and I know it's rude and irritating to ask for a release date, that's why I'm keeping it approximate, I won't hold you to it, and you don't even have to answer, so there's absolutely NO need to get pissed off.
What quarter of this year would you say the release is in?

Posted by: Luciel January 02, 2008 07:10 pm
definetly...


1 of the 4 quarters of 2008 : ) and by 1 i do not mean first, i mean one.

You know thats kinda not answering his question.

We honestly don't know when it'll be out. We work on this mod during our spare time, after most of us have finished work or university/college. This means that we have a limited amount of time to work on the mod, in addition we all have personal issues to deal with, family, friends, girlfriends (some of us have extremely understanding girlfriends though so we never complain, at least not in a public forum where they can read about us doing it wink.gif) so that eats up more of our free time.

Basically we don't all work at the same rate, nor can each of us do the same amount of work on a weekly or monthly basis. So we can't plan for a release date because we don't know how quickly we can get the outstanding work done.

More capable or qualified people on the team means the work gets done faster, unfortunately our team is undermanned in everything other than the map making dept.

So the reason we can't give a release date is because we if we did give you a date it would be a lie!

That, my friend, that answer needs to be stickied so noobs can stop asking for the release date... in a very very bad noobish way.

Hamster asked nicely and with reason, so he's no noob. biggrin.gif

And I like Luciel's answer too XD

Posted by: iliketoblowzombieheadsoff January 03, 2008 10:40 am
Haha, that's not a rude answer!! XD

That could be a good way to answer the release date. biggrin.gif

Haha, we don't need that right here right now, so I bet nobody wants to.
This here is a noob-proof question, so don't go

"NOOB NOOB NOOB FLAME FLAME FLAME GTFO!"

Because, hamster didn't ask in a noob kind of way.

Posted by: mallic January 05, 2008 04:25 am
XD you know me to well XD

Posted by: SDWBOSS January 06, 2008 12:54 am
I surmise that we will get early-warning of an impending release in the form of a Beta, perhaps even a public Beta? I just don't know.

*Edit* Luciel's answer is going in the ever-expanding Quote list biggrin.gif

hey thanks for the respect man, I have to say this forum gave a much warmer welcome than the nmrih forums did. I guess they're just exasperated, waiting for a mod that will never release. I really just made an account here to ask for a christmas update (same for NMRIH, and I guess it worked there too, despite not being answered very warmly at first.
I regular more at the zm forums btw, have done so for a few years, so you know where I am if you need me, and rest assured I will most definitely post there to advertise BBS when it's released.

Don't worry I wasn't going to flame, just put out a really long answer that would be hard to tell what the hell I was talking about (sorta like chef brian)

Heheh, we were discussing how the DEVs are busy, and Luciel suggested about MSN, they can get together there and stuff.
But now it's a discussion about how it doesn't work biggrin.gif
