Interesting will be the word. I hope they'll be able to manage the various factions well, so they're not too confusing in their multiplicity. That's happened in other campaigns before.
- Eddie Kent Woo, Setekh, Steak (of Steaks), AWACS. Seriously, just pick one.
HARD LIGHT PRODUCTIONS, now V3.0. Bringing Modders Together since January 2001.
THE HARD LIGHT ARRAY. Always makes you say wow.

1) Thesis
2) Other coursework
3) Faculty student government stuff
4) Meetings
5) The pub
6) A friends house
7) The multimedia lab
8) Another pub
9) Playing Pacific Fighters
10) Watching Battlestar Galactica, Enterprise, and Stargate SG-1

They all blurr together...

We don't really have a schedule so its hard to say if were ahead or behind.  We're doing a pretty good job.

We may finish before the sun explodes...yes yes :D

We test them in order, yes. But we're not telling you what mission number we're currently on :p

I will say that we're about 1/3rd through the campaign, and testing would be smoother if FRED2 open was more reliable than Steam...

I don't see what the people are talking about.

Even after we're done with testing them all, we're still going to have to comb through them, at least two more times.

That'd mean we're done with about 1/9th :D

Not to be rude and disrespective or anything (this is just my own personal opinion), but the plausability of the Inferno campaign story, is proportional to its MOD quantity.

As far as this campaign goes.....urr to me it seems like only four people have been working on it.

Fourty missions.....quite a bit of mods (not a collosal amount, but mind you, there are a good deal of them)...

Yeah, maybe it seems like a stretch time-wise, but it should all be worth it in the end (depending on what the end is... right now there is a lot of potential for a campaign that blows the main FS2 one out of the Water..)

 
Time required for any project is a function of complexity over time inputed.

Draw your own conclusions.

Take your time, BWO team :) The demo was awesome and 40 missions of that quality will blow the main FS2 campaign out of the Water :)

(but plz, finish it b4 i die)

I'd like to finish it soon.  I know its been years and I probably should appologize but since I started work on it I've been drifting quite a bit.

Of the original team, only I remain and Bobboau too (almost original :D).  He's done his part for quite some time and done a great job of it.  Kellan and Dynamo's legacies both remain too.

But we've picked up Ace who was always good at campaigns and he's done a fine job here.  Also BD who's a beta testing fiend...its very good that way.  Challenges us...we challenge him.  Its very good.

I am for the most part at a distance at the moment.  I think that will sort of stay that way for a while.  I'm busy finishing my degree and that sort of thing....trying to figure out my life.  When I started, I was trying to figure out what university I was going to go to.  A life time ago.

Anyways, yes I want it done soon.  But I want the missions, if nothing else, to be top notch.  If there's a BWO V2.0 with enhanced MODs and that sort of thing done by the same or separate people down the road....I'd be happy to see that too.  But guaranteed that you guys will get about 40 excellent quality missions complete with characters, large quantities of dialogue, and and very cohesive and true to canon story that you will rarely find elsewhere.

Most of all, you can have fun by playing the campaign twice with drastically different outcomes diverging about half way through.

Give it some time....we'll see how itworks out.

The difference between BWO and Inferno is that they used to be fast and slowed down.  We're moving at the same speed as we used to...maybe faster.

I just hope that the FSOpen build at the time of BWO completion is more stable for me then it is right now. (i just get crashes)

But i can wait.

We do like to talk and I'd rather tell you guys what I'm thinking and feeling rather than just shut up and not say anything.
