Zunni's Get Selected Interview

Zek · September 2004

1.04 was a mess compared to 2.01. The only things I miss about that version are permagorging and old blink.

Yeah i'm agreeing here, we all know in real life the defending aliens can't see you reloading. unless they're using lightgamma hacks of course... oh wait, that's locked now.

Whats with all the hate? I'm not complaining and it is a nice feature to have, but if it delayed any <i>meaningful</i> progress with NS then it was just a waste of time. </td></tr></table><div class='postcolor'>
The reload animations have been done for some time now, it was just a matter of getting them in, which they are being put in and I was enthused, hence the thread. They won't really help much but they will add to that complete feel that NS has slowly been garnering.

And the .txt people seem to be some [c*b] people and a couple of some E.C groupies. If you want more can't info you just follow the link in SentrySteves sig [which is seven posts up]?

oh and <3 Marik

and zek, I miss those things too, but I don't miss 1.xx, new lerk flight model makes 1.xx obscenely obsolete.

that link is in sentrysteves sig, not teppla's >_<

Zunni · September 2004

So let's quickly review:

When not 1 dev was talking about the game at all publically, and no-one even knew if they were alive? People complained.

So I was brought in to try to share some tidbits of data, and so I start doing that, and People complain..

I know a feature that people have wanted in the game for ages that is going in so I decide to give it out as a teaser for B6,... and people complain..

I can go back to my primary job (getting gaming magazines/site to talk about NS) and not say anything about upcoming releases, if people would prefer?

Axel_Stone · September 2004

They need to go play NS_Metal, to get more cheese with thier whine... You can't please everyone zunni, its the internet, where the whiners love to <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/lerk.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='lerk.gif' /> and complain. Keep up the work. GJ GG.

Because you know, there's no such thing as having a different experience from someone else.

Nicely said Zunni <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/smile-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile-fix.gif' />

No, since your additon to the team things have gotten much better around here. I like the sence of hope that I get when I read your posts. Yes, interest in NS comes and goes, but each version makes it a little bit better.

So please, stay and post a lot - It makes my day to get even a little snippet from the dev team.

Zunni, you are much appreciated <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/smile-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile-fix.gif' />

Don't worry Zunni, people complain more loudly than they agree. I still wub you. <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/wink-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='wink-fix.gif' />

IBT · September 2004

with b6 coming, the ability to do a dirty dirty trick with the hmg goes. sigh...

Jane · September 2004

So things won't look any different from the marine standpoint, they'll only look different from the alien standpoint?

If this is the case then wootness, sounds cool.

. . . and like they said . . . people LOVE to complain, it's just more fun.

He means flight model in the sense of the way you actually fly using the lerk, not the model of the lerk while in flight. While lerky does HAVE the flappy animation, for some reason it doesn't like playing unless the lerk is spamming its jump key.

Yeah I'd like to see something done about that, although it isn't majorly noticable, it would have a big impact on the game, knowing a lerk is about.

Alkiller · September 2004

Oh no the devs are finally listening to us and adding in what we asked to be put in for so long heavens forbid!

No, now you'll be able to see your squadmates reloading, which is valuable info if you know there's aliens around (so you don't all try to reload at once).

At the same time, the aliens will now know when to attack to catch a rambo with his pants down. HMGers beware, you better work on your pistoling <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif' />

BlackMage · September 2004

i'm just going to say yay and <3 zunni

todd1Ok · September 2004

I may be stating the obvious, and i know 99% of us have copped this already, but for the remaining 1% who still dont understand, when the phrase "3rd person reloads" is used, it means other people can see you reloading. before, all's they can do is hear you doing it. the trick referred to earlier is firing off 1 bullet, reload, wait for a skulk to make his move, quick reswitch, and blast his hide.

nothing changes from the person who's reloading's perspective, just makes things look alot cooler.
