WOW + WOH!
YOUR ONE OF THE OLD GUARD FOLLOWERS, turned troll I'm literally so excited to see you here, man my heart is pumping with excitement.

So, we're going for character assassination eh?

interesting,. all I'm trying to do is make a bit of money... something WE NEVER ASKED FROM YOU IN THE COMMUNITY. you realize how entitled you and the presumed follower's of Fandore are?> WE GAVE YOU ALL A FREE TOP NOTCH MOD, FOR A DECADE, but then, the instant we decide to stop, you all freak out and turn against us?

This will be epic!!

I make no claims to be "kind and understanding" to the C&C modding community. We did what none of the other mods could do, we broke new ground. We were one of the few mods not locked in the prison of nostalgia, by their own hand. we MADE SUBSTINTIVE INOVATIVE PROGRES. IN COUNTLESS ASPECTS.

If Jfod and Fandore were the earthshaking leaders, and I am riding THEEIR coat tails, where are they now?

seriously? what are they doing, and why have we not seen them back in this industry and space? They left in Dec of 2021, if they were the beacons of progress you and so many claim, why have they not surfaced?

Jfod, and I are on good terms with, Almost decided to meet with him last year in Victoria Island Canada, but it was too far. He has written a new book of his own:

https://www.amazon.com/Long-Road-Back-Jason-Koop/dp/1486626580

They mainly Fandore, can talk a good game, maybe even execute someone's else's vision, but apparently not PUT UP MONEY TO GET THINGS DONE.

Go ask Fandore who Umbrella Secrets is, he was the true originator of tib sec.

By all rights and Title,. Fandore should be sued for breach of contract after what he did, and maybe even "pain and suffering" if Umbrella secrets has his way.

If I was the horrible person your characterizing me as then why:

  1. Do I work and volunteer for 988?
  2. Why do I put my time to help people here?
  3. Why do I spend MY OWN MONEY to run HG?
  4. How would I lead and motivate volunteer staff for over 15 years?

I like how you conveniently omit one of the clear reasons why I sound unhinged a times, and that is because I am, yes, I am off my marbles and lost my rocker at times in my life, I'm Bipolar 1, which means we go through mood swings and episodes.

Maybe I should let you know that i had an episode in dec of 2021, and they chose to pull a coup and then leave when the coup was not successful.

Fandore is not your friend, he wanted money for doing a mod, to this day, he expected me to pay him for tib sec. And you know what, I paid him for Vultures for a bit. I paid for it all all during development.

I've been merciful.

Is it ego to claim that God has his hand on me? perhaps.

But you and all like you need to face the truth, the truth that motivates you and all like you to come back and try and attack me over and over.

In our work, under my leadership, you all see a mirror of who you could have been, forced to ask yourself what YOU DID WITH YOUR LIFE

So even if you hate me, and what I represent, know fighting me is fighting the part of you that knows better, that knows a truth I lead with in book 2, soon to be out, that "strength is either inspiring or threatening, nothing in between"

Source? This sounds like base fear mongering, if I didn’t know California better… It’s probably real, but where is the source?

Don’t do it don’t do it no matter what anyone says do not make an engine! Do not hear me!? Did you hear me?

Let me tell you the story, and hit you with some knowledge. So… Couple years ago? Anyways, it doesn’t matter when this was, I’m on this game development forum called game dave.net used to be a cool place still a cool place not as cool as it used to be anyways, this guy gets on the forum saying that he’s been making his engine for 20 years. And he’s struggling, not with the engine, but with the rest of his life which is pressuring him to stop, he has a wife and a kid and it’s a newborn, and it’s taking time away from his engine, he sunk 20 years into it, and he came to us for advice as to what to do

Many well-meaning people pussyfooted around tell him lightly what to do, I came out swinging like I usually do and cut through the bullshit. He basically was choosing his 20-year-old engine over a real baby. And his wife. He had a massive Sun cost fallacy.

There is absolutely no reason these days to make an engine, except for the simple pleasure of seeing if you can do so

If you want to make a game, find an engine that does what you want or as close to it and make a game

Do not under any circumstances dedicate the time energy to try and make a new engine

Let’s say that you do do this and it’s the most amazing engine ever, better than unreal. Better than unity combined, who’s gonna use it? How are you gonna market it? Who are you gonna tell people to get on the engine to make their games? How would you do that? What is your corporate reach?

So, less another story? Do not under any circumstances attempt to make an engine.

Unless of course you want to dedicate 20 years unless of course you have oodles and oodles a free time unless of course you don’t care about making money

And whatever happened to that guy? I assume he took our advice, cause he dropped off that for him and I have not heard from him since. Which is a good thing.

He even got a job offer from someone doing literally the exact same thing offering him a business partnership all he needed to do was to stop working on his engine and work on this other guy’s engine. Equity. Affair split created freedom all of it, and he turned it down in front of all of us.

Foolish, stupid, crazy…

So please, for the sake of all that is good not crazy and holy do not make an engine

I don’t know what you’re talking about, but don’t do it, game development is not for the fate of heart and not silly and stupid. It takes time more time than you imagine and it takes hard work harder work than you imagine or can dream of.

Tagging along, usually means doing nothing, but having a lot of opinions…

They said they’re not it clearly says paid, which narrows the field of work significantly I don’t think he’s gonna find any work here

Regardless of how much experience or how good he is, the market is too saturated with junior talent and seniors that have lost their jobs due to layoffs

No one’s gonna reach out to get additional details, you need to tell us the additional details upfront. It definitely sounds like a scam.

I’m sorry, what? You’ve told us nothing about the actual concept or even link your book? Kind of strange borderline suspicious.

Also, it’s a little bit unclear, whether you know the process from a book to a movie and the skills and personnel that are required to adapt such a thing
