Title: The end has come
Post by: Guardian on May 30, 2001, 05:14:00 pm

For the past 8 months I have been working on Without Remorse.  We went through story changes and staff changes and I still moved it forward.

But now there are 2 reasons why WR will not happen.

1) - Staff is gone.  Due to unmentionable circumstances I lost a good portion of my staff.  They belonged to a squad that I felt I had to leave for reason I will not bring here.  Hence they left.  I still had others but real life took over for them.  I still have one staff member but we cannot do this on our own.

2) - Lost interest in game.  That is the main reason.  I know that I could find ppl to help me.  But when I no longer play the game and find it hard to work on the missions, I know it is time to move on.
I have have been making maps for Delta Force Land Warrior and that seems to be the way I am going.

I still have the missions and I probably will release some of them one at a time to Volition Archives.

Thx for all the help and I am sorry for this news.

You know what to do now, right?

Release all material you've come up with to the general public. If you're going out, don't take all the work you've done with you and let it go to waste.  (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/biggrin.gif)

Too bad though.

I don't know...if I were in the same position, I wouldn't want to release my work...on account that it wasn't finished and it wasn't in the best possible form.

True, but if you release it, there is at least a chance someone else will finish it.

That's bad. We're loosing campaign after campaign...

Isn't there any way you could reconsider?

Post by: Guardian on May 31, 2001, 03:55:00 am

OK,

here is the deal:

Instead of releasing the thing all at once.  I will release it 3 missions at a time.

It will be like a serial.

That probably diminishes it but hey, it's better that not at all.

Thx guys  (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/smile.gif)

Hope you reconsider. Come on, you can get more staff members from somewhere surely.

Sorry to hear it. Maybe after some time without working on the project you may be interested again.

Good luck with futere project even if it isn't for FS (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/smile.gif)

Good plan. I like episodical missions myself...

I wouldn't complain if the missions came one at a time, as long as they come.  (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/biggrin.gif)

The only problem is that it will seem kinda choppy.

You see, some missions are kind of filler and some are very important.

But plan on a 3 mission release this weekend.
