Re: So this is It??

I am partly to blame for this too. Grimrock is such an amazing concept that it is a crime not to develop for it. The problem I had was the cumbersome nature of the tools (particularly custom model animations, particularly with doors). But really, I got distracted and stopped working on my projects. I think what had a lot to do with it was back when LOG2 was announced, AH told us about all the wonderful improvements to modding, so I figured I would just wait it out. That was a year or more ago. In the meantime Ive produced nothing, and I am ashamed of that.
However. I want to get back in to making Tileset Models. I figure that if the size of tiles will stay compatible with LOG1, so that at least I can work on today. I have decided (mostly because the assets are elsewhere) to abandon the Captive mod, and instead will endevour to make generic Sci-Fi tilesets for other level creators to use. Because, honestly, Dungeon Master is all well and a classic and good. Don't get me wrong. But everyone has jumped on the medieval theme here, and much like in the late 1980s and early 1990s, the Sci-Fi possibilities of this type of engine have fallen to the wayside.
But I think I will come back. I'll start a new thread when I have some interesting stuff to show and anyone who is still left around can help me out. I am glad to see that there still are a lot of the old modders still here. Anyway that was rambling.

. We are not going away any time soon. We love each other, and the feeling of comraderie that this dev team has brought. Even if there isnt "pertinent" news, we still want to remain in each others presence, so we all check in here regularly. There ios a "Great Awakening" on the horizon, I can only hope that you are here to witness it. Merry Christmas people! We love and miss you all! XOXOXOXOXO!
well done for starting this thread !
