Loss of Interest in BM?

[Preda]

There’s so much work already put in this mod that it can’t realistically not be released. I’m thinking late 2011.

I find this funny because if you are referring to the website design, layout and code, the devs have absolutely nothing to do with that.

If you are talking about posting on the forums I laugh again because only a very few developers ever come here and the ones that do are mostly posting patient replies to silly questions that have been asked over and over and over such as when is the mod done and why has twitter not been updated and other things like that.

So if you want those few devs to post less (which really won’t help development in the slightest seeing as they can post while they wait tor maps to load/eat breakfast/etc) you have two options.

Option #1: The devs should stop being so patient and kind towards new people and adopt the “fuck 'em” attitude of the community.

OR

Option #2: Stop asking silly questions that you already know the answer to.

I find it kind of funny, I find it kind of sad.
The mods in which we want, are the best we’ve ever had.
I find it hard to tell you, I find it hard to take.
When idiots run in circles, it’s a very, very

Sad world. Sad world…

Loss of Interest in BM? !NOT ME!

I’m silent but I care, waiting patiently. I check for BM updates all the time and there is no need for me to eat the devs nerves with my stupid questions. Well I can’t ask much more because everything has been answered allready.

I’m sorry, I have just taken a cough suppressant that warned me my mind might go a little fuzzy. Am I the idiot running in circles in that poem?

No, it’s aimed at all those that complain about the mod not being released, or not having enough work to show for the mod.

Believe me, you’re the last person I would say that to. :3

[COLOR=‘Black’]Not really.

:retard:

[_amp_955_dam]

I’ve just realized what you said had nothing to do with that. :hmph:

Oh f- Sorry for the double post.

[_rot_fodder]

The dev’s are probably just having so much fun playing BM that they forgot to reelease it

It’s not like building a car, where there is a set number of parts that all go into their own respective places and when all fo the parts are in place you are done.

It is more like building a city. You know it needs roads, buildings, electricity, water supply, water drainage, access points to those utilities, citizens, police, bureaucrats, firefighters, EMTs, plumbers, mechanics, architects, gas stations, truck drivers, cars, bicycles, babies, grandmothers and fathers, domesticated pets, plants, gardens, parks, playgrounds…

I could go on for pages. No one can put a finger on how many more things they need, no one knows how many of each item they need, or how long it will take to create new items, and whenever they change one variable it affects all other variables, and everything needs to be monitored and adjusted as they go along, making percentages completely meaningless and pointless to provide for the people that aren’t involved in the creation of said assets.

Sure you can, it’s called a software process guide/project documentation. In a well managed project, the requirements are set more or less rigid and development is just one part of the process. Landmarks in development are made in process reviews, by rating the project on a component basis (using numbers 1-5 or similar or a traffic light system). This allows percentages to be put together, all in all the process probably takes about half an hour.

And in a creative project those numbers will never be accurate because they fluctuate too much. In a project like this entire sections and props can be tossed out and rebuilt on a whim because there aren’t any rigid parameters to stick to. It is all up to the developers and what they think best at any given point in time.

And telling people that aren’t working on the mod what the percentages are as just as foolish as trying to calculate what percentage is actually finished in any area.

Interesting. Wonder if they’ll have some “empty nester” shit to deal with…

hell, i dont care.

the longer it takes, the better it will be.

By my calculations, this means Duke Nukem Forever is the MOST AWESOME GAME IN THE UNIVERSE.

I really am a super cockroach compared to most of the people on here. I only even heard about the mod early last year, but I was hooked as soon as I saw the video! I actually wasn’t very surprised when it didn’t come out. My only problem that’s only very slight is that there hasn’t been very many updates lately. But then again I’m way out of the loop so there might be and I might not even know about them. It would be nice to look on the site and even just get a little bit of “we’re still working on it”, but I’ll be waiting for it anyways

[Madcat1030]

Wow, heard of it last year. Amazing.

Well, I guess, compared to some [see: most] of the noobs, that’s saying something.

Nice to have an enthusiast on board though…

For more images and stuff, check out the wiki’s update page. There’s all sorts neat stuff there.

If they really ‘just’ missed the 2009 deadline they could set a new one, also to the public… If they didn’t missed the 2009 deadline it would have been released 5/6 months ago… Sick…

[mental2k]

But clearly they didn’t ‘just’ miss it, as Catz said earlier Ram had hinted it wasn’t goin to meet the dealine. These guys aren’t a paid dev team, they have lives and jobs outside BM, sometimes its hard to predict how long something will take. Even pro dev houses mess up regularly.
