and a shit tons of dead projects..............
That's absolutely true, and your list is just scratching the surface.
people dont see any benefict in posting art work in these forums, or any doubts for that mater
I totally understand why, given the atmosphere. I only do it when I feel like taking random whining from jerks.
a belgium friend of mine that played spring, he said of all the open source ive played this is the most awesome, yet this is the one i wouldnt spend my free time deving a mod for it
i was like wtf, this is awesome engine why you say that:
Reasons he said:
1┬║with all the engines out there i can choose from, with better ability to post, or recieve help in using it.
2┬║i can get more feedback, and more playerbase with deving a game with those engines than spring.
3┬║face it when you enter spring website you look at a game not a engine
when you start to want to make stuff, you go ask in channels like moddev, even main........
-what hapens next fail and unawnsered questions.
That's all true.
If you want help, you have to post on the Forums.
If you post questions on the Forums, then a lot of people frequently won't answer questions or try to help (including me) because whenever I do that, I get attacked by people with axes to grind, instead of them offering superior help (presuming they know what they're actually talking about).
After awhile, I've just confined help to people who send me PMs. Which totally sucks, but I just got sick and tired of the giant flamefests every time I tried to write an article about how to do things.
