Spring got no mention in MOTY
i'm suprised that there is no single mention of Spring or it's mods in 2006 MOTY at MODDB.com ...
especially when there was so nice Mod of The Year voting about 2006 (IMHO very well done) and as Spring matured a lot in 2006 ...

wonder why .... maybe RTS genre (and OSS) is less" interesting than tons of FPS mods and projects...
oh well

No one nominated any spring mods. That's basically the only reason. I doubt BA would have gotten mod of the year, most likely you wouldn't even see it mentioned, but at least we could have had a voting page up.Guessmyname wrote:or maybe because moddb counts Spring as a game, not a mod, thus you can't vote it in for MOTY
And BA/AA just change stats of original cavedog units. Whereas the winning mods have all new cool content, music, stories. Compare the quality of the hl2 mod Minerva: Metastasis with springs mods for example.
Ofcourse, part of the problem is that the spring engine doesn't really support the features of commercial games (Skinned models, good music, single player campaign to start with), so it's not even possible to get that kind of completeness in a spring mod.

The Playerbase is the big Problem. If we take out the SM-Casuals we have not even 340 but somewhere near to 200.
I today let my little bro (10year old) play Spring vs AI. I gave him no Advice - and i returned 1 hour later and he was still alive.. and he is a fan. So we do little steps but we move on.
But the Chance of that little Player beeing scared of were big.. so what we need is a dumb-porcy AI, challenging every new player in a Autostarting FirsGame on SmallDivide... in one of the three GPL-Free (EE,GD, NB)..
