Re: BP: War in Heaven discussion
Please make sure to go into detail, eventually you'll have enough material to make it into it's own story, just like Darius turned his Inferno Fan-Fic into BP. :pimp:

Re: BP: War in Heaven discussion
I was thinking that the GTVA sided spin-off/fan campaign would be released before WIH2.
Campaigns I've added my distinctiveness to-
- Blue Planet: Battle Captains
-Battle of Neptune
-Between the Ashes 2
-Blue planet: Age of Aquarius
-FOTG?
-Inferno R1
-Ribos: The aftermath / -Retreat from Deneb
-Sol: A History
-TBP EACW teaser
-Earth Brakiri war
-TBP Fortune Hunters (I think?)
-TBP Relic
-Trancsend (Possibly?)
-Uncharted Territory
-Vassagos Dirge
-War Machine
(Others lost to the mists of time and no discernible audit trail)

I think that thing died a few months after starting...

There's still traces of it in the BP beta svn, haven't taken a look at it yet.

Re: BP: War in Heaven discussion
Uhm... guys.... i realy dont want to sound impatient, but....
could u at least give us SOMETHING to get the story on?

I am reading HLP Forums since a while (actually, couple of years) and i know what happened to a lot of campaigns in that time.

Derelict still lacks a conclusion to some of its storylines, Inferno was never finished and the rerelease is still something i have to wait for (and as they allready moved the release date back a couple of times i dont think it will happen this decade) and now BP also seems to stand still for the moment.

Of course i have absolutly no insight into what is going on behind the scenes, but it would be realy nice if we could get at least something, even if it is just a single mission for the moment. I've seen so many stuff die on HLP, i am simply afraid this could happen again.

Oh and btw: Dual Captcha WTF?!

Re: BP: War in Heaven discussion
Don't worry! BP is still alive, just a bit sleepy. Axem prods at it every now and then, and it'll wake up once I hit my uni holidays.

Act 3 is pretty much done and tested. Currently working on Act 4, which all bar a couple of missions are gameplay complete (just requiring briefings, debriefing and fiction). If unrest gets too high and the populace starts rioting we can certainly release Act 3 but I'd like to get Act 4 done at the very least before release.

Re: BP: War in Heaven discussion
It's not very helpful to think about it in terms of percentages. Yes, the biggest part of development is done, but that doesn't mean the final bits and pieces are in any way easy.

I think it's better to assume that P2 will be released in Aug. 2014.  Then if it comes earlier, it's an awesome surprise.

Re: BP: War in Heaven discussion
If Rapture was supposed to be in December, Half-Life 2: Episode Three would have been done by now and Valve's teasing us.

Also, I don't care about the timeframe (I mean, you guys aren't on some restrictive schedule, right? What matters is the final product... ish), I think I've waited at least four years for a bunch of things to come out (one wasn't probably worth it, the rest are still midway through development, one of the longer waits is still currently The Hobbit). I think my level of patience is way too high.

Unfortunately, mostly true.  Snail has dropped off the face of the Earth (again), and I haven't heard much from Dilmah outside of GD in months.  I've made a little bit of progress on what I was doing, but it's inconsistent and qualitatively not where I think it should be.

I certainly agree with your logic, and it would make a lot of sense to wait until Act 4 is completed, but! We haven't really gotten our fix in about 2 whole years! Were getting a little jumpy and tweaky hahaha

Yeah, FS is something I'd like to get onto, but at the moment the fact that my computer is now 5 years old is making running things on the higher end of the scale a little difficult. I'd be really keen to get it back off the ground, actually, but this week and part of next is pretty tough for me, assignments-wise.

I'll take a look over the internal again and get myself back up to speed in the meantime.
