Right. This is why it's plainly time for them to pass the torch. It's happened before and it will either happen again or the mod will die.

Here's a question, before Aftershock, who was the lead dev?

Circuitous · 04-25-2008, 12:22 AM

Schtoofa, then Phish, then Defrag for a while, now AfterShock.

But if he's not here to pass the torch...

He doesn't need to be around to pass the torch

I could explain how the whole system works, but instead I'll just say "yeah he kinda does."

**squeek.** · 04-25-2008, 12:49 AM

Shock is here... so is Jiggles. Calm down, guys.

Rutabeggar · 04-25-2008, 03:15 AM

The time for calm and patience has passed. This game is a tease with what it could be. But here we all sit, with obvious solutions, and no one to take real action. I appreciate what the Dev team has done, but I'm sure most of them will admit that this mod is more of a hassle to maintain than a pleasure. Fortress Forever was a great idea initially...but now, 8 months after the fact, with no real direction or fixes, all we have is a busted game with potential which oddly enough is what we had when we started. I think we all understand that Devs deal with University, jobs, and family, but too be quite honest, this should have been considered when choosing the Devs as to who could dedicate the most time to get this mod actually moving forward before pulling back on the reigns a little bit.

Thats easy to say in hindsight.

Ive always thought one of the biggest problems was the most obvious and seemingly easy to fix: the front page. Example, engineer in media section:

simple answer, make game closer to tfc and call it tfc:source.

greenday5494 · 04-25-2008, 04:47 AM

no tu, that will make it fail

We need to integrate boobs into FF, that's the only reason World Of Warcraft is popular. Boobs, It's a mod's winning formula.

funny they both come back in time, right?

richard nixon · 04-25-2008, 07:00 AM

for whoever quoted me, I know they don't take donations. What I meant to say was that if in the future they did I wouldn't hesitate to donate at least 5 bucks. Or 10 if they promised to hurry things along or give access to non-public betas
