Well, LFS is different, and I'm glad it is. There are up- and downsides to this kind of approach, regarding development though.
In ten years, I will either rub this thread into many peoples faces, or have a laugh at myself for being far too optimistic (although it has helped me to school myself in patience quite a bit).
It didn't went dormant at all. Maybe for us, the users, but, at least according to the latest news from Scawen, it didn't, whatsoever. Besides that, I don't quite understand why "everyone" has to be kept occupied. Is there nothing else to play? I really don't get this bigotry. There are events, leagues, public servers, and if that's not enough for "you", go play something else. It's the old card I'm pulling out, yes, but it's the truth.
There is no lack of communication, just a huge amount of ignorance. Look at this thread, and simular ones. It's been explained, a thousand times, at least, still, as soon as the facts are been presented, someone replied as if all of this never happend.
You really believe you could shut up (most of the) people with that, or any other step in this regard? I have my doubts...
Exactly, I to see the unlimited potential, but at the same time, as sad as it is, there only is a limited amount of developers and time avaiable. Still, I'm quite optimistic that LFS will grow, in time, and no matter what happens though, there always will be a group of users that are unhappy, no matter what and how often something happens, and the rest will appreciate it for what it is, because they are able to understand the framework conditions.
Well, some people tend to ignore, or not consider other important factors in this respect, so it only makes sense that "some" of you are losing faith at some point. LFS took a very different approach from the very beginning, and they will most likely stick to that way for a long time, which means that, the further these guys are progressing, the slower development goes.
LFS, unlike other games is very different in many aspects, and if you don't get it, at least at some point, then you've made the wrong choise. But the only one to blame is yourself, since everything has been stated or said along the way. Simple as that.
Just don't come here and act as if you've never had a choise or there is nothing else to play with. That's just bare nonsense.
Ýup, it is the one clip from 2007 and no, I'm not involved at all, apart from the creation of this clip itself.
What will LFS be in 10 years? Well, i hope it's going to kick ass, but I'm afraid it doesn't. But then again, how could I, or anyone in that respect, be certain about the outcome at all anyways?!
The glass is half full, or in other words: Hoping for the best, and been prepared for the rest.
Well, one could argue if the drift that he'd pulled off comming out of T1 was actually the beginning of a whole series of contacts.
While being right behind him, you where braking but at some point, for some reason stopped braking for a second and then applied the throttle again for another second or so. I would say that at this point, you where simple too quick and thus responsible, period. Anyway, the contact you two had was infact nothing more than race incident in my opinion.
What I found sucked most was him then standing at a very crucial part of the track and having a cry about it.
It's the age of sensory overload (or ring tone generation) where most people are getting bored by new stuff extraordinary quickly. It seems like, the minute something gets released, it's already outdated. Look at how many times a game engine has only slightly been updated and then sold under a new name, or look at how often people are "in the need" to get themselves new toys'n gadgets, like "new" cell phones, mp3 players and whatever. Just to name a few examples.
I'm not saying that progress itself in general sucks, but the way it's happening or we as a society allowing it to happen certainly does.
Think about it, how can anyone, and especially those that have got a licence, that demand a faster pace of development be taken any serious? Explaining the conditions, over and over again is a waste of time and if you haven't read the fine print in the first place, tough shit, blame yourself, naggers.
Well said. Furthermore, at the same time though, people tend to forget about the "ordinary citizens" and the considerable high amount of freeloaders there.
Why do you think would I raise the question in the first place if I wouldn't know anything about the numbers?
Hugo was rather superstitious everytime he saw them (some place else though), after winning something. That's the connection I was trying to draw really.
But perhaps you where actually having something different in mind, so nevermind.
