For the past few years/months (i dont recall) i've been coming back here, and it seems like development on that one thing that could fill up the emptyness that a dying TS left has stopped. That's what i seems like. Is there still being worked on the mod, and if yes, what will it be done in months, or years?

Someone else did post this question recently, but no one replied with an update. The only reply was from you referencing 3 month old posts from the developers.

Since this mod is supposedly in the beta testing phase, we would think there would be feedback and even excitement from the developers. Not a word for 3 months is kind of scary at this stage. Possibly too many bugs were found that require extensive recoding.

Either way, if enough people are asking if this mod is dead, it may implore one of the coders or Admins of this forum to give an answer/update, so I say let them ask.

Sorry to sound like a dick, but I find it hard to believe that the developers created a forum that they don't use for months at a time, so I am really interested as to why they haven't been updating anymore.

Oh im here pretty much everyday, and the forums you guys can see is only half of the actual forum that we use.

That aside, yes an update is needed, we'll try to get around to it.

You guys should release a public beta. Even if it's not entirely polished, and only one level it'll help drum up interest. You'll never get new people to join the project and help out if they think it's in limbo.

All I'm looking for is something with a nice movement system. I've always found the stunting in the Action games a bit clunky. Ditto The Opera. The Specialists was good but its best days are long behind it.

AHL2 was a bomb, interest in this mod is nowhere close to how it was even 1 year ago.

As a dev of other things myself, I know the Q of 'When?!?!?' is crap, but an entire summer has come and gone. So with school having started back up, I really see this mod going the way of Project Jiva & AHL2.

If there is still development, there absolutly needs to be some kind of communication with your fans, weither or not it be an offical update, or a kindly reminder that "Hey, this week/month we got some good stuff done".

If your team is not, or can not work on it, cut them loose and get one of the hundreds of qualified people on moddb to polish this thing and get it out the door.

New blood always invigerates a project with new excitment and motivation.

So to contradict myself

~WHEN?

Agree...

When? What?

Hmm. Good question.

Mmm new blood would be nice too, but i think its as it has been suggested before, we're just wrapping some crucial things up whenever we get time and we'll get the product out the door.
