Hey guys.

I know this is not the proper section to post this (Because I don't know where else I can post it) but does anyone know the current release date of Generations Arena? Not wanting to sound like a hater, but the current version (0.99F) looks REALLY cheap in my eyes. The animations and skins are just... Not really well done. The "recent" videos of Generations Arena prove that the new version is going to be extremely awesome and an excellent quality product, so far so good.

I understand if you can't think of a specific release date, I'm having the same problem with my projects. I will just never find a release date that's not delayed. Sure, no rush, take your time guys, we can wait 

Thank you.

Phoenix said, that there's lots of work to do, so I think we have to wait for a couple of years. 

I remember how when I registered first time in forum (at end of 2010 I believe), I thought that Generations 1.00 will perhaps get released on 2011 or 2012. Boy, I was wrong, so here we are nearly 5 years later and still wasn't released. But I pretty much agree with Phoenix, 1.00 should be as bug-free as possible and believe me, the waiting will be worth when it gets finally released. I can't stand bugged releases either, especially after being delayed multiple times.

Where I could really use some help right now is with models and some minor animation.  The game source itself I pretty much have doing whatever I want, and I'm keeping tight control over right now.  It's still under the old Q3A game source license as I didn't migrate that to the GPL licensed code.  I'm wanting to keep that closed source since people have a habit of running off with our models without even asking and I know what would happen with the source code.  After working on this so long, I'm sure you can understand that I don't want to entertain the possibility of someone else running off with our hard work.

The engine source runs independent of the game source and is under the GPL, so I'm completely willing to share engine source with anyone.  It will compile under Visual Studio 2003 or later.  I would only ask that any modifications to the code stay compatible:  eg, no changing everything from C to C#, so that I can recompile under 2003 since changing development platforms is a headache for me - but those kinds of details can always be discussed later.  If you know anything about OpenGL programming, we've been working on making Q3's dynamic lights not suck, but I'm having some issues with some of the shaders in Team Arena, and I'd love to move all the lighting over from CPU to GPU and use fragment shader programs, but I know zero about how to do that.  I could reverse engineer Xreal's lighting code and work on implementing it later, but if someone's able to tinker with that now it would speed development for certain.  I'll want to improve bot logic so that they understand their non-Q3A guns better as well.  The game-source side is easy, but I haven't tinkered with the engine-side bot logic at all, so that's another area that could definitely use some help.  If nothing else, I'm always in need of beta testers to try to break things and catch the occasional bug that I miss.

If any of that sounds like something you're able or willing to do - this applies to anyone else here too - send me a private message. 

Got the messages, just hadn't responded yet. 

Dude, I can say that the new build is just AWESOME! Seriously, the Doom weapons even have proper timing and every class is JUST like their counterparts The weapons, the arenas and fighting is epicly satisfying!

The wait is definitely worth and the new version deserves a 1000/10 from me!

Hm, I will see if I can record videos. But I am afraid I will have to ask Phoenix's permission, so no promises :/

By all means record some vids.  I'd rather stick to creating the mod than making videos. 

Thank you, Phoenix!
And thank you, Quaker540. 

Ok, I'm kinda waiting for some vids.
