no, I dont want source forts to get uber realistic, this thread is about somthing else.

obviously, we want to give the mod more finished by creating custom models, and concept work is already underway. however, we shouldnt rush into this. I think that first we have to think about what theme source forts is gonna have. otherwise it might look like an odd mix of random things that have just been thrown together.

TCs are too much work.

Seconded

I was thinking about this when I was thinking about a possible replacement for the freezer gun... the rebels were going to have a bare circuit board with a normal gun stock attached to the bottom, a bare battery in a battery holder, bare wires leading into the barrel, and then some sort of sci-fi flashy-lights mumbo-jumbo at the other end, and the combine were going to have the same but in a more corporate middle-of-the-road design with a plastic case over the circuit board. The same could happen to the destabalizer, a circuit board with a big speaker on the front .

I'm getting rather tired of the liberal use of the word 'we'. I know I'm not exactly in the perfect position to say that, but I'm saying it anyway.

SourceForts is not a gameplay style that lends itself well to storylines or even universes. Take it for what it is. Yes, new models are on the way. What you've posted here is, like so many of the posts in the forum, stating the absolutely bloody obvious. The transition into a 'big boy mod' is a gradual process - to try and accomplish everything in one version would lead to a several month wait (or worse still, an endless one). Rest assured, both I and the team want to do most of these things, but not without compromising the gameplay.

theme?
well, that's pretty long term.
models?
i hear theyre being worked on
Where its going?
Yeah, I'd like a game-plan for the mod too, but you know how those development types are :P they wont tell us anything.

ok, I think im not getting my idea across well.

basicly im saying that we should think about where the mod is going before we make new stuff. everything above was only a suggestion.

ok just gonna edit my post now...

"Basically", we are thinking about it. If I told you every decision that was made in the staff forums or staff IRC channel, 40-50% of the users here would be screaming saying "don't do that, you'll ruin it!". I read every post in the Suggestions forum (I read every post in the whole board at the moment because it's not that fast moving), I listen to all the IRC conversations and I've talked to a lot of people in a lot of game servers. I've done my research. Now, leave it in our hands for two weeks, and come v2.0.0, you can scream about how much we've fucked up. Until then, just trust us.
