Hey people,
Being a long holding modder myself, (er is 4-5 years classed as long?) any ways, i can safly say i agree with every word that Ren has said. Even tho i am still classable as a nOOb, and have not get been able to say i am a high class modder, i still see what is going on.
Both rob and i, have strugled to get things working for what we have wanted. Rob has managed fantastic things with a limited engine, but many of my ideas have layed in the waste pile as they are just not possible, and look never to be possible with the limitations of such an engine. To put that aside, we have manged 4th side, managed AI tweeks, manged to bend the 100 unit bug, and managed to reveal ourselves to the community as people rather than nOObs.
In the end the game is OLD, its no longer FUN, and its not really going to last when Vista kicks it up the arse.
I in it all do not really want to give up, not since we are only on v0.42 (yes thats after 4years of development ) But at times i just dont want to do anything to the game any more, i gave up playing.. it can be good but needs allot more work to make it cut the butter again...
As for the community, i have left it well alone, we have asked for help many many times in our days, and got some good answers, but with our own share of bad luck (our curse as we call it.) we have lost staff and never regained a team. We have gone it alone for over 2 years, and manged to get allot done. But the community has got sick of rob and myself asking for help on meanial things.. Too many mods out there and not enough people to help each other.
Over any Out....
