you don't have to be a loser to be pissed off about paying for something and never seeing where it goes...

btw it would be alright to see what he's working on or if he's working on it all for now....

What Droon said. You make it sound like people here are rioting; well surprise surprise, we're only asking politely. I don't think anyone here even made it sound like Data owes us anything

Personally, from the devlogs, I think Data's a good guy. It's just initially strange why the website's not big on news

Data got married a scant few months ago. A week or so ago, he was at GDC 08. Not to mention that the fact that he's recovering from fudge viral meningitis. How would you all feel if he wasn't making game updates because HE WAS IN THE HOSPITAL? I mean really. Perspective. Just because none of us have lives doesn't mean Data can't have one.


Yes I was only aware of it after reading the devlogs, and I'm sure there are many who don't even know he's in hospital

My regards to Data. I hope he's doing okay as we speak/type

I certainly didn't know those things. though in Data's defence, it is also pretty cool for a new build to just drop out of the sky and to find out all the little new things yourself.

Anyway, this topic appears to have derailed hugel, wasn't it about the 1 and 2 keys? which, incidentally, I've never thought to use, i've certainly never accidentally used them

Frankly, I think the lengthy releases were timed perfectly to hold my interest in Cortex Command. Just as you start to sigh and think there is no new build in sight.. Bam!

Besides, I don't think many of you were around back then when new builds were engine upgrades given every couple months or so. Right now it seems CC is finally going into serious content-related updates, although I still hope for further engine optimizing.

ON TOPIC: CTRL + R TO RESET GAME (SPEED).

I believe Data released 2 or 3 builds in a week or something. The build before that was when I found CC.

He released one build, which had a major flaw, which he patched, only to release a new build. Iirc, that was B11 - 12 - 13. Build 13 was Cortex Command bliss and should be remembered far more fondly than b18.

that week was hell. the game crashed every 5 minutes... it was all cuz people wouldnt shut up and wait quietly for a new build. it was builds 15, 16, and 17.
then 18 came out with glows, but thats another story.

Haha F u c K you Grif, i do have a life. [poor attempt at passing filter] you Grif! I just so happen to exist and have social qualities others would find admirable. I check this game out for updates like once every 3 weeks just to find out nothing has happened, not even a single progress update. I dont care about datas life and what hes doing, if he doesnt have the time to work on something he started and people are paying for it he just shouldnt!

im being rude cuz you were :PI'm flaming you back because of the extremely mild insult you directed at everyone in general, even though it wasn't even an insult and happen to be 5 misunderstood words. I'm also going put this little smiley here in hopes you won't eat me. :P


Fixed,
Electro

Uh.... okaay.. nice fix, Electro, indeed. Very well put.

So, now I'm curious, since the original meaning of this toopic has been adressed, I'm sure no-one will mind it derailing a bit again; what was so cool about build 14? I obviously wasn't here for that, was it even better than the build we have now? or was it just the beggest step forward?

He's making people pay 20 dollars for unfinished versions of the game. It's really the least he can do to update. Even if he lied we'd all be happy. Also, what else is there to do in a hospital?

Maybe sleep and get the viral meningitis healed/treated?

*B13. Ignore Trouser, he's dumb, 14 < 13.

Let's see. The community was still small, not full of n00bs. Modders were actually good at modding, and many of the "big names" of current modding were just getting started, and the big names you've never heard still existed. The game was stable, extremely slow, not too complicated, and still had some highly exploitable glitches. MO behavior was predictable, dropships and rockets did exactly what you wanted them to, and it was very easy to make something original.
