Have you Given Up?

It just takes time to get all of that done.

wait... are you still making the game in GM? or are you switching to something else?

I am pretty sure he means he is finishing BSF in GML, but for BSF2 he will use C, C++, or another faster language.

At this rate, you won't have much of a community for long...

Just one question. I think if you're doing this, there's not much of a point adding any more features to BSF 1. However, the one thing that would be good is adding the GML scripting to encounters, because that would give us something to do that would easily last until BSF 2 comes out. More importantly, you could see what kind of things we come up with, and possibly use some in BSF 2. I'm just wondering how hard it actually would be for you to add scripting to encounters, and if it really would let us do pretty much anything if we're good with coding.

This has to be the best thing that happened in history. I love this thread.

I must admit it. It had been more that two months since a big update. I worried. I feared. I prayed. I knew that things were in the works, but I grew restless and began to grow weary of waiting. My faith faultered. Mea culpa.

BSF is such a good game. It had balance and heart. It feels right. Thank you for your continued efforts th15.

Just the thought of more speed, more options, and multiplayer all serve to inspire us. If there is anything that we, as a community, can do to assist you, please ask.

best wishes,
Stryder

Important question:

Will this "re-do" of BSF in the new engine turn out to be BSF 0.90, or BSF2 0.01?

Another question: is there anything that we, as a community, can do to help in the development? Like, make new sections (

), weapons, pixel/sprite art, that kind of stuff?

Are you using C++ or C? You haven't told us. It sounds logical, but you may as well use C# or VB at this point. Or have not not decided?

no such thing as too many sections, besides, i would also be willing to add my help anywhere it is needed.

Maybe ideas for new weapons and modules?

Wonder if this new version, if that would come out, uses vector graphics on ships?
