Gameplay issues and introduction.

[PicassoCT]

Well, there are how many engines for free on the tubes? Take two more per day, make two abandoned.. so they should in aproximatly 43- 49 days be around here again.


Welcome back Kivi the bird...

Do it yourshelf, if you dont trust my math!

[knorke]

I feel this subforum will now turn into another bawbaw until KiviTheBird or it is locked.
Decline in the number of players modders.

Maybe some should contact them, I checked their forums and I think they're looking at Unity 3D now. That engine does not seem appropriate.

Would have been nice to have this game but it is not our responsibility to run after them.
It would have taken them 1 day to follow the "simple mod tutorial" but they did not bother.
Also lol how everybody offered all kind of help to this -so far- day dream but existing projects with shit that is actually playable hardly ever get such reactions.

[smoth]

I didn't offer, I don't really commit to help unless I see the person getting stuff in game like Picasso and snoop if Sean had stuck around.. Him to)

Not gonna baw but I do find it perplexing that people would move to an engine other than spring for an rts

[FLOZi]

I love Spring and it is incredibly powerful, but it has many weaknesses too in terms of modern graphical bells and whistles (by which I mean, more than anything, the animation system, the animation system and the animation system).

[PicassoCT]

dunno...
animations are only visible closeup...
moste of the time zoomed out anyway...
So if animation is botlike..
but the rest works better then any rts on the tubes...

Fuck yeah...

still got to fix the animation system. Somebody do this, before i have to do it... curse it, the guy with most organic units always draws the longest match. BAWWW.

Agreed, I did notice that people seemed to jump up to offer advice a lot more readily and full-heartedly with this phantasm of a project. I personally feel their resolve will fizzle out. They seemed way too determined to get exactly what they want, as opposed to working with what they have.

probably one of the best things I have read on this forum.

Sssssh we dare not speaketh of that

[scifi]

they left for a new engine, you can see that on theyr website

ALSO SOMEONE but not me , note that IT WASNT ME..............
posted this in theyr forums
(Spring dude posting stuff asking why spring wasnt chosen)

Also they were looking for coders that could help them achieve theyr goals from animation to economy, scripting and ui work.

[Wombat]

There not found no any animators, no needed quantity of free coders. also noone wanted to hammer a ik animation. So there are were to many people for discuss our project but noone wish to really help us with it.

HAHAAHAHAAHA

yup thats his conclusion

[AF]

ROFL, well worth the investment

[Karl]

They've got some serious decision problemm it seems

"A Hmm lets take this one."
"B Nah X Y not here Engine C got A W"
etc... judging by their weird engine choice AFAIK
"SAGE -> Spring RTS -> Unity 3D"

[Google_Frog]

Spring RTS, a weird engine choice?

[PicassoCT]

Team without structure, moving like a amobea, we will hear again from this project, when it is a massive-RPG-Strategy-Action-Title, developed for 3 plattforms, with two engines.

Hmm, I'm reminded of a quote: "The reasonable man adapts himself to the world; the unreasonable one persists in trying to adapt the world to himself. Therefore all progress depends on the unreasonable man." --George Bernard Shaw

More pertinently I'm reminded of how the Blender project approached this issue - they set themselves projects to achieve that they knew were beyond the capabilities of Blender: Elephant's Dream, Big Buck Bunny, Yo Frankie, Sintel. All these were designed with the intent of deliberately pushing the engine beyond breaking point so they could identify its weak points and rebuild it stronger enough to attain the higher bar.

Is this really such a bad approach?

[smoth]

When you don't want to do the footwork yourself it is.

[Google_Frog]

The situations are entirely different.

I know that everything they wanted is within the capabilities of the engine, most of it has already been done elsewhere. The wouldn't have to compromise on anything regarding the final product.

What they wouldn't compromise on is the distribution of work. They basically expected people here to 'port' their content. Whether they realised this or not, there is no simple porting procedure. They expected people here to effectively produce their game.


Examples of the most 'unreasonale' people would be knorke, carrepairer or KDR_11K.
