Title: know about those?
Post by: starlord on March 15, 2008, 11:33:59 am
I went to game warden and saw several campaign names here:

Pathways
origins
mercenary

Have they been released, are they dead or just dormant?

Advice awaited, thanks in advance.

Shadowwolf has been MIA for years now, so Mercenaries and Origins are essentially dead. I worked on Mercenaries, and we were honestly nowhere near releasing a demo.

I also worked on Pathways, which has died due to a lack of attention by Cobra, Ransom and myself. Pity too, the demo was nearly done. We did release a (rather good) video though. The link should be here in one of the RELEASE threads or at Game Warden.

Sequel to MT.

Geez, a sequel to MT?!? In that case the MT team could take care of it...

Why?!?

As it is, MT is an organization nightmare which is the main reason it is being held back. Add Origins into the equation and God will cry.

Organization nightmare or not, if Origins is a sequel to MT only the MT team can take care of it.

On the other hand, sometimes the opposite is true; sometimes more work gets people to actually start working. The reason they were slacking was because they kept putting off a little bit of work. Not sure how this applies to MT... they are kind of ... relaxed.

I'm pretty sure I've still got it somewhere.

We actually did finish it, as I recall. It didn't get released because someone decided we should completely redo like half the missions for reasons I still don't understand

I think the decision to not release it was mine. I was having second thoughts about some of them (even though I think I FREDed 99% of the demo).

If you still have the missions and they don't have any blatant bugs you can see then feel free to release them. There's probably not going to be any insurance on them. :p

What about this one I heard about? Project phoenix?

I'm especially looking forward to this one as It's one of the rare ones (one) willing you to fight the shivans for the last time (ultimately destroying them).
