Post Whats going on at ANH

Quote:
We have been in our summer mode for the last few months which means we all have been on vacations, out enjoying our summer, and spending time with our kids. We have been doing small things here and there, but we arent ready to devulge what we have been working on this summer. Dont everyone get your hopes up we arent done yet.

We recently had a few Devs retire, and are in need of new developers. If you are looking for a team to work with and know c++ please send us your resume. We would like to see what you got and if you can help us bring Pre-CU back to life.

Alot of ppl are saying other teams are ahead of us in progress, this maybe true to some degree, but we dont cut corners and half code something in just so ppl can have some form of Pre-CU to play. We arent dogging the other teams for doing this, we just feel that to get the game right we dont want to put something in just to make the community feel all gitty.

On a more community friendly enviroment you all will be seeing a new website comming in the next few weeks. This new site really looks alot better than the current version, and has alot more details on us and what we are doing. We will also be hosting a community forum for members to chat about ANH and we can keep track of all your questions, and answer them in one location. We decided to do this cause with all the communities following us it was getting to difficult reading all over the web and tring to answer you all. This brings all this into one location, more details will come later on this.

The summer is almost over and we will be back to our normal hammering away on the code.

This doesn't say anything really.

"Yeah we were at the beach all summer some guys retired. There's been some talk about how SWGEMU has way more features than us but our stuff has less bugs because well theres less stuff.
We look forward to keeping you posted on what's going on in the future. Look for another press release like this around Xmas."

Don't get me wrong I like everyone involved with ANH I really do and I have tremendous respect for the devs but the communication level and output level at this point is really bad. I'm a lead tester and I have no idea what is going on really.

I don't know what to think. I understand you want to be with your kids and whatever and that's fine. but at the same time they were way too late with this. and come on, you don't have time to add anything? I understand a slow down but this was screeching hault.

I don't guess we can ever expect a playable game from ANH during summer. That's ok though as summers should be spent swimming rather than playing computer games.

Im just glad we heard from them, its been far too long since thier last update. I dont think you can really be upset with thier "update" per se just because this is a total volunteer effort. What I do think would be the best idea at this time is for SWG ANH to say, "Ok were far behind now and the EMU is still not close to being finished, lets just bite the bullet and talk with SWGEMU and join forces and finally finish this thing." -will it happen, probably not...

They updated it :

We have been doing small things here and there, but we aren’t ready to divulge what we have been working on this summer. Don’t everyone get your hopes up, we aren’t done yet.

We are currently seeking new developers, as some members of our current team have recently retired. If you are looking for a team to work with and know C++ (or even C#/.NET/Delphi/VB/etc - we always have room for tool developers!) please send us a short resume of your relevant skills and experience. We would like to see what you’ve got and if you can help us bring Pre-CU back to life.

For the community: you all will be seeing a new website coming in the next few weeks. The new site looks much better than what we have now, and contains many more details about the project, the team, and what we are working on at currently. We will also be hosting a community forum for members to chat about SWG:ANH and so that we can keep track of all your questions and answer them in one location. We decided to do this because with all the communities following us it was getting to difficult reading forums all over the web and trying to answer you all. This brings everything into one location. More details about this will follow.

Now that the summer is almost over we are getting back to our normal hammering away on the code…we hope you are looking forward to the coming updates as much as we are!


90% of that was a cry for help. They need coders very badly.

They added the other stuff there to make it look like anything but a cry for help, IMHO.

Why do people want this so badly? It will never happen. The sooner you accept it, the sooner you can move on :p

If you knew both sides of the argument like I do, you'd understand that the idea of merging the teams or making a whole new team is just infeasible. It just wont happen.

what's wrong with hope? I do realize this will never happen for reasons I don't know nor understand. that doesn't mean I can't dream.

Well I know that I want this because SWGEMU is really humming along and they are by far in the lead in terms of overall completed coding. I spent a gazillion hours working on ANH and don't want to see my time and credit for the work flushed because the other team put out a solid product first and it's looking like it's going to be that way. I want the bragging rights of being able to say I worked on this as a tester and my work helped to bring this to existence. I've recently been testing SWGEMU quite a bit for this reason. If and when ANH has some sort of monumental update that puts them back into the race then I'll resume over there.

the thing is they won't have any monumental update unless they get more coders that know what they are doing. plain and simple.

thats because if they joined forces it would go faster due to their skills being combined. However the whole secrecy thing from every team is not good and is negatively affecting every team (including GR). Although the secrecy will not stop due to unhealthy paranoia, hurt feelings , constant team clashing and everyone working separately than together.

Currently the "Security" that defends these "Secrets" is almost non-existant and thus information that is told to the community is constantly changed or different from every news source. The paranoia really needs to stop its no longer helping and it should not really need to be so. As I said the secrecy has been backlashing/backfiring and people interested in the EMU think that nobody is doing anything. So maybe all the teams can agree to let out alittle more information so that the community knows that all the teams are doing something?
