The work so far on FPSCR has been great but, there are a few issues that I am having a hard time with. The Zombie pack and Construction kit has yet to arrive and after reading Lee's blog I see that the guys have started work on a character creator. As much as I would like to see a character kit, I'm wondering if the team has time to start new projects why cant they finish the old ones we have been patiently waiting for?

It is simple,
http://fpscrvote.thegamecreators.com/

As you can see, the cast vote is more or less the system that dictates whats important.

I was under the impression that the Construction kite was being worked on by a different member of the team anyway, so Lee probably isn't having much to do with it at present (leaving him free to start work on character creator)

I voted on that stuff ages ago. I forget it even exists! Unless it has changed though, the conkit is very low on the list, making me wonder why it has been even started. It may be changing all the time, I will have to remember to check it once in awhile. I am guessing many may have forgot about this also? Is it even used now?

My thoughts on why the character kit is being continued. It may well be that the zombies are being worked into it. I could be wrong, but it would make sense. The multi-player system may well need it for people to select their characters/teams look and avoid everyone looking the same. I'm also guessing that work in this area will be fairly fast as long as the media is ready, so we may well be happy it was added back into the mix. Or not, dependent on what people are expecting. I think it is going to be minimal, for now at least. I know it was started way back, so there may be less work than we anticipate to get it operational.

I do agree though it seems an odd choice bar the thoughts above, considering conkit has been in the works for ages now, and we still await it's arrival. Has work on that been continuing as well? Or is it in limbo at the moment?

A few things



- We do not use that voting system any more, the team knows where its efforts should be focused and that is where they are being focused. It may return at a later date, but with a few changes.

- The member of the team that was working on Conkit, is no longer working on it, it has been left now until after the next stable build.

- Zombies will be coming soon, I believe they are almost ready to go back into testing with alpha testers. I have had a build to play with and they are far far better than before so are worth the wait. There are a few engine bugs that have to be fixed though before they can be released and be really good, hence the wait for the next version.

- The character creator is much quicker and easier to build than the conkit, hence why it is being checked off the list for the Steam release.

- Further info on the ConKit and its progress has been covered in another thread here



For the last reason above there is no reason for yet another thread on this topic to exist, if you wish to discuss this topic further do so in the thread that already exists with far more info about the topic.
