Wth Is Going On With Ns Were Is Everyone!

NightCrawlerz · June 2004

<div class="IPBDescription">are we supposed to feel blind.</div> WERE ARE THE DEVS contact wit their fan base..... im totaly in the dark i feel like im playing a game with no future. It seems as if the team has just got up and left.... do we even have a team? have you started working on beta 5??? are you almost done??? How much effort does it take to write a SINGLE paragraph a week about what you have done in ns or whats going on or some sort of pit fall.

It seems as if ns has turned into a ghost town because there NOTHING to talk about and no news of anything going on ANYWERE. all i know is we have a site thats had the same news for the last 6 months.

what is going on?

The only info I would need is so much as a minimum ESTIMATE of when the new Natural Selection will come out, so I can choose wheather my map is too late to make, or I still have another couple of years.

WTH does that mean. you can always submit it for the next release, and i doubt 3.0 final will come anytime in the near future anyways. if you are making your map only because you intend to make it official, and will abandon it if it seems it wont make it to the next release then i think you have the wrong attitude.

Quaunaut · June 2004

Basically its just about done and ready to be dropped to the public, they are just waiting for the Flayra-Go-Ahead, being that this is HIS game.

And as the others said- stop frickin bitching about it. Its old, we know, and if you are that impatient you shouldn't play NS- we waited 7+ months for 2.0. Which then when 2.1 was supposed to come out- it goes to 3.0b(just like 1.1 turning into 2.0).

napi · June 2004

... I don't get it - why are people so impatient... the last release was barely 2 months ago...

any one remember how long 1.04 was around for...?!

Stakhanov · June 2004

NS will need a dedicated coder eventually , at least if the Unchained Chambers system is going to be implemented...

I don't think that's the issue, sure 1.04 was out for a while, but during that time dev's at least showed their faces.

And no I'm not bitching, I'm loving NS at the moment but should a dev. pop in and just say "Hello" I'm sure peeps around here would start a discussion on the hidden meaning behind the "Hello". We want stuff to talk about <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif' /> .

I wouldnt worry about this, a coder that wasnt apart of the NS team made it quite quickly im sure they can do the same, THANKS ME!

And those who think NS needs a dedicated DEV just need a reality check, NS doesnt make money, its free. Its not like CS where it is retail and making 30 bucks a copy. Also NS has more releases than CS so you should be extactic to be apart of such a great mod and team.

Keep giving them reasons to not come to the forums why dont ya, Why would they want to come in here and read all the posts that become flame wars?

really?

how many public versions of Ns have there been? (I'm starting at v1.03 as thats when i started):

1.03, 1.04, 2.0, 2.1?, 3, 4, 4a ... a few more in there?

CS? beta 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, CS 1, 1.3, 1.5, 1.6 <-- those are just the ones i know for sure... lord knows how many x.X's there are intermingled - there was a 1.2 and a 1.4 aswell i think? Again, not certain, so just threw down some numbers ^_^

I'm assuming you mean less time between each release (wich is going downhill might I add). NS can hardly be compared with CS in the way you are doing, CS is relatively easier to balance than NS. CS doesn't hurry with it's patches either, i'm under the impression they're being tested extensively before a public release. Wich I can't really say about NS (Beta 4 anyone?).

Wirhe · June 2004

Summer vacation, devs. taking their time easy, sun-spots... those might be some reasons.... even though I have to wonder is it too much to ask to keep a weekly log in the front-site, like I do with my own. <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/confused.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='confused.gif' />

VampMaster · June 2004

Flayra is moving --> Flayra doesn't have internet connection --> All important files are locked on Flayra hard drive --> Other coders have no access to the files because --> Flayra have no connection.

BattleTech · June 2004

The mass whining usually come's before the public releases.
It's happened from beta 1-4 after about three week's.

So you're saying they haven't even started on beta5 yet?

Zek · June 2004

No, it's definitely been in progress for some time. Flayra's connection problems are a recent thing as far as I know.

Speaking of which, I don't know what the situation is with that but he just posted yesterday in <a href='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=73408&view=findpost&p=1128509' target='_blank'>this thread</a> so hopefully it won't be much longer.

Apos · July 2004

Don't mind us, we are all feeling like abandoned children. When will pa pa come again momma? We miss him ever so much...

Buggy · July 2004

Seeing "the man himself" post somewhere at least, gives the average NS citizen hope again! It may not yet be too late.. <_<

Zek · July 2004

Progress on the bug tracker has resumed, most recently with a slew of fixes from voogru, so I assume the moving situation has been resolved. Now we just have to sit and wait for someone to talk to us.

semipsychotic · July 2004

Bingo. I think the bugtracker is the best, most undeniable evidence that work continues on Natura-selection. You can log into it every day and see new bugs reported, and then you check some day and a whole bunch are tagged "resolved" by a dedicated coder (as Zek mentioned voogru doing today and yesterday).
