uh Lack of updates?
« on: November 03, 2009, 04:03:36 AM »
I know youve been busy with the mod and not having many people helping at the mo (was down to like 3 people right?) but if you complete a unit would you be able to make a small update on modb or something so we know that the mod IS progresing?

they explained this in the TIE crawler thread. they don't have much "eye-candy". unless you want to see the dull stuff, there won't be much.

I think i remember Corey saying that he won't post updates just for the sake of posting them.  Surely it is better to have larger, less frequent updates than weekly ones that just say and show the same things?  Bear in mind that it is only three weeks since the last big update was posted (NR Faction), it isn't like there has been no news for months on end.

Besides, unit showcases like the TIE Crawler (which i assume this thread is about) are a great way to reward those who have registered on the forum and have gained access to the Members Only and Admirals Lounge sections.

I thought it was pretty well understood that we have one update a month. Half of them are even named "Month X Update". It's only November third, the update will probably be in the teens. And as stated by others in this thread, we do show stuff here, mod database only gets the actual updates or else when we post them none of the screenshots will be new to anyone, or else nothing on the forums (which is far more important) will be exclusive for those who took the time to register.

Do keep in mind that there are actually only two people (Enceladus and I) working on this mod as far as I know, with the occasional contribution of a redone effect (and maybe UV) by Codeuser, and text by Zer. We also have to worry about real life while we're doing it. This is a HOBBY for us. We do it for FUN. The time I spend working on it is better spent getting it done than telling people how much is not getting done because I have to get a bunch of screenshots and information together.
I also have a YouTube channel where I talk about mod development and gaming, do tutorials, and Let's Plays. If you like the content, consider supporting it on Patreon

Keep in mind that at this point, there isn't much more of the mod that can be shown without ruining the whole experience. Rest assured that if no progress were being made for a long enough time, Corey would come out and say it.

I know he isn't, hence why i linked to the thread ABOUT the Admirals Lounge rather than to the lounge itself.
