Rick Posted August 30, 1999 Share Posted August 30, 1999 When Charles codes in new things into the game is that getting incorporated into the game they are playing? Or, do they have to wait until this game is finished to see the new features? Pretty sure this post doesn't give away any info. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Big Time Software Posted August 31, 1999 Share Posted August 31, 1999 Nope, doesn't give anything away at aoo We have only updated the game once to fix a problem that was hanging up the game. We also had to do one file hack due to a bug in the scenario editor (well, more of a design flaw). Other than that they haven't received updates from us. We figured continuity was better than fixing things as they went. Plus, Charles is up to his eyeballs in AI right now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick Posted August 31, 1999 Author Share Posted August 31, 1999 Thanks for the answer. When Charles starts work on a different part of the program, does he have any idea how long it will take, or does it just take as long as it takes? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Big Time Software Posted September 1, 1999 Share Posted September 1, 1999 He's pretty good at estimating. But sending out patches takes time for him to prepare, so he likes to save up fixes. The PC patches are more time consuming to do because all images are stored as individual BMPs (open and closing individual files, making new ones, etc.), while the Mac's are in a nice resource file (nicely laid out graphically with only a double click and paste needed). So I get builds more frequently than others 'cause I'm special Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick Posted September 1, 1999 Author Share Posted September 1, 1999 Glad to hear he's so good at estimating. Gee is there anything bad you can say about Charles? Just a joke, no need to answer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Big Time Software Posted September 1, 1999 Share Posted September 1, 1999 Yes, actually. He has a cable modem, rot his soul But I get even with him. I don't tell him what models are being worked on, but I do tease and hint a whole lot! Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest KwazyDog Posted September 1, 1999 Share Posted September 1, 1999 Hehehe You should use them as trade for the build with the AI in Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
