Nah we still need a week to get the portal finished.

psionik

We are two guys. Be happy you have any news at all :]
The portal relaunch is not the big news, that will come sunday.

psionik

That would be because we are preparing to launch the new portal. Can't hide anything from you guys!

psionik

Lets just say that we have taken steps to end the constant promise of updates and no delivery.

psionik

For deathmatch or online play, nothing beats good old quake, but for single player I really am digging GRAW. Hell of a game. 20 bucks well spent.

psionik

I don't even want to try to imagine the mental state you must be in to do something like this. The poor guy must have been suffering badly from something to be driven to an act like this. It makes me picture a mental nightmare being my waking life. How frightening.

psionik

I am going to put it up this weekend, ready or not.
If it's not 100% ready im still putting up what I have.

psionik

Major update coming soon.

psionik

What is \"an arena style of play\"? Like 1v1 in an arena, where the victor stays in, and others watch/observe waiting for their turn to compete?

Yes, you spawn with full everything and duke it out, winner stays. You can also make teams so you can do 2v2, 3v3, so on.

psionik

The Ion Spray will be a good coverage weapon with enough power to be useful against multiple opponents. This will make it a very good gun for noobs.

psionik

Psionik-- Things sure are shaping up! Thanks for the updates. Secondaries: The 3 descents sure give a good array of ideas...personal favorites were the concs (rapid firing concs from a full load was devastating), and the D2 missile (forgot the name, but it wasnt insta-hit, just fast firing, with a ...

psionik

To be honest, I would rather have all the weapons travel-time. Except maybe Vulcan-like stuff - (practically) instant-hit but pretty weak. Point-click gameplay is available pretty much anywhere, and actually being able to dodge weapons is a big part of the appeal of the earlier games. Unless hits/d...

psionik

As i was reading today I noticed that the 4.5 seconds Krom mentioned was actually the time until damage starts to occur. That means it does not represent the charge time, it represent the charge time plus the amount of time you are fully charged before you take damage/shut down. Also, on the XRP... ...

No, but I do like the idea.

psionik

Krom: Easy, killer... I put a note at the top of that list just for posts like your'n. Those number values are, like I said, just numbers off the top of my head to be ballpark values. They will all be adjusted to create the balance of the game and make it feel perfect. They have 0 testing time on th...

psionik

...those weapons sound great - though I'm with Krom on the 4.5 second recharge time. 3 seconds is more than enough ...unless of course if you make an enormous racket when you do it ...that might help balance out the extra firepower. That being said, I'm comparing CD here to Descent. And while they ...

psionik

I could make some coffee and read a book during some of those charge up / reload times... Krom maybe I should clarify just so it doesn't seem ridiculous - when I wrote this doc I was counting in my head and trying to get values I thought were decent ballpark values so input is more than welcome on ...

Correct :]
It probably looks wierd to everyone because I mouse and because of that I have quite an insane flippy flying style.

psionik

I never hit any walls in that video!!

psionik

Vader!!

psionik

Yeah thats fine I can see where my friends are gently nudging me and so I will change gears to the professional PR guy approach to these posts. Unfortunately I cannot continue an informal relationship with the DBB because the spotlight is getting too large, I need to be more palatable and you are al...

psionik

psi, what level is that from the resination_movement.wmv? it looks really familiar to me. i think i have played a lot of d3-games in that one. if i recall right that one was a great level, released not so long ago but wasnt very popular to most players cause of lack of the md? well i could swear i ...

psionik

HAHA!!!!!! Thats great!!! Diedel telling someone they have an attitude problem. WOOOOOOOOOO! Jer, quit bantering and get back to work bro! ;) BTW, whens the next time you'll be down this way? the mrs and I would like to have y'all over for some BBQ. Hahah. I actually just finished up the shell for ...

psionik

Ohh.. that one. That clip is pretty bland, but effective. Thanks Psi! ;) You guys need to learn to fly. duck around stuff.. don't try to fly through it. O man I hope you aren't trashing my flying, I might have to load D3 on my PC just to come spoon feed you your own words :D Also... I warned you it...

psionik

I wrote a lot more stuff to you - that wasn't even worth replying? Not really because most of what you wrote is conjecture and most of the parts that aren't don't reference what I have posted here correctly anyway so there's really not much to reply to. I did reply to one of your questions at least...

psionik

Just don't over-clutter the mines with junk that the ships get hung up on. Or, allow the ships to slide or bump so that they bounce around them when a collision is detected. I agree with Valin on that. Ever try reducing the drag a bit on the ship movement Psy? You can have some interesting fun when...

psionik

psionik, grow a skin. :) Thanks for the movie. Checked my level spotlight for something worth recycling? Very funny. Learn to take it if you're gonna dish it out :] No I did not really do that yet because the main goal in using the older stuff was to keep some particular levels alive. I originally ...

psionik

You guy do realize you're hotly debating fiction... thanks for noticing the quote at the top of that post. Kilarin has the right idea, we need something renewable - not infinite - or we wouldnt have a game. Why don't we just make the ship tap into the very energy that binds atoms together and its su...

psionik

I feel terrible for not releasing any media and so I am trimming down a movie I took awhile ago and will post it here in a few minutes.

psionik

Our approach to scale will be methodical as well but my explanation is much simpler. We will experiment with various things until it feels perfect, then move on. Critics: Please enjoy this opportunity to quote, reinvent, and generally misinterpret my point in lengthy speculative posts thick with dev...

psionik

This is fiction. And with Sci-Fi, most anything goes. Core Decision chapter 1. They say we had to. The polar field on Earth was destabilizing for the first time in almost a million years, and with its potential demise would come devastation. Not small scale devastation, but world-wide apocalyptic d...

psionik

So - I have been updated, sortof.
We have moved our code to a newer codebase which has apparently solved a lot of problems. This is something I wanted to do months ago, so I am pretty happy about it. I am really looking forward to our next media update :]

psionik

I have given them an itinerary of things to complete and we have to give them more time. Things look good and I guess I could put together some sort of teaser but I really just want to blow your socks off with the next update.

psionik

Hey I see this thread is unlocked :] Sorry I haven't posted anything yet as promised, I am still waiting on the module update from our coders - we have things close but not yet close enough for another major community update. HANG IN THERE! We received a donation, thank you VERY MUCH to the contribu...

psionik

Yeah that is very true but in Mer's case being an old friend of one of the team members helps too :]

psionik

You actually got me with this, I was like WHA??

In my defense I did not notice the date

psionik

Sorry I didn't really think to put this in the CD section, I just noticed it recently. Please move this there.

psionik

Hello, we have some good news to report. We have our first kill in a network game, I killed zach about 3 minutes ago, both of us in hellfires with the guns spinning and blowing out shells. Man am I stoked. Soon to come will be some initial gameplay footage and we will be looking at a couple people t...

psionik

Still ironing out some code issues before I can take screens, I want the next set to properly represent the large jump forward we have taken in the past few months.
