Me and UglyPants were wondering, what do you guys have planned for after 2.0, anyways? I know you plan on moving towards PA, maybe making some bonus packs, do some other stuff, but how are you going to start Project Archon? With new gametypes perhaps?

Just please God keep BW in mut form as long as you can before going to a TC.

They are the God's of mods. :p

ok.. lets see:

firstly UP.. BW will stay in mutator, and TC.. although certain features cannot appear in mutators.. but it will stay, or at least we intend it to..

but after 2.0, we want a simple weapon pack, and maybe a buying mutator.. not official yet..
learn vehicles, skins, players..

PA is something long term.. so the likely-hood, is we'll make a broader BW into our game.. should start as a TC, and hopefully publisher backing along the way :)

of course, other stuff should appear along the way ;)

You have said that many times, but you still haven't said why TC is a bad thing. They can have all the default/custom gametypes, all the mutators, and some TC-only features; so I ask, why are you against it?

I was wondering that too...

Look at Chaos for example. Thats a total conversion, yet you can use pretty much all of the stuff from regular UT2004 that you want, and still play Chaos.

well for one, i wouldn't be able to kill all those Jackels, Grunts or Elite HaloUT models i have :p Plus i've just had bad experiences with TCs (way to many crashes) and overall its still the same game but with a new gun or two and a cool model.

cool, you guys should someday consider an attachment system for the guns.

Yes you would.

Crashes aren't related to the TC unless the coder did something that causes it.

Yep. You can still use everything you have in regular UT2004 with TCs, assuming they want to let them be used.

never really knew that. a well, TCs don't sound so bad now.

our TC, would basically EXPAND on BW.. think of it as adding more stuff, not goin backwards.. maybe some HUD, nice menu, possibly some music.. then organise everything good, and do stuff that a mutator limits.. in the end, u still have BW, just a bit bigger.. and a mut shouldnt be any trouble to maintain.. :)

Attachment system is something we want at some point...

Author:  Captain Xavious [ Mon Nov 27, 2006 5:10 pm ]
Post subject:  Plans for after 2.0?

Attachment system is something I'm really looking forward to.
Is the attachments going to be on pretty much all the guns, or just the assault rifles? Or is it too early to tell?

Author:  Mr.UglyPants [ Tue Nov 28, 2006 1:46 pm ]
Post subject:  Plans for after 2.0?

to make the best of it it should be for almost all the guns (maybe not the bonus weapons but i dunno), so as your not stuck with only upgrading the assult rifles, your also able to upgrade ie attach other things and or internal upgrades to to any of the ballistic/ skirth/ energy weapons.

I have a question. How long do you plan on just adding more weapons before you move on to expanding BW in other ways? Will development of new weapons mostly stop after the simple weapons bonus pack? Can we expect to see any more complex/ heavy weapons in the future? Will you set aside a little time to concentrate on sponsor requests plus a few of the more popular weapon suggestions?

ect ect... You get the idea. I just want to know how many new toys I can look foward to in the future :)

I definitely wouldn't expect to see an end to the weapons coming out very soon. I assume they'll make the simple weapons, and probably a few weapons they've wanted take make for themselves, and probably a few new weapons that will have a need created for them when more developement is made, but I'd expect the majority of new weapons to be created from sponsers, and at somewhat regular intervals.

They'll have a lot more time to do more things after 2.0 is done and over with.

Post subject:  Plans for after 2.0?

I doubt that is the way. You see, BW is just a mod, RS want to get into the industry; so I'd say 2.0 will be the last big release and maybe we'll get some bonus stuff from time to time after that, but not forever.

They need to move on if they want a chance in this harsh business, with the big ones like iD, Valve or Epic. !mistrust

Thats more along the lines of I meant to say, but I would not expect to see them completely stop making weapons too soon, though.

I am fairly sure they'll be making sponsered weapons as often as possible without hindering their progress too much, considering they are making money off of that. ;)

Post subject:  Plans for after 2.0?

It'd just be a hobby I think, the money they get for sponsoring will dissapear into the endless stream of cash they get for real game developement. 8)

hmm.. tough one.. we like our fans, and our fans deserve weapons :D

what we plan, is moving BW into a TC format, which will also serve as a publisher prototype.. that way, it is public release, but also a chance for the right guys to see the stuff :)

sponsoring, and our own wants, will appear as well.. dont give up hope, we wont be stopping anytime soon 8)
