Title: What's next? (I know, I R'dTFM...)
Post by: Assamite on 2004-08-12, 10:34
Besides a couple of bug fixes, what else is next for the Gen team? Weapon animations and model animations and support and all that is already in the manual, but what about purported single-player features? Resurgence aside, of course. You ARE aiming for 1.0, correct?

In a word, yes.  We'll release a small bugfix patch for anything that's shown up after .99e's release, but the push from this point is for 1.0's major framework to be completed, then all the juicy bits get added in after that that big push.  Expect such things as:

Animations (of course)
Dualgats from third person (and other goodies)
New muzzle flashes
Old-school particle effects
New gameplay modes, including 1-flag CTF and Team Arena map support

And much, much more.

I don't know if this was touched on beforehand, but do you plan to release SDKs for map entities like exploding barrels and fireballs soon? As in BEFORE the release of the next version?

Exploding barrels no, because those don't work yet.  Those are 1.0 material.  Shooters, yes.  I'll be getting that SDK prepped over the next week or two.

Sorry to bugger you again... But since Lee'Mon seems intent on being hidden from sight, what's going to happen to the fabled Generations Novel? Yeah, I know he's currently busy with QCon now, and he probably has other things in life. Still...

Heh, we have no idea. Lee's pretty much incognito these days. We don't see him very often, aside from the stray random comment on IRC.

We've been promised multiple times that some work would be done, with no results.
