is seen is completed and fully working in game. I wouldn't count on everything you've seen being in the next release, but I imagine a good majority of it will be.

Nothing is guaranteed :P  Having said that, we are trying to include information into the media releases about the actuall development/ingame status to give you a better idea that the stuff we show isn't just pretty pictures but actually becoming playable ingame.

we certainly hope that all of the content will be in though but sometimes stuff happens that gives us problems, and we don't want to give you guys a crappy product.

sorry for being so quiet about release dates, its just that we hate to disappoint people, we give out dates when we are totally done and absolutely sure about something now. to many mistakes and missed dates in the past.

product implies you're selling it.

We are selling it..for $0.  :P

If we treat it like a professional effort, there's a better chance it will turn out like one.

Yeah, the only thing holding it back is the actual money required to drive a professional effort.

Do the best you can...

a product is anything produced by labor, doesn't necessarily mean or imply it has to be sold.

i only wish we had funding then we could have had the game finished ages ago hehe. oh well just have to keep on keepin on till this sucker is finished.
