Ns Going Final?

Panguins · November 2004

Seems like ns is going final.

but is it gonna take a while to finish since voogru left the coding team?

anyways... Are we gonna have 2 buy it?

NS is and always will be free. <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/smile-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile-fix.gif' />

voogru left?!
Man I'm behind. <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/sad-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='sad-fix.gif' />
Why wasn't there an announcement or something... :S

Anyway. There are plenty of hardworking devs out there, so I am sure NS will continue to develop and prosper.

DMech, you sure?
I mean, if I was Charlie, I'd know I have a big business oportunity here. Pressumeably he's planning to get PAID at UE, so there must be some product out there.
Wonder if I've still got that pic of the NS retail box...

NS will always be free, but NS 2 won't. I think that's going to be a completely different game, though. It's funny when you think about it, you could look at NS as one big advertisement.

Zunni · November 2004

to clear up the rumour voogru has not left the dev team at this time.. But my understanding is real life is taking up much of his time.

exileSoul · November 2004

*sigh*...

Natural-Selection WILL NOT GO RETAIL, in order to do that they will have to sell their rights to VALVE, which they said they wont do.

But Natural-Selection TWO will be a retail game based on a next-gen engine.

Yeah, God, I mean, if you've coded for months to make a game, the LAST thing you want is to be PAID for it.

I doubt NS will be on its own engine. Flay will pay the liscence.

Malevolent · November 2004

Yes, NS won't go retail. It has been stated many times that it will be free forever. However, NS2 will likely be retail and will be on a next generation engine.

I know. How dare these people who code for a living, ask for money in return for their hard work. <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/mad-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='mad-fix.gif' />

yeah NS will always be free untill Valve will step in and say "how much"
then NS will turn into DOD and CS..

GG Valve!! its only a matter of time

Goofy · November 2004

Soo um DOD and CS cost money now do they? Thats news to me. Only Costs if you want to buy the retail pack.

SilverFang · November 2004

Two things.

First, as hip and trendy as it might be to look down on Valve, I don't see many other developers funding college kids with a good idea. Yep, it gets Valve money, too. Is that something to be ashamed of?

Second, Charlie wants to play this through his own way. He owns UWE, UWE owns Natural Selection. So this mod will likely not go retail in any shape or form. If Charlie gets the funding, you might have to pay for a full-fledged NS2, though.

and i thought with the imminent release of hl2, worshipping valve like gods is the "hip and trendy" thing to do at the moment <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/wink-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='wink-fix.gif' />
