What do you think will happen to FS and HLP in 5 to 10 years?
-
It will be forgotten by everyone save for the few people left on Sector Game when HLP goes down. Derek Smart will return then lose interest (again) and the n00bs of today will become the admins of tomorrow. Machina Terra will be released circa 2015, provided the world has not blown up 3 years prior.

People will strill ask how to add ships to fred no doubt.... :lol:

That, and "I get an error report saying "cannot find openal32.dll" what to do :( ;) :yes:". As usual.
-
I think that it will be going strong, albeit not as strong, due to the work of a select few individuals. The tech will have kept up with present day (nearly) and it will be pretty shiny.
-
It will become the national sport of Tomdonia (one of the larger splinter-states of the former United States of America).
-
I nominate myself president of Tomdonia..........
Also i believe HLP and FS will need 3d upgrades for the new holo-screens that will comew out pre-2015 as seen in back to the future 2... :yes:
-
I nominate myself president of Tomdonia..........
Republican or Democrat?
-
Ummm, what party is best......
Hmmm..........
Republic, that way i can have an army of clone-troopers like the film :yes:
-
Can I be Vice President?
-
No.
-
You're Canadian, you can't do ****.
(to affect Tomdonian politics)
-
Why ever not?
-
Hehe. While you argue over who get's what position, I get in the lead and beat you up with my communism.

[Makaan-voice]Children of HLP, you are beaten,
This thread is now under my control,
Get back on topic, and discuss it normally,
I have posted to keep this thread from getting locked,
Drop the off-topic thing, and I will not call in for a moderator.[/Makaan-voice]

Oh ****.
I remember when I did that!
-
Back to topic?
-
I dunno why, but I think that HLP community will become nearly non-existant in 5-10 years. But FS2 SCP will look awesome, have a lot of great mods released, and etc. But that the community went their own ways, because of new space-sims or something ( holographic PCs for example ).
-
Videogames are silly. Back on topic.
Tomdonia is now filling cabinet positions, if anyone is interested.
The following position(s) are now seeking qualified applicants:
- Chief Overseer of Government Pork Management
- Chief Overseer of the Chief Overseer of Government Pork Management
- Chief Overseer of the Chief Overseer of the Chief Overseer of Government Pork Management
- Guy that holds the drink tray
- Assistant Vice Chief Overseer of Government Pork Management
-
I call "Guy that holds the drink tray"!
-
I call "Guy that drinks". (surely this wasn't the topic?)
-
I'm Vice President!!!! :(
-
It's too good to call this even the opposite of the topic. :doubt:
-
I call "Guy that drinks". (surely this wasn't the topic?)
An unspoken prerequisite for any government work (har har).
In all seriousness, a bit of diversity is needed here, folks. We've got 316,121 'guys that hold drink trays' and only 3 cabinet ministers. It is damaging to national prestige.
-
can i be vice war advisor to the president? or maybe a commander? i've spent more time studying world war II and such than i have sleeping and eating combined.
-
I just got this huge deja vu. I think I should get some sleep...
-
Not being funny, but I certainly hope, for the sake of the coders, that this is all tied up and a finished project by then, at least as far as the SCP is concerned.
As for the site, it will probably still exist, but I see the format changing after the release of the final SCP engine, with FS2 taking a back-seat role and the Engine itself taking the main role, quite possibly as a generic development tool for space-based games.
FS2 will fade, I suspect, before the SCP does, since the engine itself can be put to a host of uses, not just Freespace campaigns.
-
I think that's likely.
BtRL, TBP, and WC are the harbingers of change.
-
frankly, i don't ever want SCP to stop getting updated. with out the engine updates, this all would wither and die. Besides, i like you guys. You treat me a lot better than people in RL.
-
You treat me a lot better than people in RL.
Get out more and learn to properly interact with your own species, you thundering bore.
I'll wait here. After you prove that it can be done, I'll follow.
-
Besides, i like you guys. You treat me a lot better than people in RL.
Quiet, you.
It would be wonderful if the game engine continued to exist in various forms, even if FS2 dies away. But who knows what will happen. Only time will tell, hmm.
-

*snip*
no, it's just people don't like me because of my A.D.D... and my friends, unlike me, actually have OTHER friends, and are in boyscouts and stuff...
-
Whenever I try to sleep, I worry about all the other things in the world in different timezones and whatnot that are not sleeping. This profound lack of order keeps me up all night. The lack of sleep makes me crazy, which makes me paranoid, which makes me unable to sleep.
But I like this place, because it is more or less constant. If a project actually released something, I'd leave.
-
It kinda feels like this place is locked in Stasis or Limbo...its gonna drop out sooner or later though... though later would be preferable to sooner.

The Future's not set, there is no fate but what we make for ourselves
If we are to take this teaching by J. Connor literally, then we are the driving force behind FreeSpace and the HLP. I personally think that as long as there are people dedicated to this game as they have been in the last 10 years or so, then the game will forever flourish. New campaigns will be added, new craft designed, and in 2335, I get blown to smithereens...
-
And in 2335, FreeSpace fans will be arrested for making a damn bad future. Or FS2 will be classified as a weapon of mass destruction...
-
I know what will happen. Microsoft will create Windows Vista Rebuild Type 2 Ultimate Final v9.62 2015, which will break all compatibility with FS2. All computer games will be created by Microsoft, because nobody else can comprehend how to make programs for Windows Vista Rebuilt Type 2 Ultimate Final v9.52 2015.
-
I can see something like that actually happening.
MS: "Multi-faceted-Octet Cores are the future!"
Programmers: "May god blind us all."
-
Noone would use Windows if that happens..
How're the Linux and Mac OS versions doing?
They do have a future.
BTW- I'm staying here for long I guess, I learned how to model because I wanted a new ship, I learned how to UV map because I wanted it to have a windshield.
Fast forward a couple months and now I'm creating a new species. I'm also learning how to be a project leader, a storywriter, mission script creator, tester, and who knows, maybe Fredder soon.
As long as there's something interesting to learn and do here, there will always be someone willing to sacrifice some free time for his/her satisfaction, and the community will stay alive. And judging by the amount of new ppl who try to modify FS SCP, the future of HLP isn't as dark as some of us might expect
-
Bengaltiger pm me some details re: stuff you want done and i'll reply tomorrow. I'm away from my pc now.
-
I'll be an admin ;) <stares off into space dreaming of corruption and evil and changing his title> ;7
-
I'll be Supervisory Administrator. Or Operations Manager. Same thing. :D
-
I call religious leader! I am the prophet Irkle, a decibel of Raptor Jesus!
-
Ban that! Ban that!
-
You can't, not until Windows Vista Rebuilt Type 2 Ultimate Final v9.52 2015 comes out.
-
Don't make me use the power of 150 odd smileys on you :P
-
142, actually. And that would be a bad idea.
-
This is getting out of control...
-
Yeah. Lock please.
-
Before you lock can i put in my smileys?
-
NO!!
-

-
can i do it for him?
NO!!

tinfoil: The new Titan.
-

Edit: what did titan do?
-
Nothing, he just has the reputation of a spaz.
-

But you're acting like a 12 year old.
