Re: Tower Defense thread.
come on smoth, if your not going to release this at least release a beta we can play with or someone can work with. you cant just release the most interesting project in spring then totally leave it to rot
Re: Tower Defense thread.
TD is taking a break while I get acclimated to my job and do gundam models.
Re: Tower Defense thread.
Does anyone apart from smoth work on this mod? As far as i can tell, nothing at all has been done in the last 4 months (since october) - is this project dead?
Re: Tower Defense thread.
can you piss off?
There has been more progress then YOU have seen
Smoths computer was broken for 2 months, as well as his graduation date, getting a new job, moving out of his old house, 4th year exams, other assorted shit. Smoths posts were out of line, but it was inappropriate for you take a shot like that bored. - moderator

Re: Tower Defense thread.
Chill out, and accept that people don't understand how things work, and how much time things actually take.
This isn't the right way to treat players, Smoth. He just doesn't understand why you might not have anything to show at the moment, and since you guys said you were going to put this out under some sort of OS license, and people have been wanting to play this and were excited about it, it's completely understandable, and surprising that it didn't happen sooner.
People never understand that 90% of the work on a game is stuff that is beneath the surface, and not amenable to screencaps. It's just how it is. BoredJoe isn't a game designer, there's no way he understands that. Nor would he understand why you'd be very reluctant to hand the project over to other people, given your personality type. It's not an excuse to act like that.

Re: Tower Defense thread.
cute argh, way to not read the thread.
Not that you listen to anyone but the thread became constant pestering about progress shots and I was constantly being pmed about it. I said in this thread, unless said post was deleted that I will not post further updates until the release as to not encourage the pestering of the TD team.
Fact of the matter is that I owe him no shots and for that matter anyone else. I can work on TD at my leasure. Don't try and get preachy either, I am well aquainted to your psychitzophrenic personality of one minute offering advice and the next ordering people around. I have not forgotten your repeat behavior and unlike this forum's database, my records are not so easily removed. I would be a moron to think you are anything other then the egotistical prick that you are. So keep your egotism outa this thread and go proclaim yourself god of "game design" elsewhere.
FACTS:
A: This thread will not have an update until the mod's release.
B: I have put ample time into TD and it would behoove you people to let me flow in a way that is acceptable to me.
C: TD is not being made by EA games, it will not be released plagued with bugs and incomplete features.
D: Outside of creeps I have more models to do but the current test is very playable.

Re: Tower Defense thread.
Cricky, I think I can almost hear the timer ticking...
Re: Tower Defense thread.
Do you still need any other sounds? Other than flamethrower which I will not make until you reply the PM I sent a long time ago! 

Re: Tower Defense thread.
Clearly you misunderstand me....
From this I can deduce that other contributers are currently doing nothing. I can also see that you dont have time to commit to the project to finish your things off, as you have other priorities.
What I was suggesting was other contributers with time on their hands could take over the work you're doing while you sort out work etc.
In your last post you say TD is taking a break. This suggests you're the only one working on TD as otherwise you'd say you were taking a break from TD.smoth wrote:TD is taking a break while I get acclimated to my job and do gundam models.

When you were working on it you produced a lot, you even say here you're no longer working on it and yet you still taking ownership of work you cannot do. I was suggesting that work be delegated to other people.smoth wrote:in the time i was working on it I pumped out epic amounts of content.
Re: Tower Defense thread.
Also, Smoth, I'm down to help with audio if you want another head on that.
Re: Tower Defense thread.
just because you have not seen an update does not mean there has not been anything added or created.
Consider this timeline:
September was the Last update I posted, at which point, mid september, I had midterms. After midterms I had a huge block of time to complete creeps and new turrets.. what happened? my motherboard failed. Which meant I had NO computer usage and all of my time was spent repairing that issue. The computer was up and running by dec and at which point I had to both secure my current job and get through finals. Then month of decemeber was spent finding furniture and a place to put it. The place to put it was in the next STATE so that required ample time. Now I get moved in and I am trying to settle into my place while getting used to living in the work world.
So lets see:
Sept: Worked halfway through it, and even posted shots, shots which you didn't look at.
Nov: computer was busted
dec: moving and finals
jan: getting settled in.
feb: been trying to make some headway on gundam
TD will be done when it is done. Mael will work on the lua once he has time, as will I. TD is not a one man show and I have recruited COMPETENT and AVAILABLE help where I can. Plain and simple, I have done what I can. I understand your post but do not DARE come in here and make demands ESP that I "pass the baton to someone who can finish this off rather than rely on someone that clearly has other priorities."
