just finished renegade singleplayer on hard again a few days ago. So i checked out this site again.
I was waiting (with others) for RenegadeX to be released as stand-alone game since this website exists.
Now i think you screwed it.
A lot of people wanted this multiplayergame and you got a lot of awards, but this happened years ago.
It really is a shame that you were not able to release this finished multiplayergame as stand alone in an adequate timespan.
Even if you will release it in a few months 98% of the former interested players will not recognize or play it, but i think you will never release the stand alone version.
The mod itself was a very good idea, but even the release of this very poor singleplayer was no good comercial for you.
Anyway, Thanks for all the hard work!
look. C&C renegade wasn't rushed either. did that make it lose all it's customers? no.
The dev team is trying to get a decent game out of this. sure, you can release an update every month, and get feedback at least once in a week like at bluehell productions, but did that give them lots of players? no.
i downloaded RA: A Path Beyond 4 days ago, but when i looked at the server list, there only were like 10 players online. was it worth the frequent updates? i don't know. did it make any diffrence? probably not.
sure, people like to know what is going on, but if there is nothing to tell, why waste your time. though this would be a good moment to at least say how far they came so far.
honestly i don't want to wait either. but i have to, and i accept it. if the dev team could work with the UDK since the beginning, the standalone MP version most probably would have come out now. maybe it would be smarter to do so by now, because you can get some beta testers to send some feedback. this way you at least know what the fans want. but you would decrease the overall satisfaction, because people already played it, and there will be less to wait for. so, some more updates would be nice, maybe some teasers or something, or maybe send a monthly broadcast (e-mail) to all people registered to the forums, so they at least remember they were waiting for a game.
if you really can't wait a little longer for the standalone version to come out, the exit is at the red button at the upper-right corner. becuase it isn't gonna get released soon. and maybe it's supposed this way.
