Apparently FB is updating the CSS for us.

DO IT ALL AT ONCE, MAN. THIS SHIT'S CRAZY.

Don't you have an "offline" version you can do this on?

o_alligator · 06-06-2006, 10:59 PM

I am noticing buggy FF forum theme right now

Circuitous · 06-06-2006, 11:13 PM

It's not buggy, it's PROGRESSIVE.

o_lithium · 06-07-2006, 01:34 AM

WE NEED A SONG ABOUT UPDATES.

schtoofa · 06-07-2006, 03:36 PM

I propose Men without Hats' Safety Dance.

Anyways, there's been a lot of stuff going on behind the scenes. A year+ ago, updates were easy because obviously initially we had practically nothing done. Every new unskinned and then skinned model or partly finished map was a huge deal.

So far a ton of work has been accomplished, so in contrast, now the things that aren't in game and done feel like the big deals. We'll give you something, fret not, but i'll tell you that we're close.

Media updates are good and help build a following and some hype. If the game play is crap, none of them will matter; however, if the gameplay is fun and cohesive and good, people will play it. Hang tight.

o_don · 06-07-2006, 03:53 PM

Schtoof. Get prepared for a major current of dev worshipping after the update. You may want to start a religion to cash in on the hype while you can.

o_puppychow · 06-07-2006, 03:55 PM

o_bumgravy · 06-07-2006, 03:56 PM

You are such a liar. Last summer there was not 1 released update. If updates were so easy to come by, why didn't you release them!? Release something you wankers.

Well let me rephase. Initially it was easier to impress. It wasn't before long that half the comments (re: update content) became "great, another unskinned grenade" and eventually "lovely a skinned shotgun - this mod is never going to be released." So gradually we got to the point where the only eye-popping media content can be in-game screenshots (or video). That requires getting everything done; not just several steps along the way (like we could do before).

Honestly, there's a lot of content in game right now, which I'm proud of the dev team for. We all want more to be there, and we're shooting to get a good push going here in the summer. (Although I suppose we could go through and take screenshots of each weapon that hasn't been featured in game before, each character, etc etc. but we haven't -- either way you guys will end up seeing them eventually

)

I see your point but I disagree.

Releasing images more often might be less amazing then if you release one every month or two but it ensures the community that work is getting down and people would rather see an unskinned weapon than see nothing at all.

It's all marketing and security, baby.
