It's missing a lot of features, and it's pretty poorly coded. An engine overhaul is needed most of all, I doubt Dan's done any sort of revisive work for most of the physics engine.

Don't talk like that!
I believe that with a little love and care (from Dan -... or Notch) CC can make it!

It pretty much won't. Maybe if data passed it on, but I can bet he won't.

I ♥♥♥♥ love you.

It's not particularly clever in any way. It would be easier to work from the ground up.

I gather Daman got a fair way in at least, just to change the console font to Arial.
But the main issue here is that you'd still basically be stealing Data's work, and there are at least a few ethical issues there.

You could steal the idea and start ground up fairly ethically, imo, however.

SOUNDS LIKE A PLAN TO ME.

I was pretty stoked to see a release date on B24. Seeing the comments in this thread didn't really deter me from wanting to play it, either.

Then I did.

I know I haven't been around since the beginning of time like some of you. If I remember right, I've been playing for about a year...I've tried my hand at modding and such, and I've kind of become attached to the community. I know I probably don't feel as bad as some of you do about this. I don't feel hugely betrayed, or completely let down, but I can totally understand why the veterans do.

The shift from B23 is pretty obvious. It honestly feels less user-friendly, and more than a little haphazardly slapped together. I really hope Dan isn't satisfied with releasing this. If he is, well...I just dunno. We've always been told CC isn't finished (hell, we see it everytime the game starts) but after waiting this long just for B24 and receiving this is not worth it.

So, Dan, even though I am new and have no sway in the community you really need to re-think what you're going to do with CC. This game has an extremely visceral connection with some of us here, and to see you treat it in such a way is very disrespectful to the people who have supported you and Data Realms.

I'll wait for B25, but perhaps not as patiently as I did for this one.

Yeah. I like the community and all, but that's the only reason I'm still here. Modding activity has dropped to ♥♥♥♥, and the new build sucks.

I'll be playing B23 until a better one comes out. Don't get me wrong, I still like the game. This is just disappointing for such a long wait. Oh well. That's life.

At least B23 doesn't lockup when you grin at the pie menu.

This thread seems to have calmed down, but just in case, see my post in this thread. Please calm down.

I haven't had any freezes or crashes so far with B24, and it runs smoother for me than B23. Just sayin'.

I paid 20 bones and have received hours and hours of fun.
We are Square, Data.

As a 29 year old gamer, I have seen mod scenes come and go. Games praised by their fans, and thrown to the wolves in their iterations.

I have loved mods, I have worked on mods, I have made mods, and I have learned this.

Nothing is forever, not even this.

I have seen this kind of implosion before, been the center of the implosion, and I'll tel you it will happen with minecraft someday.

However.
For 20 bucks, I think we did pretty good, and you all did a great job on your mods. I hope all of you that modded learned skills that you will apply to other mods or hopfuly jobs in the industry. Those who love mods, its not my place to tell you that you should or should not be bitter.

But I'll tell you that I got my 20 bucks worth, and if a friend asks me "whats cortex command" when pointing at the humble bundle, I'll tell them its pretty ♥♥♥♥ cool.

I agree, the game was well worth my money as-is, I'm just pissed because he's lazy.

Same. I think its due to mostly having smaller scenes. When they fill up, lag continues as normal.

B24 has been running a lot laggier for me.
