Well, since Seraph already spilled the beans, i might as well clarify stuff he got wrong...

No, not really. In fact, i think th15 didnt even know about multiplayer at the time 'change in attitude' happened.

th15 didnt really say he would suddenly start moderating, he just gave the official stamp of approval. I didnt stop caring, i just figured it worked and everything is fine, and after what happened i... don't think its a good idea for me to participate.
Anna wrote:Of course, whether we see that something, which apparently they already had working almost perfectly, is up for debate, since apparently th15 and Kaelis aren't getting along right now.
So if you want to know why you don't have Multiplayer BSF, it's because th15 and Kaelis aren't mature enough to resolve their problems civilly and get the awesome done.
...
But we're not getting to see any advancements, because th15 doesn't care (I'm guessing), and Kaelis is a wonderful antisocial jerk and they had a lover's quarrel which they still haven't gotten over, and I'm fucking sick of keeping all this under my hat since it looks like we're never gonna see any of it anyway.
Now thats just unfair, you're either twisting shit to fit your narrative or talking about something you have no idea about.
Anna wrote:Multiplayer is done. Let me make that clear.
Um. No. Its not done. It needs lots of testing, bugfixing and some additional coding. Only the basics of networking are done.
Anna wrote:To the best of my knowledge, th15 and Kaelis had it working somewhere in the region of well over four months ago. From what I heard, though I could be mistaken, they had it working very well at that.
Again... not really. You make it sound as if it was basically finished. Well, it wasnt, far from it. Also, 'th15 and Kaelis' - i was working on it alone, th15 only helped with testing once or twice, less than Arcalane did, in fact. Heck, now that i think about it, ever since the beginning of CE th15 never did any real work on BSF, except some tweaks to the surfaces and of course explaining/helping with the source.

Yes, the only thing it's missing is multiplayer, oh and a complete camgaign, a
decent encounter maker, some more terrain options in sandbox/encounter maker - there's only so much you can do with what we've got
I know its a bit cruel of me to say this now, but back when i was working on multiplayer, i was also doing some stuff in the general direction of lua scripting for encounters...

Yeah, couldnt agree more. Its the sole reason i started coding multiplayer - to pour some life into BSF.
Bad Boy wrote:But seriously though, I'm a little saddened by this and that no one else seems particularly outraged about this, cause it's pretty (really super) fucking retarded.
Now hold on there, do you think im happy about this? I spent around two months out of work just to code the multiplayer, not to mention all the other stuff ive added to BSF. Sure, its th15's game, but with the beginning of CE it was my baby, too. So, yeah, its outrageous, retarded etc and i was pretty angry too when it was clear that shit hit the fan, but theres just not much i can do about it, not to mention that i sure as hell am not gonna work with someone who treats me like shit. Plus, right now, i cannot afford to spend time on hobby projects.

Oh, i got over alright. If i didnt, id be starting a rebellion or something.
Bad Boy wrote:What I mind is that it's almost done, but isn't being finished cause they had a, as it was so wonderfuly phrased by Anna, "lover's quarrel".
Err, i know im biased, but for what its worth - the info Anna is giving you is not accurate, so better not base your judgement on that.
