This thread has little purpose, but each day that I pop up to check on the forums, there are less and less updates.

This is a mod I *don't* want to die out, and if I had money, I'd gladly give it if only to motivate the creators to keep working on either 1.8 or 2.0. Some lovely, final release.

But 'till then, keep me and others appeased with telling us, workers of BW, what you guys are working on...if anything.

The last thing I want is silence here =|

most mods almost never have small updates posted (example: KF stayed quite for almost a year, Hollow moon hasnt had an update for over a year).

it would be nice to see more updates here.

Well for one thing BW is a special mod, with a special devs. They are the one of the only mods that i have ever fallowed whos devs are almost always checking up and give info and feedback every week, more than once a week, like 3 or 4 days out of it. The only other mod i've known to do this was HaloUT (now inactive until UT2k7 which will turn the mod to Project Spartan7). Just read the threads morter, you'd know if the devs weren't working, cause there would most likely be a few threads more members screaming for them to start again and they would post it in the main menu.

Don't worry, I'm sure RS isn't going to die, at least not for a few years *prays*.

You probably don't realise how much work it is to create a mod like this, the devs are working very hard every day to get the 2.0 out as soon as possible. When two persons are modelling, skinning, animating, programming and testing the weapons in alpha stages; it does take time.

Just be patient, BW isn't going anywhere any time soon. :)

I'm not saying for them to hurry up, but they're not exactly neglected, attention wise!

I'm just showing my eagerness. I apologize if you saw that as impatience =D

Well, you do sound impatient none the less.
I don't care about status reports, as long as they are posting here tells me that they are still working on it. Then one day we'll see a news bit that says it is getting close to beta stages.

Don't worry about it. They are working on it regularly. It takes time to write up progress logs and by the time they got it up it'd probably be outdated. :)

Argh. Do you guys know XS Vehicles mod? They have a new beta coming out for what seems like five months now. The painful thing is that they still occasionally post updates, and I check that site almost every day. Alas, none of them has yet to be the beta I am so eager for...

I haven't tried XS Vehicles but I've been keeping my eyes on it, is there a whole package I can download? A ZIP that includes all the vehicles they've made so far?

Post subject:  So um...progress report?
Yeah, it should be on the home page, think its called XS Beta 6.5.2. Its under the pics on the home page. :)

That version has the Condor, Shock Chucker, Lightning Tank, Spider Mech, and the Cruiser so far.

The filesize is surprisingly small. Which is nothing but a good thing. 8)

Hey Morter,

The BW devs are hard at work, working on the 2.0 release. This release is still far from ready. They have been working on some of the stuff for a while now, but it takes time.
I can assure you the wait will be worth it :)

It is only two people doing the actual development work, so it takes time, especialy when they have real life work to deal with, as well as sponsoring requests (which brings in much needed money) to complete.

BUT the 2.0 release is expected long, long before xmas.
It will, as usual, go beta to a few selected people a while before the release, so that the public release has been tested quite well, to make sure the majority of bugs are out before the public gets it. As usual, the beta will be done quietly behind the scenes (our beta testers are normaly sworn to secrecy), so as to make it a wonderful and fullfilling suprize when the public gets it.

So, not too long in the future you will start seeing some announcements :)

ok.. i'm here :D

well.. we're working toward 2.0.. there was a slump, when we had to work at the ISP, but we're back now.. We're working on a sponsored pack, then its nothing but 2.0.. hopefully out soon :)

again, thanks to all our fans here..u guys do give us alot of support, and it helps.. its always good to know, that someone out there appreciates our hard work :)

following 2.0, RS should be doing some very nice things, as we start to experiment into diffirent areas.. theres only 2 of us, and that makes things tough.. our machines are dated, cash is tight, our dial-up connections is slow and expensive, etc.. we'll stick around for a long time, coz our only chance of getting anywhere in life, is to make games :D and we'll certainly not abandon our community, before our community abandons us! (please dont) ;)

Hundreds of people, or even thousands, love the mod. The number of members don't represent the amount of downloaders. 8)

yeah.. :)

just progress has benn slow over the past month :(

we're picking up now though.. being in an office for so long, kinda killed our creativity.. its returning though, starting with sounds 8)

Post subject:  So um...progress report?
OMG did i just hear you say sounds? Awesome! As Bjossi mentioned somewhere before, they need to be better, even though they are already awesome.

I just hope that v2.0 has some Skirth weapons or maybe if we are at all luckly a Cyron (don't no how its spelt) weapon. Would be fun.

Don't confuse audio quality with audio, the quality is very good but the audio itself needs work.
You call it amazing when you hear a G5 rocket blow up and there is no sense of power even with a 150 watt subwoofer set to 100% bass?

If UT99 had the graphics of today but the classic gameplay, it'd The Perfect Game. 8)

Theres no such thing as a perfect game...

Anyway, yes, we are still working and no, we don't intend to abandon our mod or community. Development was hammered by a month of office work, but have picked up the pace already now. WE are working on the next big BW release and want that out soon, that should be pretty awesome. BUT, before that, there may be some little...
