here's a new view model hand
OMGZXZZ leaks
we do need really solid PR, i agree, if someone wants to jump up to that position and proves themselves to be responsible to help out Sharp with organization and writing we are more than willing to listen to a pitch. Xantos left some big shoes to fill hehe. nothing is stopping anyone in our community from going out there and drumming up support for us. (its a great way to get into the team if you get some real noise made haha)
i totally get everyone concern with wanting the mod to be big, we want it to be big too, its just that keeping PR up and keeping the mod on track is really hard, when we do a PR release the whole team has to organize around that, and take our eyes off of production for a bit. and when we are on our way to getting this thing out the door, that's not something i want everyone to be doing really often.
Dr.No its better that GES is full of people who are passionate and crazy about making the game, rather than being full of a bunch of dudes who love to hear the roar of a crowd every time we release a picture of a prop. i know that PR is important, and can help everyone on the team and the community at large, but right now its not at the foreground for the team. when the game is done we will try to media blitz as best we can, and hopefully we have a great game that people love to talk about and word spreads about how fun it is. because our past 2 releases we had quite a big buzz around them, but the game was sort of a flop on gameplay, i would rather have a bad ass game and a small number of people playing at first that will grow, rather than a big number in the beginning that turns into hardly anyone playing 1 month later.
