Hello guys,
i just registered (yes, finally i found the party
) and first of all i would like to compliment you guys on your amazing work for uplink. I know this game from back then in its early versions and recently after a long period of not beeing interested in hacking-games (because there where almost only generic browser games and other failures plus iam looking for multiplayer-games mostly) i found the game on a very old HDD again, started playing it and began looking for updates/mods and so on. I fiddled arround alot with all those single mods and patches and finally found onlink, its simply amazing what you pulled out of this oldshool game and it basically made me play the game again now, thank you for that one.
And when i play a single-player game actively that means something, i grew up on quake & ut and always was a multiplayer-gamer, in the past 4-5 years not one single-player game could give me what i wanted so i end up playing buggy, laggy and unfinished mmo's and these kind of games, recently i came to the point where i say i wont play any mmo's anymore again probably, they should go to hell and melk other cows, not me anymore! ... The real shooter scene is also almost dead, only very few older games are played by a couple of 100 people, iam not talking about CoD/BF/CS!
Back to topic i will try to help as much as i can on reporting any bugs i find and would also love to give suggestions about features/upcomming projects i read about here
BUT ... honestly guys your forum is a bit of a mess, after reading through almost everything here now i know the structures on projects you are working on and which are kinda layed on ice and so on but it was terrible to find out as a new member or an outsider. There are so much names of projects thrown arround, the mainsite for the onlink stuff is down (not that this is a problem) but as i said, so much names thrown arround and honestly i still dont know for example whats the actual progress or on what you are working atm. Kite/Cerberus ?! ... Onlink 0.2.x/Onlink 0.3.x ?! ... Here is where my first suggestion kicks in, while i know games/projects like that wont attract hundrets of new people anyway i would still like to see some more structure in the forums, either something like a projectoverview, where one could clearly see the projects and their status or at least kinda one thread for every mainproject (Onlink/Kite) where you collect these infos but there are multiple threads/news/announces about different versions of basically the same project and even different names comming up, as i said i found it very hard to understand what is actually going on atm.
Just my opinion as outsider.
Greetings
