Time has come where people start to question again on whether or not I've been ran over by a bus, and rightfully so of course when it has been quiet for a while. But fear not, the months of silence are just what it is: silence.
I just wanted to give a small heads up to let everyone know what's cooking.
Admittedly, last 9 months haven't been too productive on this mod. This is mostly due to private reasons. Chances are progression will not speed up a whole lot for some time to come. But nonetheless, progression is being made.
So where is it? Well, so far there's not a whole lot worthy of showing. Partly because I wish some models to remain hidden until they are finished, and because there has been a lot of work done on the technical aspect, which is all just a bunch of Mafiascript. For example, we got the save mechanism working, which is crucial in a multi-mission storyline and allows me to use only one scene for the majority of the missions. Otherwise I'd have to create about 20 separate scene files, which would all need to be modified separately if I wanted to fix one thing.
There is some cool stuff in the making modelling wise. A large part of it is being made by Patrik, my fellow modeller whom you all haven't heard about for a while. And it has a good reason why. I'm having a hard time not being able to share it yet as I'm quite exited for it.
So, my apologies for the silence. Just so you know, the mod isn't dead. Like in the past years, this mod knows it's peaks of frequent progression and it's moments of quietness.
Great large mods can take many years to develop, as i have experienced many times myself. So, i completely understand what you mean. Still, after 9 months it is a good idea of you to let use know that all is well with you and that the mod is still worked on. Much success and just take your time, we will wait, no presure here.
greetings,
Leon
Thanks for the heads-up nice to know you are still battling away and give my regards to Patrik for helping you, if he is anything like you i'm sure his model's will be good.
Godspeed!
I'm watching for this mod for few years, because the idea seems very interesting for me. But, frankly, the embodiment is more interesting. I often look at the renders and think - how good these all were modelled. Also such situation with development is familiar for me, although my mod is much smaller. Don't worry and keep up the good work, do it as you can.
Even these small news updates are enough for us mate, do not worry ;) . Take your time and post an update when you feel ready! Keep it up!
