I just visited the MindGames page via Goob's icon. I really got hyped, and saw the last news was almost 5 years ago. is it dead, or what..?

We're definitely not dead. We just don't seem to be moving much at the moment.

My icon? :confused: I'm not a member of MindGames.
-
:wtf: well, whatever, GET DEM CAMPAIGNS DONE! ;) Cant wait to play SA and MG
-

Yeah. I did wonder about that one.
-
Perhaps it was you, kara?
-
Maybe it's Kara's desperation method of trying to recruit new staff. You wake up one morning, you have a Mind Games icon. Thus you figure you must be part of the team and immediately mail Kara for orders. Might work. Worth a shot.
-
:lol:
I'll have to remember that one. :D
-
still hibernating? maybe if we whack kara with a big stick he'll wake up...

Actually it's rather odd. I just get all settled down and back into the MindGames FREDding groove and then something happens to me that drags me off to do something else leaving me no time for MindGames.
This has happened three times now with the last being about three weeks ago, just as I'd gotten back into some serious FREDding. It's almost as if there was some strange mysterious force that didn't want the story of the Starborn getting out....... :nervous:
-
The universe is against you. That's normal. But if you don't go back to work no matter if lightning struck you 3 times in a row, I'll personally call in my little friends ( *shows the 'Lucy Fleet of Doom TM'* ).

I'm not flaming, but when will we teach noobs to NOT make these sorts of threads? For christ's sake, they all even have the same names!
Seriously, it'll be out when it's out. Either sign on and help, or wait for it to be ou- augh.
It takes a long time to do these sorts of things. They only have about 8 people, and they have RL to worry about.
They can only probably devote an hour or two every day to this. And also, they're stuck with the same situation as the blackwater ops have. Everytime they get something done, they have to restart because SCP has gotten some new, important feature. And they have to make it again so that its not some out-of date piece of s***. Sorry, but thats how it is.

I hope you know how mature that is coming from you. (that's a compliment)

He posted on multiple forums? And here was me feeling all special. :(

Agreed.
People, people. Do keep in mind that anyone who does anything FSO/SCP related does it completely voluntarily. No one gets paid for doing this. Some people have school/studies that take time. Some have to work in order to afford the luxury of roof and eating. When, or if, they have time, they'll work on their FreeSpace projects. But they can't promise anything. And no one can complain because that doesn't help in any way and the people working on projects do not owe anything to anyone.

strange, isn't it? most people (not trying to insult, but its wierd) seem to think that once sombody says they're going to make a mod, the first person thinks that it should be out a month later. and if the modder has to stop working for a week because his sister died, people start to think it's dead...
but like lobo said, everyone has RL to consider. and that's more important than being a sci-fi geek. enjoy having a life. a lot of people that follow star trek, BDG, SW, etc, don't. :blah:
besides, it takes... what? 30 hours total to make a polished mission? and most people can only devote an hour a day at best, four maybe on weekends...
for now, go through all the released mods. just because it doesn't have a subforum doesn't mean it doesn't exist.
-
I found out a small trick about mods- whenever you ask when it'll get released, or call it "dead", all you get is flamed. But you can get a good estimate by asking how much is left to do.
-
All my posts seem to start flame wars.....
And it hasnt been weeks without activity, its been months. Like i said in the MT forum, no one expects modders to be able to work on a project if they have other work to do, but other members of the team could possibly work on parts of it.
You gotta try not rely on 1 person to do all the major work and hold the project together.

All my posts seem to start flame wars.....
Oh, I wonder why. :rolleyes:

After years of experimenting, I've found the perfect method: sit down, be quiet and wait. These projects will come out eventually. "Bumping" threads does not help since it will more likely make sure that if a person was going to continue working on a project, he sees the "bump" and then has to spend his modding time answering the age-old questions with the same "It's done when it's done. Jeez..." reply.
Have patience.

It wouldn't be Hard Light Productions if a project died.
At the HLP, projects don't die. They hibernate. Forever.
Like immortal bears on a world mired beneath a thousand year winter.
