S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Way of the Wolf
Final Status Update
It is my sad duty to inform you, our loyal and dedicated supporters/fans, that development on STALKER: Way of the Wolf is hereby postponed indefinitely.
Due to the inability of our modeler, Joshy, to produce and modify content for the mod thanks to the badly-written and now completely unstable X-Ray Engine modeling plugins, we are unable to continue work on making the mod we the team, and you the people, want. Without modifying existing, and creating new level geometry, the mod would be a hollow shell of what it deserves to be. Because of this, we have decided to discontinue work on the mod.
I know this will come as a shock and a deep disappointment to everyone. Believe me when I say that this is not what we wanted to happen. So much work has been put into the mod so far and it's truly heartbreaking to have to abandon what has become our baby. However disappointed you are, trust that we feel ten times worse, for the disappointment we've caused you, and ourselves.
All is not necessarily lost however - developing Way of the Wolf has been exceedingly educational for me especially, in the use of the SDK/Level Editor and in general modding knowledge. I'm happy to announce that the team will be moving our attentions to a project close to my heart - the creation of Call of Pripyat: Redux v2.0.
Redux v2.0 is going to be bigger and better than ever before. I won't go into specifics in this news post (check out the Redux ModDB Page) but suffice it to say that everything you wanted v1.0 to be will make the cut for v2.0 (stashes + upgrades especially) plus a hell of a lot more. We ask that you stick around and support us in this endeavour as much as you have for WotW.
Once again, we apologize, and thank you for your never-ending support and dedication to the mod. You guys are really amazing.
- Beacon and the WotW Dev Team
:( very-very bad news. Good hunting, stalkers!
Well as long as people are modding stalker im happy
<sheds a man-tear>
I feel like throwing a fit and stuff..... ANGRY FACE! hulk sad D:>
Its postponed indefinitely, not cancelled, so it might get picked back up at a later date.
Don't remove WotW from your tracked mods yet!
I'm crushed now...Very sad new's :(
You guys should find a modeler that could help you then, and what exactly is wrong with the plugins? Do you need the plugins?
Awww, *sad face*.
I really hope this will be picked-up in future, this has potential..
Well, I will wait...
That's really bad news, man, I've been looking forward to get this one. After all the energy you've put into your mod... sad, sad.
What a shame to hear... :(
cant wait, if you ever pick it up again, to see an update :)
Next good looking mod bites the dust... Sad but true.
I feel sorry for you guy's. Working so hard on something only to find out it can't be done. I've been there too (not with modding), and I completely believe that you guy's are feeling MUCH worse than us.
At least you haven't given up, good luck on all your future projects! I'll be tracking for sure.
Very bad news.
I'm sorry for you, and for us. Sincerely.
Maybe you can use your work about WotW for Redux v2. For example, you can use your new faction ISG, no?
And about map? Have you one or two release map, or zero? If you have only one, please, add it in your Redux v2!
Good luck for Redux, and i will continue to pray for WotW.
Well, ****.
A single tear is shed for our lost brethren.
Ah cr*p! This should not happen!
Looks like this is a pretext. Tried to contact them due to the plugin problem but judging from them not giving any answer it's not the actual problem but a pretext. A pity as I had been looking forward to this modification.
Got now word from the makers. It's though clear now they lost interest. There is no will to try to fix the problem so it is safe to say this project is dead. You can un-track this one here. Nothing to see anymore, move on. R.I.P. WotW
Sad news indeed, hope it won't be cancelled.
Anyway best wishes to the team whatewer project they'll decide to keep up!;)
im not angry but i am very sad for both that i will never get to play it and that you all have to abandon it after so much work, its like a creeper just blew up your greatest creation but 100x worse Y^Y
A pity, one of the most daring mods has officially declared "dead"
That's now a fact.
A sad fact which has been for sure a heavy weight on the shoulders of you and your team Beacon,and when you wrote this you surely were sad, like the community is now sad for the death of your great mod.
My hope are very clear:
That MAYBE, just MAYBE someday you will write a new update to WotW or that you create a new CoP-project, a project which will stand for a new generation of total conversation mods, a mod which will be the
dignified legacy for WotW.
with that what i want written down, and my hopes raised back to the stars, i want to say see you next time, regards
Kukicha
