This Zygmund Rosati guy looks like a real criminal... and his name sounds like one, too.
Wonder what we're looking at bottom left?
Re: September 22nd
#47Are you going to release your old stuff? Older models or something? They would be welcome.
Re: September 22nd
#48We don't have all that much old stuff that's been entirely deprecated - a lot of it has been HTLed and will be released as part of Act 1 (the old versions of these assets won't be getting released, needless to say). What doesn't get released... well, sure I don't see why not, it's just not a priority at the moment because:
A) What little remains is scattered across multiple backups and old directories, so it'd be a fair amount of effort to put it all together and make sure it's at least more-or-less in a working state and
B) There's very little that would stand up to modern quality expectations - a lot of our stuff was designed either before or early on in the HTL (high poly) era - it's either retail quality or lacks the kind of detail level/shine and normal mapping of modern stuff, meaning the chances of it getting used in any current projects are small to none.
In other words, it's a relatively high-effort/low-reward endeavour that isn't really a justifiable priority right now. If it happens, it'll be after Act 1 comes out.

Re: September 22nd
#51So, uh... is this still true?That's it. Literally the only things standing in the way of the beta will be one asset, one SCP build and a few hours (tops) of FREDding. Moreover, since this delay has been so long, I've had time to replay and replay missions, and do a lot of my own bugfixing, which means that the beta testing should be a minimally disruptive process (at least, in terms of bugs reported - we're still going to have this thing tested intensively). And then, the only thing standing between Beta and release is one texture job, which is almost finished anyway.
Re: September 22nd
#52Basically, yeah. Everything that's happened since then has been feature creep or polishing existing assets (like the HTL of the Atlantis). The big asset in question is on its way though.

Re: September 22nd
#56I'm kind of leaving all the 2011/12 legacy stuff as motivation to force myself to finish ASAP> It might even be working -we're stupidly close now that I have this final pof.

Re: September 22nd
#57All our assets are now completed. VA and I are in the process of beta testing Act 1. First pass bugfixing is complete on about 70% of the missions. I plan on getting that number up to 100% tonight.
