INDY is being worked on, it really is. It's just that my graphics dude, Flatline, is remarkably lazy.

Actually I can't blame it on him, it's mostly my remarkable laziness. It is being worked on veeeerrrrryyyyy slowly.

To give you a general idea of our laziness, consider this. Our original schedule said we'd be done and over with it by the end of August and it would release on that last weekend.

We still haven't gotten around to changing that schedule or making a new one.

I'd say at least half of those won't see the light of day... probably more.

As for "Dink"... I have some ideas, and wrote a beta design doc (somewhere). But I don't expect it to come out any time soon... I have way too many other projects that are better that I have to work on. The new code for this site, FIAT v1.00, COE2... and some other smaller projects that I probably won't finish.

Legend's Tale will be released. As for when though, that remains to be seen. Extremely large epics take a long time to make.

I'm sorry to say that unless I remake it, "Rutgar's Revenge" has been canned. This is NOT down to my starting yet another project, but I was experimenting with it, and screwed it up somehow, so it doesn't work at all. Ho hum.

I'm contemplating either working on "A Knights Tale 2" or a similar style d-mod. Hmmm....

I've finished 2. Go try them, and don't tell me off for not finishing d-mods when I have made more than most!

He's got a point actually... you keep saying you're working on a great new game, but nobody's ever gonna believe you anymore if you keep this up, 'cause 99% of your stuff isn't gonna be released...

just focus on some projects and release them, instead of announcing 1940326 dmods and not releasing a single one of them

It is a good point, and I have accepted it time and time again that I start too many d-mods. That is why (and I said this a while ago) I'm melding them all into one.

And Christiaan..go make a half-decent d-mod a leave me alone.

Christiaan, get your facts straight. He does have a very valid point in that I start/announce too many d-mods, and I accept that. I haven't announced a new game for God knows how long now, so don't keep coming back to that as a point. I am focused on some projects (like I was on Rutgar) but things sometimes go against them.

As for announcing 1940326 d-mods and releasing none of them, that is just rubbish. I have announced a fair few d-mods, but I have also released 2 farily good ones.

And I built up any of my d-mods as much as you did with LOTE, which was (IMHO) feeble : Or at least the demo was.

I'm sorry if this post is a bit (a lot?) aggressive, but I haven't posted for ages, and as soon as I do, I get criticised. That p**ses me off.

That's fine! Here goes...

Essentially instead of starting a new d-mod with every new idea I have, I'm just going to shove them all (no matter what they are) into one d-mod. I'm also combining a lot of the ideas and scripts I have already done into this game.

You play as Saben, and apprentice to a Warlock. He sends you off on a few small missions, and something happens. You must go on and solve some mysteries, bater the baddies etc. Your basic RPG really, but with a bit of flair (hopefully).

Any more questions?

I don't need luck, I'm getting pretty dang good at making these things now (I've had the experience!!)

It may take a while, but all d-mods do! BTW : Why don't you give my other d-mods a review?

I would like to, but you know : my english sucks big time !!!

ask Kyle or Tallis they will confirm this fact !

Remember I'm the one behind THE ETERNAL SUICIDE saga, and chapter zero will be my first ever d-mod.

I cannot judge others when I'm still a virgin, don't you think?

Don't worry I will think about the reviewing thing!

Ofcourse I know you haven't announced 1940326 d-mods, but at least a lot, and not many have actually been or will be released. That's all I'm saying. About me not having released a half-decent

dmod, cut the crap. I'm a way better dmod author than you

"I would like to, but you know : my english sucks big time !!!"

It doesn't seem too bad to me!

"Remember I'm the one behind THE ETERNAL SUICIDE saga, and chapter zero will be my first ever d-mod."

I didn't know, that and I hope it's going well. If you ever want any help, and you can't get it anywhere else, I'll try and help.

" I cannot judge others when I'm still a virgin, don't you think?"

Of course you can! Although you can't judge it from an authors perspective, you can still judge it on how fun it was, and whether you enjoyed the story.

True they won't all be released, but it's fun too make, them and it makes me better at scripting and mapping.

And as for you being a better d-mod author than me? Check the review scores bud!

i can relate to sabre trout, i have started about 5 different first time dmods in the last 4 months. Except- i didnt completely start anew, i kept the map and a lot of scripts, all im doing rifght now is making everything BUT the stroyline, so that i can keep thinking up new ideas and writing them down. This will save me a lot more time than to just start over each time

Wait a sec... I p**s you off.. ok, that's good. But I know nothing about it? oh please... go take a crap and think over your stupid posts. I know it's a good thing to work on multiple stuff. I have made 3 dmods before SOP, but I never released them (because they sucked). It's okay to work on a lot of stuff, but if you'd just think for a second then you'd know that most of it (all?) won't be released. Now you say everytime you'll release it while eventually not releasing anything

Rubbish! You obviously don't know anything about it, as you seem to think that I'm not releasing anything, wheras I have actually released quite a few files. And I accept that a fair few of these d-mods won't be released, but as I have already said, they are all being to be put into one bigger d-mod (like trav666 is doing)which will be released...eventually.

So I know exactly what I'm doing.
