    Honestly, a lot of you talk about 0AD like it's a commercial project (somebody had the nerve to suggest adds in the game and forum). Like we have anxious investors that need to be appeased by rushing development to release an unfinished bug-ridden game full of broken features and broken promises. A lot of us are here because we are tired and disillusioned by the dishonest and predatory money grab schemes the big developers are currently specializing in.    

    Even high quality indie games can cost hundreds of thousands of dollars, and AAA can cost tens of millions, even more. And 0AD is routinely compared to the best!! RTS games are incredibly complex to make, especially if they're fully 3D, which is one of the reasons you don't see so many of them being made. With all the doubt and sometimes even negativity from a handful of "fans" these days, I have to ask, which recent Historical RTS are you all playing that's so much greater than 0AD that you're all "threatening" to jump ship? Empires Apart??? lol! 

    0AD has never been greater! Or as popular... Just because there are snags in the development today (as there have always been, by the way), doesn't mean anything about the future of this gargantuan project. It's just part of the development cycle. There's always ups and downs. But I honestly don't get it. It's like you prefer fairytales, and sweet lullabies of all the things money will do for this game, forgetting how much money has been thrown at far lesser games...

    The volunteering aspect of development is both it's greatest strength, as well as one of its weaknesses. Patience is a requirement. In everything. Money can't buy love. Money can't make a game like 0AD. Only the love, dedication, passion and tenacity of its developers can. So please stop antagonizing the developers and let them work! Give them words of encouragement, not these belligerent and uncalled for reproaches because things aren't going as fast as you'd like them to go. You are causing harm by seeding unnecessary doubt, and it's unpleasant for developers to keep hearing their unpaid work isn't good enough for you. If anything, see what you yourself can add to the development. Just throwing money at things is a lazy and unwholesome way of doing things.        

    The one thing I do agree with is that some of the social media accounts, especially the facebook page, as well as the main 0AD website should be updated with regular screenshots, either of development or just fan made, and some small update lists of interesting commits, to show of the development of the game, because currently there are way too many 6+ year old promo shots floating around the net, and doubting Tom's who think the project is dead while so many people are actually working on it day and night. 

    Isn't this something for you @asterix? Collecting all the pretty screenshot and other media produced and shared on the forums, and making a small selection of the best pieces, to post anywhere from 1-5 images per week on facebook, with a 1 liner (What is it? who made it? Can we expect to see it in vanilla or is it for a mod?). And then secondarily, look at the weekly commits and see if there's anything you think people might find interesting. Either a short list of the most interesting commits, or a small written piece (just a paragraph or so) of a more intricate commit, just once a week or so? It would do wonders to let people know how much is actually being done (outside of the pathfinder or AI department). 

    Very beautiful to read, but in general terms everything needs money, even for servers. So why not use for merchandising purposes? Mb u can afford more expenses if u get from cups, clothes, poster extra money. Its not only about love, u can keep loving a free open source company and make those things.

    Hm, yeah. I was thinking more of t-shirts and mugs n stuff.

    Logos etc might be good, but depending on what the community comes up with, it could also be landscapes, classicist motives, medieval, ~fantasy, FOSS related, geek humor, pandering to bronies...

    I would buy some 0AD t-shirtr or some stuff about it.

     The only thing that the public (your fans) know is that you have programming departments and that you have an art department, and what maybe you have music, so I myself am right now doing a good feedback on these comments, would be considered if you had a public relations department as "small" errors in a chain of communication that highlights how bad you are doing in this area, all this at least outside the forum.

    Public relations department or some ppl who knows about merchandising will help a lot.

     

     

    Also i told to elexis long time ago, normally in all games, or some money games , u dont see the connection and disconnection inside the lobby or menu, that indirectly encourages u to disconnect from the game.

    Hace 8 horas, el emperador dijo:

    Entonces, ¿está diciendo que perderé menos tiempo al hacer clic en cada unidad? Definitivamente, ¿mataré menos unidades de las que debería o debería intentar seleccionar cada unidad para atacar a otra unidad? Parece un poco como respuesta de troll, sin ofender, pero actualmente parece que lo es.

    ¿Cómo subir una repetición de mi juego? JC está abusando de eso todo el tiempo, pero hay muchos, muchos más jugadores que comenzaron a abusar de eso como su victoria para todos, incluso con un soldado normal. Ayuda un poco, solo por un tiempo más corto.

    Me llaman Michael Jackson, soy el jefe de la danza. Resolveré tus dudas con ello.  

    He encontrado una manera efectiva de beneficiar a mi parkinson, me encanta. Bailar es vida, bailar es amor.

    De todos modos estoy de acuerdo con sus puntos, excepto la selección de modo. Actualmente encuentro esa característica muy bien agregada, tal vez porque me acostumbré.

    Paz.

  14. 3 games, camelius vs the op borg.

    in Alpha 22

    Posted 

    a22 style.
1 game borg won, i won second and the third one, unfortunately his internet went down. Rly bad luck because i think i could won the last fight of 24cavs vs 17 and 2 slingers with almost no scape, unless he lost some cavs if i remember well. Sometimes happens the network, so sumering very happy for my first victory against borg. Legal guy, he missclicked in the game i won which the rank didnt count, so he made other one and insta loose for that. (if anyone has read until this, it means is very bored)
