Because we do not want to offer that choice. Naturally, anybody can modify Standoff for themselves, and play it any way they like, with any models they like. But when they download Standoff and play it without modifications, we want them to experience the game exactly as we wanted it to look...

Standoff is definitely not going to change. Here's the thing: Standoff has something more important than high poly counts: it has visual coherence. While their poly count varies from model to model, and while undeniably Eder improved his modelling over the course of the project, so that the...

Ugh, graphic novel style :p. I think precisely the huge advantage of working with a game engine is that you can, with relative ease, produce scenes with reasonably animated 3d people.

Say, I wonder if anybody had ever successfully completed a head-to-head campaign. That would be pretty time-consuming... :) For me, Armada and Proving Grounds are right up there among my favouritest WC products - among other things, because Armada was actually the very first WC game I played...

Well, I know there's more than enough talent for the graphical side of things. The big gap is in management and implementation. Find me someone who wants to head such a project, find a couple of others who actually want to handle the mission implementation, so that I can sit back and concentrate...

That's a very significant part of the problem, even if my particular self was 20 year old rather than 16. UE was a tremendous achievement given our limitations, but that doesn't make it great. For me, what that means, though, is not so much that I'm embarrassed to go back to it, but rather that...

I seriously, really wish I could deliver on both - or at least on the upgrade. I just don't know how that can happen, though. I'm constantly overstretched between numerous different tasks, projects and endeavours. Worst of all, I must be frank and admit that if I had the sort of drive and...

Aww, man, I should be so pleased that after all these years, people still recall UE, and some even want to get an updated version of it after all these years ;).

I'm very, very strongly opposed to two-factor authentication. I utterly hate the security obsession you see everywhere these days. There are sites that require high security - bank accounts and the like. And then there are sites that require minimum security - like the CIC. It's like a...

I dunno if best thread ever, but definitely it's an interesting detail to catch. Back in those early internet days of Privateer, Salman Rushdie, like practically any famous author, was a faceless name to me. So, while I certainly did catch the general analogy between him and Toth, I had no idea...

Well, better 12 years late than never, definitely!

Wow! Now that is an amazing story. While obviously there are many games out there that were a few patches short of completion, and their developers decided not to bother, this is the only case I know of where the developer actually outright said it, apologised, and offered a refund - at least...

I... don't recall. I don't think anybody did, and certainly my files don't hold anything like that, but there may be something I'm not recalling.

Hey! Very neat. I've certainly never seen that image before (and it is amazingly adorable!), and in fact, I'm pretty sure the FM Towns version is virtually uncharted territory as far as modding or even file extraction goes. I for one will be extremely interested in seeing and hearing what else...

I think we need voices, full stop :p.

Mmm. And lost to the ages, like all the other almost-finished-but-unpublished materials of that era? It is such an incredible shame that this stuff wasn't archived. I don't blame anyone, because after thirty years, and all these structural changes, it was really quite amazing how much Origin...

I'm being a bit silly here, mind you, so don't take me too seriously, but - I was totally disinterested in Star Citizen before all you cool kids were being disinterested :p. Now, to be serious: is feature creep killing the project? Has it been going too long? Well, in the same way that I get...

True, I would have thought a "Strike" CD with Strike Commander, Pacific Strike, and Wings of Glory would have been a very natural package. However, I suppose Pacific Strike wasn't worth the effort - there was a speech pack produced for it, but I think that only included the in-flight voiceovers...

Funny, even though I'd read the Confed Handbook, I didn't remember anything about the Krant being used as a dive-bomber until I looked up its entry on the WCPedia. The author had a nice idea there, adding a bunch of completely new facts that yet somehow still fitted with the ship and how it had...

We shouldn't be too harsh on the Krant. There's every indication that by the time we saw it in WC1, it was on the edge of retirement (and what a replacement the Hhriss was...). A decade or so earlier, fighting different opponents, the Krant may have appeared much more powerful.
