BoB Sequel in the works already...can we have this one working first please?

From today's update:

"Marina Kurdyukova, our MAI-educated 3D modeler who continues to create great-looking 3D models for BoB’s sequel."

That must be a very lonely job with everyone fixing this one?

Which 3d models need fixing?

Mysticpuma · #3 07-01-2011, 05:34 PM

All the AI aircraft that could be made flyable, shipping, submarines, infantry, squirrels

I totally understand that they are working on side-projects. Basically the 3D modeller is doing stuff, probably not only just to add more things for the future, but to give the community glimpses of what's in store and further boost the marketing value of IL-2 sturmovik NG (next generation) :p

i still HATE that they dropped the storm of war title. renaming it IL-2 over again is just... weird :p

3D modlellers make 3D stuff.. they don't code AI or work on the sound engine. They also get paid every week and once they finish the current project they move on to the next one. People can't be sitting around doing nothing. This game is planned for the long haul and to be successful they need to keep to the plan. Continually work to fix and improve the base code while developing new content.

After one project finishes (no matter what state that's in), the next one begins. That's how business works. There is no money in making what's already been sold better.

You'd rather these guys were fired?

With luck, the framework from this project is also being used for the next one, and when that is being made the framework can be made to work better for the previous one too (I think that's what happened with IL*2 as was), but that's not necessarily the case.

+1 to Jagr's post, although there are a number of BoB A/C which would definitely fit in the game (A Hampden, anyone?)

[Speculation mode on]

If 3D modellers are already tackling the Eastern Front this might mean the Royal Navy destroyers, other cargo ships and additional aircraft are already finished or close to be finished and are waiting for import.

Me too, I agree, what can be fixed now can be fixed now, what can't be fixed now might get fixed later and in the mean while new stuff can still be addad.

Now that I got her name I'll mail her and ask her to fix a carrier.
