Complimenting the Ego - ViperEye - 21st Jul 2003 18:49
I rattle on about nonsense in an effort to fill space.
Okay, so it isn't exactly nonsense, but hey, it's something to read, right? Folks come to websites because they want to read the material that's on the website. Spiffy sites get pictures, too, but that's stretching things for low-budget projects.
Troopers has been released. Or, more appropriately, the Troopers Demo. It's filled with five Troopers shooting, four blasters blazing, three mappers mapping, two factions fighting, and an intro to wrap it all up (sing that to the "Days of Christmas" tune, and it feels like you're getting presents!). Already we've found about a bakillion (that's right, a bakillion) bugs and fixes we need to get out the door, but we took a week off first and just chilled, to the great misery of the fanbase.
On a sidenote, did any of you know that it's fun to have a fanbase? You might have, but I'll bet you didn't know that it's even MORE fun to type the word "fanbase," because you'd think it would be two seperate words, and yet you type it as one, and you feel so rebellious!
Which brings us, haphazardly, to the Rebellion. Yes, we only have one model in use for the Rebels. Shut up. We know. You want more. We get it. That's why it's so great that the Endor Rebel is almost complete (Complete enough to be in the bugfix patch? Probably not. But you never know!). Until then, you can try and fail to grab the Pajamas Rebel off the website that we gave you in-game, because the Pajamas Rebel isn't ready yet. But it will be, and then you can all nod and say that it was a great idea that we put the URL as an easter egg in-game.
Please say it was a great idea.
Now, before I go, I'd like to officially welcome you all to the IRC channel, which is woefully underused now that the mod is out. I may only be trying to garnish more fame for myself in the form of folks fawning over me and asking questions, but you'll never know until you come by!
Of course... I probably won't be there... but the point is, you'll WANT me there! And that's what fame's all about. Dissapointing those who think you're famous.
Now, me and my Ego (capital E) are going to get going. There is much to be done, and I've embarrassed myself enough for one day.
