SE5 progress

It's supposed to mean that this group turned into the "l33t" club for SE5 discussion not for everyone, right?

Sorry for offense Gandalf, but the original post sounded not very good too.

By "this group" you mean the forum here? I never saw this as an elite group. Quite the opposite in fact. Its a very open and friendly community. Or is it the yahoo group you meant?

Most people have forgotten that email list after the Shrapnel BBs took over as the main support forum. Now you'll see thousands of people jump back on there and you won't get near as much information, let alone input, as Aaron has to quit posting or even reading under the sudden explosion of traffic!

I am afraid that the light at the end of the tunnel that was SEV has been turned out do to fiscle (sp) cut backs.

Call your local gamer and have them buy SE IV and Starfury in order to fund the electical costs for the computers needed to produce SE V.

Yes I spoke about that yahoo group. And Baron's comment just confirmed my suspictions

Well it's usual dualism, afterall: if you're too open to suggestions - you're flooded, if you're not - no feedback at all. Should be the golden mean there, but it's difficult then where's thousand plus one fans who have their own opinion about the next game

Well I was in email conversation with Aaron which helped to prompt the hints about too much OT, and the suggestions to start stickies on subjects Aaron can zoom into. It seemed better than his suggestion to start another forum for him.

Im hoping he will poke his head in here soon. I think its much easier to spot SE technical subjects.

Someone needs news about SE5 eh, well as one of the 'Official' Artists working on se5. (I'm building the UI with Aaron) Let me say this,..

The Development is comming along nicely. Aaron got the game engine up and running about 2 months ago. (I can attest to this because I have an early alpha Version) Aaron and I are currently working on inserting all the different UI elements. (He's working, I'm just making his work look good form a visual perspective)

I believe that Aaron said on Yahoo that in a couple more months, he'll be posting some screenshots. (patience is indeed a virtue, but it's a high cost vurtue.)

I know it's not much info, but I am under an NDA after all.

Cheers!

P.S. I wouldn't worry if I were you, SE:V is going to surpass all of your expectations. (It has allready surpassed all of mine.)

Have a great day.
