Anywho, Zunni's been off the team for months and months now.

This probably won't be as good as NS for several reasons.  The biggest being that it'll be compared to NS no matter what the official dev stance is.  Half of the charm of NS was that most of us had never seen anything like it before.  

Anywho, I'll play it but the whole thing seems way too impulsive to turn out alright.  Hope they prove me wrong.

It's going to be compared to NS, that's a bad thing as people are going to suggest plagiarism or "loving tribute".


It'll be nice, if it works, and if it appears in timely fashion. I adopt the "wait and see" stance  :D

I vote that becomes our new slogan, or rather, first slogan ever.

Not entirely implausible. NS and drama went hand in hand it seems.

NS v3.1.3 changelog
o Gorges only get 50% health regeneration from their own healing spray
o The alien resource tower "hull" has been increased in height to reduce the effectiveness of players hiding inside the model
o The message printed when a player joins a team will not be displayed during the warmup. After the round has started, the message is not displayed more than five times a second to prevent client disconnects

[ December 2nd, 2005 ] :: NS v3.1.2 released
[April 10th, 2006 ] :: NS v3.1.3 released

"in four months and eight days we managed to: nerf combat gorges, play with entity hulls and fix a message bug."

I appreciate comments like this..

I understand how it must appear to people from outside, but if you stop and think about it many of the upcoming mods and recent games (EmpiresMod, Nuclear Dawn, even Insects Infestation and Caliber in some ways) are combinations FPS/RTS. You can trace large chunks of that lineage to NS as well.

Our goals are to provide an experience that expands on what people really liked about 1.04, long epic battles that you really felt a part of. Allowing a teams strategy to shine along with individual skill. Yes, some of the basics are the same, but our implementation will include things they haven't done with NS..

Just wanted to drop a quick note in and say "hi" and "someone showed me this" :)

it isn't so much the idea..but the work involved. HL2 by far is not an easy engine to mod and takes a long time to get anything reasonable to be released. You might want to take a read through the dev journal post by one of the Fortress Forever guys to see what I mean.

So, anyone on IRC or 'in the know' happen to know where ID went?  I haven't been able to get to the site for a few days.

apparently something happened with their hosting:

Quote
<^Zunni^> Our colo facilities decided that they didn't want to be in business any longer without telling us. They locked the doors (with our server inside). Ebag was working on getting the box back this weekend and will be setting it up on another connection later today. Now I haven't talked to him therefore I don't know 100% if he got the box yet but I'm hoping to talk to him today.
<^Zunni^> So that's the situation. We haven't even been able to get remote access to the box to grab the contents to transfer them
<aonomus> And even once its up, it'll take a few days for DNS updates to propagate for the domain
<^Zunni^> 'few' <-- most likely 24-36 hours max

Yeah, we aren't dead yet.. In fact as soon as the site goes back up, I have a piece of concept art that may turn into our scout class (with a few small edits). So this is killing me more than you know :)
