Dev teams are always disillusioned about the quality of their own work.

Talk to any developer at a game company. They will always say “I just hope the fans like it” in a half worried voice when asked about the quality of their game. Even for undeniably awesome games such as God of War III, this was the case.

If Ram says that members of the team have played it and had fun, that is a very, very good sign.

Thier ability to enjoy the game is MUCH less then ours, being “new” players, because they know every little detail about pretty much everything and know how this works and that works and have been exposed to everything the game has had to offer for nearly half a decade. That does make an impact on ones enjoyment of the game.

Its the artists sacrifice: You will never enjoy your work as much as someone from your audience might.

So guys. The game will come out. And it will be awesome. End of story.

Pretty much true. On my last playtesting of something:
DAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA GOD HIS MOUTH DIDN’T QUITE LOOK LIKE A SMILE AFTER THAT SNARKY COMMENT, GOD EVERYONE’S GONNA HATE IT

You think your work is crap. However, I KNOW mine is.
I mean, look:

Horrible!

#44

I agree.

Well, the same thing happens to me with everything I do, from trying to make friends, to working, to chat up a girl or even to post on this forum… hell, you guys must be sick of me posting on this forum… I will just return to my dark corner.

if this mod does not look like crysis HL style i will ragepost all over these forums

…unlike many people i here, im active on the forums just because i enjoy them. the mod will just be a very pleasant thing when it comes out, but its not like im on here solely for that purpose. hell, i think ill find more fun admiring each and every detail of the mod because i know ill be comparing it to a retail game and going “oh wow, we need more passionate game makers out there”

tl;dr: i will have a nervous breakdown when the mod comes out

This is the flamiest thread i’ve seen lately. If you really want the game to come out, go to sleep.

We’ll wake you up when it comes out.

We promise :retard:

Thank you.

Would be cool if this could be posted to the “Updates about the status of the mod” thread.

first-time IP addresses to forums.blackmesasource.com/* should be sent straight to the FAQ, a 3 minute timer should come up at the top of the page, and when that runs out, and the scroll bar is all the way down, it will allow them to continue, to the “isblackmesareleased.com”, and after that is done posting it’s MANY useful links, they should be allowed onto the forums. If they don’t go through all of both sites, they keep getting brought back to the FAQ with 3-minute timer.

And I totally missed Raminator’s update: I’m glad to hear you guys are happy with progress. Hope to see it by the end of winter. Just don’t release it over generalized winter break-type dates. Lol, I won’t have my computer…
