Spring RTS Engine

I'm apparently a "Creative director." This frustrates me, because I've always thought "Creative Director" is just a clever euphanism for "useless idea guy."

Try to redo only what is absolutely necessary to start releasing things. If you go about giving everything a do-over, you'll get stuck and never release anything.

See point 11.

We Blender folk be so cash, we gots our own tattoo jounce. Blendin 4 Lyfe, yo! I have not seen you produce anything for some time. You're right -- I'm kind of occupied with other things right now. Nonwithstanding, have a shot of my File --> open last project! It's a little over a month old. http://...

I've always considered Tropical one of the most beautiful Spring maps, and now it's been done over!

One dislike, though: the new version breaks the beautiful smooth blending at the map edges that the water in v1 had.

Why don't you go play Zero-K for a few hours tomorrow, Sinbad? It'll be fun!

Seriously?

It's been out for six months and nobody notices the map's broken?

Beherith, you zipped it wrong. It's a 5 minute fix.

This is my first time playing Spring in months, but you regular players? A beautiful map like this? No excuse!

I feel the same way, and I agree with Senna.

Try a demo or something to make sure it's your kind of game before buying!

I am training you!

Prime Time? What does that mean?

Also, welcome back! Doesn't it feel great when you come back to something and it's grown and cool? It's like opening a present!

Here are my thoughts! Be nice! If you have a question only a few people can answer, direct it to only those people! Optimize posts for readability! (I like lists of short statements like this one) Word your posts such that people can clearly demarcate what is on-topic and what isn't! Ignore derails ...

I prefer artic foxes over fennecs but fennecs are still awesome. I read some research about fox breeding (for fur production), and they found out that after a while some of the breeding foxes started to become tame, and those foxes also lost their pointed ears. Their ears turned into the more hangi...

What do you guys think? To what extent does this article apply to our own community?

Hi-five yanom!

http://xirdalium.net/wp-content/uploads/antichamber.png This game... This game is totally different. Pretty trippy, a little pretentious, but definitely different. I've had my eye on this game since last year, when it was called Hazard, and from what I've seen of it, when it comes out it's going to...

Whenever I hear people mentioning RTS games (barring extremely awkward circumstances), I swing over and launch into a pitch like this one: "Hi, my name's MK! So you guys like Supreme Commander? SupCom's pretty cool -- I kind of wish the factions weren't all so same-y, though. My favorite RTS ga...

I like this post! It offers some perspective! I like perspective!

I'd write more, but that's all I really have to say!
