« on: July 17, 2006, 03:24:23 PM »but getting the lag fixes that the retail has, I doubt TBG will make it that farAlready getting there with the work we did this weekend.
Also, this is not being "made by the TBM people." The only TBM staffmember involved at the moment is gobbles IIRC. I'm lending a hand wherever I can.
I don't understand why elfprince posted this, and on the flipside I don't understand all this vitriol coming our way. Are you going to trying to convince yourselves that this is going to be a failure? Is that why everyone's yelling about this so loudly? Obviously, the people involved and some of the TBM community don't think this is going to fail, so what do you guys hope to accomplish? (Incidentally, I'm of the mind that it would be wise to keep your mouth shut in case we do pull it off) I told Ephialtes he's free to believe that we'll fail, but are you guys trying to convince the people trying to make this that it will fail?
Anyway, I'm still probably buying retail, and basically this is just a side project for me from my real job to make something fun to play. As far as TBM modding retail - please. Even if the TBM people were allowed to & followed the mod rules, you can already see the negativity that would surround them. We want to play a cool building game with the approach that we had made, and the mod we prefer hasn't been welcome in this community for a long time (I also play & host RTB now and again) so why not break off and make our own approach? We're not selling it, the features will be different than retail's (the only similarity will be that they are both building games, but even the approach to how building works will probably be completely different - I can't be certain since I haven't played retail, but yeah) so it shouldn't cannibalize retail's sales.
