SubBassman!? lol wow, I didn't expect to see you still kicking about! I loved the shit out of TH1 and TH2 by the way, I put countless hours into playing both of those mods.
I used to go by the name HeLLMasteRHeLL, you might remember getting feedback from me on the vault on more than a few different occasions, I believe we exchanged a few e-mails too if I recall, but my memory fails me as to what it regarded specifically. Since bugs found me just as much as I found them in any mod or even in any game to this day, it was most likely that.
I understand the frustration in the desire to create a game with no means to do so, of course, many gamers have probably been there, but with what I have seen from you in the past and what I see you've done so far in this it is undeniable that you would accomplish just that had you money and the team to accomplish it.
As for the solicitation, I am basically on the same page with Mo. I will however admit the frustration I've had because of gaming companies and their bullshit for some time now, and my desire for a game such as yours, mine, 420's, and many others we gamers dream up to come into existence. That would turn the tide back from games being made for money to games being made for fun. I am quite pessimistic about your 30+ day goal, however, and as much as I wish you success, I just can't lead myself to believe you will succeed, especially with the world in the state that it is in.
I voted real-time combat, but it looks like the scales are pretty tipped in one direction. I would honestly recommend holding the decision for awhile until more people have had the chance to vote, at the very least, until the end of the goal, if it were to succeed.
@420, I honestly played a LOT of NWN mods in my time, and every now and then I still do. However, I must admit that I played some long ones, and some that were one series made of many mods and many parts, but despite all of that I can honestly say that I never found a mod or series to compare to the sheer size and hours I put into Tortured Hearts 1 & 2. If, by some chance, you do know one, I seriously want a recommendation (if it's fun). I love NWN, and as busy as I am playing other games, just give me an excuse... lol.
@SubBassman I, for one, would be more than willing to assist where I can, but I honestly don't know what you could use and where I could help if at all. When it comes to money, there's not much I can do for you, as much as I wish I were rich enough to do so. I have a house to build in the not too distant future, renovations in the very near future, I am out a vehicle, I need a bed, my wife is disabled, and I have a child on the way, plus the economy blows, so my pockets are a wee bit limited to say the least. I will pledge what I can, but for the most part I would be happy to help otherwise and will definitely spread the word.
If this fails, is there no hope of people like us, normal every day gamers with varying skills and degrees of skill bringing the game to fruition? I've made my own instrumental music, which has been compared to game music and would be happy to contribute, otherwise I can do minor images in editing software, generally to text. (see signature below) My style of gameplay, however, is extremely thorough and I am very meticulous; I tend to get places and do things you're not supposed to do, so finding bugs is a strong point, you might remember that from before. lol. But that's just me specifically, one among millions, I've met countless gamers over the years with a lot of skill and/or talent in various aspects, I have to believe there are those that would contribute. Maybe that's being hopeful?
