Developer Journal: trepid_jesse
Posted 1 decade ago Map Design
Laaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaame!
I've had this high quality dev journal waitin' for Paul's approval for a month, but I guess my topic wasn't good for a dev journal.
FF feels close, but maybe it only feels close cause we know what's left to do, and to new people it still looks assholishly far away? Some shitty shit has happened lately, which has namely been mirv and FooleyCooley not being around. I don't mean casually not around, but I mean I haven't seen them in months. I think mirv has made a couple random posts on the dev forums, but he's basically been gone for awhile, I'd say a month or two, but maybe that's too much. Definitely at least a month. FooleyCooley has been gone for a long ass time, though. He had some shit to do with finding a job, or somethin' about his dad walking in on him playing with some kittens, but whatever it was, he's not around no mo'. I guess maybe they could show up one day in the future, but I'm doubting it. Actually, I was doubting it a month ago, but since then there hasn't really been much thought of, "Hey, when are those whores coming back?" There's been times when we've sat around waiting and hopin' someone becomes more active, but that's proven to be really dumb in the past. At the same time, there's just some shit we can't do without these people, like rebo, we need his balloon knot here to talk to us.
They just got busy with more important personal shit I guess, or maybe mirv is in jail cause he mailed out too many copies of this tape that he made of he and I tag teamin' ... well, it was pretty awesome.
So, Patrick O'Leary from Virginia Beach, Virgina has been doing a lot more coding shit with mirv gone, but we've brought on some other coder, but he's not around much cause he's some programmer at some company and they're in crunch time or some shit. So, DrEvil has been doing other non-bot related coding, ohhhh and Paul has been coding, too, I forgot all about that until just... now, f--- you shark.
With FC gone, decs has had to do more shit that he typically doesn't do, like compiling/animating shit for the v_ weapons. He modelled, skinned, animated, and had the regular shotgun in game after 4 days, which is awesome. That probably sounds retarded though, I mean, you'd think by now we'd have all the weapons fully in the game, right? Everything is in and working properly, minus whatever tweaks and shit, except for the sniper rifle and the autorifle (or whatever it is that's going to replace the autorifle).
Character models are still f---ed, though, and have been for a looooooooooooooooong time. I think since they were created they were jacked up? Not for sure about that, but I think... they have been? I mean, all the characters are in the game, and animated but there's all kinds of shit that needs to be fixed with them, and these fixes are needed so shit like animations/skinning can be finalized. Unfortunately, rebo has also been pretty much dead to us for awhile. He makes guests appearances sometimes, but we don't speak his name much anymore. He has some shitty job where I guess he never gets to leave work, or when he gets home from work he ain't give a shit about no stupid mod, so he just beats his pillow to death cause he can't go to sleep cause he's gotta go work another shift.
At least, I think that's how it goes down, I mean, who in the hell is a math major but works construction? You can't do construction over here unless you first prove that you can swim, run, and keep your head down.
So, I guess what I'm saying is that, I honestly believe we'd all already be playin' FF if mirv, FC, and rebo could've been around normally (4 or 5 hours a week) over the past several months. They some critical bitches.
Lots of the maps are done, or getting really god damn close, I think. We played shutdown2 today, and it was fun shit. We had an orgy on the error model train cause Mark failed at committing the model.
Oh, there's a beta going, and has been going for awhile. If you aren't in it, you weren't asked to be in it, which means you aren't cool or like to bake brownies.
Seriously though, goto the CPL this year cause Jon and I are gonna take over a booth, and give out copies of FF whether or not this mod is "done." Tell your friends.
