Indeed cant argue that point,but my point is your looking at a perfect situation,some people need/want more/less etc.
Anything is possible.

what your suggesting is everything is set up up front so when people go home at night they know they'll have a job in the morning.

With a game like this you need to be more frugal.

Good god,maybe the cushy jobs are all gone:rolleyes:

Ohh and we dont need a worthless director do we...

Has to be a coder/director.

I like to take the time to appoligize If I've offended anyone with this thread.That was not my intention,I simply wanted to ignite a fire in this gaming community regarding post WW2 combat.

I have no right to make some of the comments I made because I've not coded a **** thing.





I'm thinking now it was definetly a waste of time.



Eduardo -> (6/1/2002 10:30:02 AM)

It was a good idea, but the problem is . . . who will collect the money? Somebody has to before passing it on to Matrix.

See, the idea of the MegaCampaigns was to obtain cash to feed the programmers, and of course to make us happy warriors:D

If more people buy the already sold out MegaCampaigns, then Matrix can fill its warchess and continue its production of the next project.

Time to get some zzzzzzz before the morning smell of cordite.

I would pay BIG bucks for a modern warfare SPWAW. Come up with a development cost and than do a pre order list, wait a few months, see how many orders you get, devide that into your costs ( with a small profit ;) ) and come up with a price. If this time period has only a few people interested than the cost would be high, but I for one wouldn't expect only to pay $50 for a limited run game.

Talk about money....no problem....tell me when it is ready.....I am still waiting for that combat leader....



Les_the_Sarge_9_1 -> (6/3/2002 8:42:27 PM)

I think what everyone is failing to realise, is that its not just about money.

Sure money is a big thing to be sure.

But come on guys, Steel Panthers (in any form or incarnation) is yesterday.

It was and still is a great game.

But it's not tomorrow.

If I was a coder and had a choice of work on a tired game that might interest a handful of enthusiasts, or work on the next generation of software......

My choice would be to work on the next generation of software (so I didn't end up getting left out of the loop).

There is no way my time would be purchasable. Especially when my time could be spent on advancing the hobby through developing the successors to Steel Panthers.

I have heard comments with respects to the cost of the initial installment of Combat Leader. It isn't going to be easy getting it for me specifically.
If the game comes out, and flops economically from people refusing to let go of Steel Panthers and let it enjoy it's retirement years, you will likely be putting a nail in Matrix's financial stability.

And that will me that everything starts to fade. Future games, this Forum and the whole enchilada.

My love is with Steel Panthers, but my cash is heading off to Combat Leader.

Les, you're right.



MacCready -> (6/4/2002 2:19:15 AM)

Well SP-MBT comes out in a few days,guess it'll have to do...

Though a recoded windows friendly version of SP-MW would have been awesome.



Rick Borovec -> (6/4/2002 5:23:51 AM)

My money is on Combat Leader too!

But, in the mean time if you want to play Modern Battles, SPww2 is about to come out with their updated verison. Probable not as great as a SPWAW version would be, but good enough to satisfy the majority of us.

RockinHarry -> (6/4/2002 9:09:07 PM)

I´m not a big modern warfare fan so I can easily wait for modern version of Combat Leader, whenever it comes!

EEEEWWWWWWW don't let Mac hear ya say the Harry heheh:)



MacCready -> (6/5/2002 2:00:37 AM)

I heard it.

Even though I prefer post ww2(the weapons are so much cooler)
I have SPWAW and all the MC's installed on my better pc.



antarctic -> (6/5/2002 1:30:14 PM)

Sorry to pour ice all over you lovely thread guys. I think that Matrix will not be able to make a commercial version of modern SP. I've heard that when SSI gave Matrix the sourcecode for SP, they attached a proviso that Matrix couldn't earn any money from it by selling it directly. This means that if Matrix wanted to sell a modern wargame, it would have to develope it from scratch..... Combat Leader (Plus the Modern expansion pack, if it ever comes out).

Should have thought of this earlier. Sorry.

PS, I didn't create the nickname Antarctic because of this post :-)

PPS. For those who are desperate, head over to the SPCammo site. They're releasing a modern SP game SPMBT on July 14 (Yup. the release date got pushed back a week...... I seem to be full of good news, don't I)



Alby -> (6/6/2002 5:25:33 AM)

june 14 not july 14 heheh



MacCready -> (6/6/2002 5:49:44 AM)

antartic:

I allready know all this.

I'm just a diehard when it comes to post ww2 steel panthers.



antarctic -> (6/6/2002 3:12:20 PM)

Yeah... I agree. Post WW2 is really exciting... TOWs flyinh everywhere... Apaches...

Ah well. We'll just have to wait for June 14 (I think I got that right this time)
