I've been thinking about this long and hard and I can no longer commit to what it takes to create a port of Hellgate London. At least for now, I am scaling back our project scope to the indefinite modification of Hellgate London SP and all the other goodies that will come to the community. The thing is there is still so much to be done before the assets are even ready to be ported into a new environment. I now understand I only have enough time to contribute the development of a Hellgate London SDK that allows people to mod out Hellgate London and make it possible for someone else to port Hellgate. Even though Hellgate is likely to be released to us within the next 12 months, we will keep working on this SDK indefinitely. This is where we have been for the last 16 months and will just have to draw out the process as long as it takes.


EDIT: Btw now the project has scaled back, I am now developing my own game :) I started on it about 4 days ago working day and night. But anyways, it's all in the works atm I'll spill more when I have something more solid ;)

Sad news. But I suppose it is probably for the best.

Post Re: No more MP development.. SDK continues
Makes sense. I know I don't post much but I'm here everyday. With Hanbitsoft supposedly releasing MP back to the world, I can see demand for a "LAN patch" rapidly dwindling. Thanks for continuing with the SDK.

Mayean, you and the other devs have done awesome work unwinding the buggy mess that is our favorite game, and built a solid community. That's no small feat. You all should be proud.

Just wondering are there any plans for the SDK to be able to integrate some of the 2.0 patch assets into the 1.2 game? I mean any chance we'll be able to create mods that import mythic items or re-skin Chocolate Park with the Abyss tile set?

Can't wait to see what you've come up with!

Oaty

Thanks for being honest, and thanks for all the work you've already done towards the single player game! Best of luck with your new project.

This is unfortunate but understandable. The work you guys have put in up to this point is very admirable and I thank you for it.

Sadly, I have little to no confidence in Hanbiton actually relaunching the game here, so for me I think Hellgate multiplayer is dead for good.

Sad news indeed for those hoping for a LAN experience soon, however as I came to Hellgate only after the MP was already dead, It's always been about the SP game for me ... Looking forward with great relish to the SDK (and dare I hope one day to be able to mod the video/music/3D assets of HG:L)

Post Re: No more MP development.. SDK continues
Judging from how big the Reanimator project is, how long it is taking and considering that this is a spare time project for many of us developers it is sad, but quite understandable... However I have high hopes that the scope of the SP tool development/modding will be expanded (even if just a bit) and some interesting ideas and possibilities for SP mode that were previously dropped due to the higher priority of the port will be reconsidered.

@maeyan: You aren't by any chance developing your small game using C# and the XNA Game Studio? xD

Post Re: No more MP development.. SDK continues
I wouldn't say LAN is dead, we are still opening the door for someone else to step in and create the port :) It just takes someone with a little determination and know how. Then again they still need to wait for the completion of our SDK.

It is quite feesable to be able to get a lot of the MP content into SP. Some will be easy, others will take more work to workaround missing parts from the exe. Before we get there you will see the creation of new items. :)

Kite summed our position up well. And thank you everyone for the kind support.. its awesome
PS im using Java Kite :)

Post Re: No more MP development.. SDK continues
These all sound like good choices. My greatest hope is that someday an "hgl" themed indy game is born of all this, something sufficiently different that Hanbit would never have a case against it, but close enough to the original material that we will love on it.

Further development on the SP front has always been what I wanted to see more of and I hope that new user created content will develop over time.

I am gonna keep hanging out and thanks for all the fish.

Post Re: No more MP development.. SDK continues
its sad but I understand, anyway you and other devs have done a huge work already by making the most unmodable game modable.
I wish you everything good in anything you start to work on ;) ...
and something tells me that you will get back to revival at some point in the future... and this "something" has never let me down yet :) ...
and I'm staying here anyway till my comp is alive, because this place has become much more than just a game's fan site :) .

Post Re: No more MP development.. SDK continues
I'm afraid I may have sounded a bit negative in my previous post ... My sincere apologies to Maeyan and the other Revival developers ... Nothing could have been further from my mind, As BotMaster has said, this site has become way more than just a simple game forum site, It's now a real community, and I also will continue to post and create mods while ever I can

Well we got Reanimator out, as for 2.0 this is still no where near finished. I can't put a release date on this, however we will continue to pump out Reanimator updates in the meantime. We can already see exciting new mods merging since release.

Kudos to Mayean and others for their time and effort. I'm very happy with what I've got so far and I know for sure that there will be more. Furthermore I really love my Aussie sweetheart and will never cheat on her with some slut at a certain Korean brothel.
Ahhh feel much better know... :mrgreen:

Post Re: No more MP development.. SDK continues
All I can say is our devs are fukin awesome! You guys took up this project out of the simple fact that you didn't want see a game you enjoy die. You all have done a fantastic job, that the rest of us can only dream to be able to accomplish. I put in my little bit to help out, and I plan to continue to contribute in any way I possibly can for the continued future of this great project.

Hopefully see all you peeps in the alpha/beta of Hanbit's Ressurection should it hit our shores! And continued support to Revival!

My hat's off to the entire Revival team :D

Post Re: No more MP development.. SDK continues
Sad news maeyan, but like you said reanimator is out and 2.0 is in the wings + a complete SDK down the road.......the modders are going to go nuts with the new tools, I've already been so busy playing with other peoples mods lately that I haven't finished any that I started (go figure).

So keep up the good work on the SP and we'll be happy

I haven't been around much lately. But I've been logging on almost every day to keep up with things. The Reanimator and SP mods have given more to the community than we ever expected they could. So kudos to you on that. Can't say I'm not a little sad, but I'm also finishing up my degree over the next 3 weeks, and after that, I plan to use the UDK to begin production on a game of my own. I'll still be around, and as always, don't hesitate to ask if you need anything Maeyan.
