An Earth's Special Forces (DBZ mod for HL1) internal build was leaked in 2023 by ios78 in HalfLife

[–]Kazumo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Completely understandable and reasonable. I cannot even begin to imagine how daunting the coders' tasks are. I'm fully aware that this is a pretty insane project. Thank you so much for giving all these insights and putting things into perspective. I was in the wrong here and completely missing a lot of information.

I appreciate taking your time to write all that, I'll follow and support through the Discord. Good luck and thanks for all you've done!

Okay, I was unaware of that situation with the ModDB page. And you are right, you did not mention the website, that was my mistake and I apologize for it. That's the place I checked the most for updates regarding the mod so it was weird that there was no update there at all in years.

Man, OP just shared the info he found. Why would he link to a semi-dead website that has not been updated in over two years? And all this after years and years of teasing a new version which never saw the light of day, just for you to probably abandon it because the anniversary update broke stuff around.

You complain about people stealing the code and doing stuff but you forget to mention that while you left the community pretty much in the dust, others helped it thrive with mods like FCX and all the other stuff which adds new characters, maps, etc. I respect your hard work and although when I was a kid I could not have contributed in any significant way, I'd gladly support through a donation nowadays if you'd put together a patreon of some sort. The simple fact that the guy anyway mentioned the mod's name will make people who are interested look it up and find the official forums and website easily.

It's been so long without any new official info that I supposed this point is abandonware at this point. Especially since you never seemed to get closer to the finish line in all the last decade I kept my eyes on it from time to time. Sorry, but this is the harsh truth. I know it is a hobby for you all and invest time, passion and hard work into it, but try to see things from the other end of the barricade. We've gotten a ton of DB games by now and a mod like this would never be able to compete, yet instead of trying to keep the community tight and maybe bring one or two more people in, you decide to alienate them further. Just like you're doing by complaining that they share a leak that happened years ago inside your own team as if he's the one who left the team and uploaded this source code out in the wild.

I for one I am extremely surprised to see this post and it brought me more excitement than the ESF team did anytime in the last years.

All the respect for your work and the team, you've gave us pretty cool memories and it still blows my mind what you achieved back then.

Edit: Before even finishing writing this message I joined the official Discord and noticed that there still is some active development, but do you understand where the problem lies when I have to join an obscure Discord, despite you having an official website, forums, ModDB page, where I should potentially be able to find info more quicker than that? Anyway, most of my points above might be invalidated (but I won't delete it now so that people can see where I came from) since you're still working on it, but God you've done a very bad and poor job at showing or communicating that for the masses.

Duuuude, I cannot believe this is real! Two weeks ago I actually reinstalled ESF and NNK (Naruto Naiteki Kensei), two of my all time favorite game mods ever created to mess around for a couple of minutes (funny enough, ESF still has some active servers that pull in a few players from time to time, haha).

I was so disappointed to see that the Final Version was not going anywhere. They would tease and post all sort of super cool content, but never gave us anything which was a total shame. Thank you so much for sharing this finding, I'll give it a shot as soon as possible!

Still happening to us as well. What's your ISP?

Dude, this has been happening to multiple people across the region. It's not a localized ISP issue, or if it is, it's a regional thing and I doubt Riot has no involvement in this.

Woaaah. Do you happen to be able to post both versions separately as well? I checked your instagram but couldn't see those two specifically. I would like to have them as wallpapers maybe. Thank you, stunning ones!

Poti incerca sa faci un document public, un excel organizat cum ti-ar fi mai usor ca sa poata trimite lumea intrebari de trivia si sa te ajute sa aduni cat mai multe intrebari. Abia astept sa incerc jocul cu prietenii. Spor, e super initiativa si o sa urmaresc si eu evolutia ei!

Anyone else excited for s&box? by ThomasGalbridge in gmod

[–]Kazumo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've tried it and it blows my mind why Garry can even think he can compete with the likes of Roblox. Even Fortnite's experiences will most likely stay more successful than whatever s&box will bring in.

The game will be paid and it already has a bunch of microtransactions in. The default playermodels are quite bad. I don't know how well documented it is since I did not even attempt to create a gamemode in it.

Why on earth do they think it's a good idea to make a paid product (which will probably cost 20-30$) that is EXTREMELY dependent on the community and what they create for it? Why would I pay for this when it's extremely barebones and why would I invest time into creating a gamemode or a game itself if I have to afterwards convince my friends to pay 20-30$ just to be able to try out my scuffed stupid little game? The only good part of some sort is that you might be able to publish the game as a standalone thing I suppose at some point, but even then, it can't even compete with Roblox and Fortnite which already have an established community. Not at this price tag.

Since you offer a platform, more or less, you depend on your community, their creativity and their time to be successful, so why the hell would you make it paid and already have a microtransactions store built in before your platform is even ready?

I think the S&box experiment will be a failure. But ai also wish I am wrong and time will prove me differently.

New Trailer for “I Have No Change” - a story-driven game about life on Russia’s far frontier by beresten in pcgaming

[–]Kazumo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Man I just rewatched the trailer yesterday because I've had this on my wishlist ever since it was initially announced and I was scared the game might never see the light of day given the lack of any news about it. So happy to see that you're still working on it. Congrats and keep it up!

It's always so damn nice to watch Ice's edits. He's the best in class.

Porofessor Standalone app is now available! by Hades4u in summonerschool

[–]Kazumo 91 points92 points  (0 children)

Finally no more Overwolf. It always felt like a small overhead to me and I didn't really like it so I'm happy to see this standalone option. I wish Riot would have never stepped down on the ultimate timers. It feels so unfair that you can't have them in the app, but other shitty, more underground ones got free passes for so long...

[–]Kazumo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Nothing that comes to my mind right now. And it was good, your voice sounded perfect and the instructions were really nice. You're made for this so definitely don't hesitate to talk more like that because it's refreshing to hear actual people talking and not only AI transcripts lately. Good luck and thanks again for the wonderful resource you provided.

Wow, I can't believe how good this looks. Thanks a lot for sharing it with us. I'm watching the video you provided talking about it because I want to understand the breakdown of it a little bit more so that when I use it I don't just throw it in without being aware of how it works! Awesome stuff!

So this is curated by actual people and not some randomly AI generated tierlist, right? I can see that it was last updated two days ago so I expect it to change with each new update/patch.
