In Response To: (P) issues (goran)

Well personally I have quite a bunch of maps sitting on my harddrive. But since I'm not sure yet which maps will be used for Giotto Island, I can't release them yet. Whenever GI is finished I plan to sit down and start throwing some maps at you. You could always pray that I'll finish GI soon :)

: Have the mapmakers died? Sad but true many actually have. Now if this is
: alephone fault or not I'm not sure. And I don't think you should go blame
: alephone for it either. How I see it is that every mapmaker nowadays jumps
: into creating big scenarios instead of creating normal sized maps. Big
: scenarios are good, but more often than not is the task too challenging
: and time consuming than the mapmakers predicted. Which leaves them dead
: some months later.

: Of course every scenario don't die, we have great examples of such. Take GoF
: and PoS for example. But the problem is still there none the less...it's
: takes all too long time in general. If there's no small maps to feed the
: people during the wait they will eventually starve.

: Myself I hunger for some new stuff to play right now... but by judging on
: situation it seems like the best I got is my own maps.

: In the future I hope for more mapmakers to choose the way of creating small
: things over big things. If everybody would do this, could you then imagine
: the flow of maps we would get. The healthy competition between mapmakers.
: Presumably this would favour the players too I belive.
: However this is just a mirage for me, I doubt it ever will come true.

:
:
:
: AlephOne!!? Now I gonna be a little more offense in my writing, you'll
: have to excuse me. I am very tired of all the ppl who blame Alephone for
: our current situation and hate the programmers for making the engine too
: power consuming for their stone age macs. Seriously does the nail that
: sticks up always need to get hammered down. AlephOne provides us with the
: most powerful and original features marathon seen to date, so now don't
: you ruin it. None to blame. I know you have the desire to point the finger
: and blame the other, but please don't. We don't get it better by your
: whining. Trust the power and fly with it.
