The name's Smike. The Smike. Just to make things clear, I'm single,
and my only child is my computer - SmikeBot.
ScarabKing(16:05 PM) :
Oh OK. Well then hows SmikeBot?
Smike(16:05 PM) :
He's fine, although I have to defragment him soon.
ScarabKing(16:07 PM) :
Ah, good, send him my regards. How are things going with the Klystron
Project?
Smike(16:09 PM) :
Very well! I could go into details, but suffice it to say that every
member is doing their share of quality work, and we're all very
excited all the time about all the new things that are always happening.
It's a great team, and it's great working on The Project.
ScarabKing(16:10 PM) :
Ah, great news! So do you have any inside news for the viewers in
the audience....*crickets chirp*.... or are you going to go a Narcissust
Entity on us?
Smike(16:14 PM) :
Well, we want to surprise everyone (ourselves most of all) when
all this great art, code, maps, animation and sound all come together
to create something really fantastic. So far, we want to keep everything
rather secret, but if there is anything that you might want a little
more inside info on, than I'm sure I could spread some light on
a more specific subject. I will say that there will be a secondary
fire mode, which should greatly change the weapon system (two modes
of firing mode selection).
ScarabKing(16:22 PM) :
Sounds very cool, I will definately have to grab this mod when it
comes out, any planned release date?
Smike(16:22 PM) :
Summer of this year.
Smike(16:22 PM) :
I think that's realistic, but who knows!
ScarabKing(16:24 PM) :
Wondeful! Tell me, Smikey-O, what do you think of the predicament
the DX mod community is in, and how do you think aspiring modders
can help?
Smike(16:30 PM) :
Well, this has been said by several people several times, and I
belive that there are more than two editorials about this by now.
I think that if you want to mod DX (good choice), then you should
definitely JOIN one of the many mods that need people. DO NOT START
A NEW DX MOD!! As I have seen, most of these new mods (not Preachers)
die pretty quickly on us because of a lack of help and support from
the community of modders out there who all want their own mod. The
DX community's problem is that there are too many little gnat mods
that ask for help and never get it. I have had to turn down more
people that have wanted to help our mod than I have wanted to, because
I have had to send them to help other mods that really need the
help. Most of these people end up not wanting to help these smaller
mods, and than they either drop out of modding entirely, or they
go to Max Payne.
