Sorry, im not going to vote on this topic, and if this new topic disappears i wouldnt care.

You do realize that these people have their own lives, and dont have to confirm to someones schedule of what they want done, or done what way.

Im not an admin here, but I know the team members well enough to know that this topic will be locked shortly.

I think you meant to make The guys at Wirehead are busy with ther lives and The guys at Wirehead are jsut annoying us seperate votes... But alas, Lil is correct, if not a bit harsh. Not only are they trying their hardest, but they do have lives outside of this mod (I would hope). Besides, from the looks of it, I'd say the new version isn't too far over the horizon Slipgate - Smile

Let's just say that there's a LOT to do and not enough time to do it in. We're getting pretty close to .99c though. Slipgate - Wink

I'll be nice and not dismember anybody today, I promise.  The answer is B and the first part of C.  I'm working my tailfeathers off on the code in the time that I am able to.  That's usually the time of night between about 11 pm and 3 am.  I average about 4-5 hours of sleep a day, and have for the last year or so.  Laziness is not an option.  There's a lot to do, and limited time in which it can be done.  Don't worry, good stuff is coming soon.

I was a bit disappointed that I didn't hear excessive ranting from yours side, Pho  Slipgate - Smile Nevertheless, I'll hope that gen 99c will be available for non-beta peeps soon.

As for my part, i have two reasons for any holdup:
1. My harddisk crashed -and to my astonishment my backup sys didn't include the wirehead project dir. Sloppy & Bad Luck. I lost quite a bit of stuff that will have to be remade (re-modelled mostly).

2. I'm terribly busy with school projects. I have a flash documentary project, a client/server coding assignment and several smaller projects to work on for at least 3 more weeks. Needless to say, these things come first.

As you may or may not understand, I'm hesitant to redo the lost work. I get that black-hole feeling when having to do something that I've already put behind me. When I get some time on my hands I'm bound to get bored/motivated again - so it's just a matter of time ;]

For those losing patience: Keep in mind that we're actually a pretty small team, and our progress usually comes in bursts. Not seeing any change for a while doesn't mean we're dead. We're just feigning it ;]

Think of my name, and what it means.  That should give a clue as to what's really going on when it looks "dead" around here. :ph34r:

They're definitely trying their hardest to make the next release.  I don't think they're slackers, lol.

I don't really care how long it takes for the next release, cause I know they're putting their full effort into creating an excellent gaming experience for the people who download it.

So take your time, guys, and make it the best ya can.

I don't really care how long it takes either, to a certain extent. I mean, I don't think ANYONE wants this mod to take the next seven years to finish  Slipgate - Tongue

Heh
I was planning to make a new topic about this, but it actually fits right in with this topic. You see, today it's April 10. Which means Generations Arena is now precisely 3 years in the making.  Slipgate - Laugh

I dug up the original newspost from PlanetQuake:

Generations Arena Announced
Quake III Arena News | 4/10/2000 | 6:48 PST - Pappy-R

That's right, you heard me right. Generations is about to rise again, although in an all new way. Being done for Quake III, and "all legal, all the time", this latest Generations Project is about to relive, and make history. The project is being done by WireHead Studios, and I'm guessing that Lee'Mon just couldn't let this one go, no matter how many times he said he had. Here's what Lee'Mon had to say about the new project:
GenArena divides the Quake3 characters (such as Doom, Ranger, Grunt, and Visor) into five "generations" of player classes, with different weapons, strengths, and weaknesses. Although the Q3A mod is not associated with the cancelled Quake2:Generations project, fans of the original should find plenty to like with the new mod.
You can check out the new Generations Arena site for a story line, charachters and more feature details.

To get an idea of what has happened in the past years I made a quick time table which shows the history of Generations.
Blue = Quake2 Genererations related
Orange = SOG (Son of Generations/Some Old Games) related
Red = Generations Arena related

July 14 1998 - Generations launches at PlanetQuake
September 22 1998 - Generations v0.90 Released (first public release; Q1 and Q2 only)
September 26 1998 - Generations v0.91 Released (quick bug fixes)
October 26 1998 - Generations v0.93 Released
March 30 1999 - Generations v0.94 Released (was pulled one day later because of too many bugs)
May 19 1999 - Generations v0.98 Released (Wolf en Doom added)
May 23 1999 - Generations v0.98a Released (quick bug fixes)
June 6 1999 - Generations v0.98b Released (GenStart added)
June 14 1999 - Generations canceled
June 16 1999 - SOG anounced
February 26 2000 - SOG v0.32a Released (Wolf, Doom and Q2 only)
March 21 2000 - SOG v0.33a Released (quick bug fixes)
April 10 2000 - Generations Arena anounced
September 28 2000 - SOG v1.0 Released (DM only)
October 12 2000 - SOG v1.1 Released (quick bug fixes)
February 3 2001 - SOG v1.2 Released (SP campaign added)
April 6 2001 - Generations Arena Preview Movie Released
April 14 2001 - SOG Wolfenstein 3D Mappack Released
July 24 2001 - SOG v1.3 Released
August 10 2001 - Generations Arena Test previewed at QuakeCon.
December 20 2001 - Generations Arena v99a Released
December 21 2001 - Mappack 1 Released
March 31 2002 - Resurgence anounced
August 8 2002 - Generations Arena v99b Released
November 15 2002 - Mappack 2 Released

I hope you enjoyed the nostalgia.  B)

Oh, and to answer the poll question: I know very well how much time it takes to mod. Considering all the high quality stuff that is in Generations Arena, I conclude that the Wirehead teammembers are working as hard as they can.
