Just make sure the gameplay kicks arse and it runs on Linux.

As for Urban Terror, I'm not worried. The greatest custom maps have all become more or less popular in the past, so it's not as bad as some are saying. I'm sure the community will be able to help itself for some more years. I don't see it dying anytime soon, until there is something that is really worthy of being its successor.

Whatever happens, I will continue to frag ass if there are players and low pings.

I mean. UrT is the greatest q3a mod (if not the greatest mod of all times) and has survived for all these years. The art, the maps, everything is TOP NOTCH. The outcome is a well-balanced, fun, challenging game. All of that for free.

ROCK ON, FS.

If Frozen Sand comes out with a game in the same style I'd be happy. Fast, skill-biased, FPS. I never became a top player but had a lot of fun even losing. Hrm, I wonder if you can snipe with bastard swords......

yup, well it would be nice to actually put together a true retail project. Will it happen? Eh, maybe. Many things need to fall into place for that to happen, this project, as long as it has been sustained has been interesting, but a retail project would require much more

FWIW we just released 4.0 April 1st. Do you honestly think we would turn around and declare the game "dead"?



From my point of view, I read the comment 'no more releases past 4.1' to mean "we don't feel that there will be things that require fixing after 4.1".. like BK said, if something comes up it comes up.. but everyone feels the games solid now.. so it's not like in 2.x where there were games of musical coder to contend with (2.x saw the arrival and departure of at least 3 coders that I know of)... but it's been essentially the same coders since 3.x. They know their sh!t and work well together and keep the vision of how they want the game to play in sight and that's why 4.x plays super nice =)


And if you want my serious answer to this thread's question, it's actually a question:

Isn't it a wise choice to throw your support behind the third party guys for new maps for every new release of any game you think is good?

The game lasts longer because people don't get sick of the same old maps in rotation, and the 3rd party mapper sees their map on a a server with people in it that he didn't ask to go there to playtest. You don't realise how much of a rush it is to see people playing something you made as a community mapper, unless you are or have been a community mapper. So if you throw your support behind them, they'll have a reason to want to open the editor and make a map and give it to you, instead of everyone relying "on the next game patch" for a new map, and ignoring the 3rd party scene (which happened in 2.x). It's that simple.

Think about it:

There's actually quite a few new faces posting in the Level Design section of late, and also, A Wily Duck recently released a mapping installer package that makes setting up for mapping in Urban Terror 4.0 super easy... So an influx of interest in making a new Urban Terror map is certainly possible.. And that's not even counting the third party guys that have been around and still are around..

So if you give the third party guys a reason to want to continue  by visiting the level design forums and checking out whats there, and giving comments/feedback to them so they know what you want... and know that there's interest, and then actually asking the server admin of your favorite server to stock whatever map youre interested in that ends up getting released.. Then you've just broken the viscious circle of the "I'm sick of the same old maps!" syndrome now, haven't you?


I wouldn't worry about it. I don't =)
