Yeah was gonna say it'd last until the first person pulled out.

Honestly I've finally had my optimism crushed for this game and am now of the opinion that it's a dead project.
So I won't enjoy half-assed attempts to get my hopes up. Fool me once, shame on Duke. Fool me twice, shame on me.


That does look pretty good though re: Potato's shots.

This is such a weird project for me - i had time and no inclination for a long time, then inclination and no time while doing initial development and then again no inclination when I looked into the legal side.

Now here I am again, excited to do it but no time to fit it in between contracts and going back to school. It's a funny old world.

Potato - I heard rumblings about a Godot version months ago, was that you or someone else?

[LoSboccacc]

Godot has recently been improved a lot. still hard to make complex user interfaces tho, so everything as usual. ppl don't really appreaciate how much effort it takes to write menus, popups, inventories, buttons, statuses and drilldowns across a complex game

Vect's dick, what is happening ?

The usual. A total stranger finds this thread for CM, parachutes in then starts a good ol' freak out for zero reason and causes a flurry of conversation in a thread that hasn't gotten regular posts in months.

Not the first time this has happened, nor will it be the last.

Although the consistent editting of posts to redacted status is certainly delightful. Always enjoy a poster who can stand by what they say, AND who continues to post in the thread.

I propose that we all propose different remakes, and then fail to follow through.   First one to actually release a game is a Heretic and must be burninated.

To get things started:  I've been meaning to learn some Python, maybe first project will be CM.

Python? HERETIC.
We must only code in https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brainfuck - the true coding language of the Emperor.

I propose for a true CM experience we all have to go to our nearest police station and confess to the crime of 'copyright theft of the machine god's own blueprints, stolen from the dunes of Mars', just to make sure we feel the right amount of legal pressure. I will then send C&D's to all game developers (current, past and future), claiming they have stolen the idea of a 'game' and 'fun', and demand their immediate arrest. The judge will then sentence them to be be taken to GitMo and locked away for the good of all the Emperors children.

I will then promptly claim that I have a finished version (in full 3D VR no less) but it is coded to my exact DNA, so it is only accessible by me. Sorry. It's real though. Promise.

FOR THE EMPEROR!

[puke]

I've started by sending a C&D to myself, just to head that off.

[Flow]

To really reach our final form we need to send GW a C&D to get them to stop making 40k as its too similar to CM.

[flyingpotato]

Nevermind.

[puke]

It's okay potato, we're making fun of ourselves not you.

[Gunner-Chan]

RIP flyingpotato.

I suppose he finally flew into a microwave.

So a space marine walks into a bar and drags out the bartender, shoots him point blank in the head with a bolt pistol, and proceeds to the next establishment. *rimshot

Good lord, if I knew how to do that I would have done it in a fit of drunken pique years ago. 

Next you'll tell me that I have the ability to alter my family and employment status.  Are you trying to destroy human society?

Serious for a moment:  This is a neat thread. I applaud all the effort people have put into the various games being prototyped here.  I think it is regretful that Potato didn't feel welcomed by our snarky banter, and I think that he probably had a great thing going.

I don't really care if his game (or any of the others) ever got made, I enjoy reading about the effort and the development process more than anything else.

Another defeat for the Imperium!

Pour one out for our fallen homie.
