This is nice. So we now have two competing CM?

[Kot]

Competition is always good.

No.  We have one CM, and one Heretic.

If you don't know which is which, you're not supporting the true CM and as such are one of the heretics and must be purged.

If you do know which is which, you are in possession of heretical knowledge and must be purged.

*shrug*
The C++ rewrite might surpass it mechanically eventually, but that's a long way away and Journier and Thy still have a full game.
Hope they aren't kicking themselves over every holiday they've taken since.

[Flow]

Not directly trying to compete, I expect they'll end up as very different games and as pointed out it's going to be some time before my version can even be called a game. Just enjoying a hobby project I've been intending to do since the vbcoder days. I'm not even very well versed in the current Chapter Master mechanics, can barely play it due to the font/colour choices as I'm near-blind, but I always enjoyed the idea of it way back when in the /tg/ threads so I'll likely be doing my own version of it.

It's likely to look the same though, my art skills are near to none and there's a wealth of current Chapter Master sprites for me to use for now.

Chances are I'm going to pay attention to the version that is a full C++ re-write. Seems like continuing to work on the GML version will net diminishing returns once the other is live.

I'm wondering if the rewrite is going to be all hush-hush and "Only certain people can download it"

[Tack]

Flow's chill.
Doubt.

Unless you got mixed up.
In which case Journier's also chill.
So Doubt.

[sprinkled chariot]

Doubt is first way on road to heresy.

I'm wondering if the rewrite is going to be all hush-hush and "Only certain people can download it"

Why would it be..?

I'll be releasing it at the pace I make it, and at no point is it ever going to be charged for or accepting donations for. I don't really fancy getting in GW's bad books, and it's not why I'm doing it. Can't promise I'll focus on it anything resembling full-time, but I'll get there eventually. This week, for instance, I have to focus on other work projects, but I expect this weekend I'll get a few hours to finish up chapter management and chapter creation.

[Journier]

Literally the only reason flow or anyone is working on this is for the community and probably for some ability to see this game move forward.

Congrats flow on the partial rewrite.

We are just  "fixing up the code" in the GML to better make it modifiable for the community, and easier to comprehend for "people" so that others can take the reigns more easily to continue the project so it amounts to "something special".

Instead of dying as is or partially completed 3 years from now with 50 contributors to 100 lines of code. all having no clue as to what the previous person did.

That happens so god damn much it annoys me with games like this.

Destroy the heretics.

Got this after sending two Scouts down to a heretic planet to die deliberately to make contact with CSM lord.

[SkeletusAurelius]

How exactly does it survive AFTER it died?

[sprinkled chariot]

That is because you did not follow the codex astartes.
