I'm surprised no one agrees with me...I mean if you do please speak your mind.
Hey guys, I thought id comment again on this project. The last comment I made was about the changing of the potion bottle, I basically said that the idea you had at the start (reusing battle model parts to recreate the NPC's) was good and stayed true to the overall look of the mod and the game, and that putting in your own bits would upset that look.
Some people agreed, some didnt, but the comment was generally taken as a complaint, but it wasnt, it was constructive criticism.
However, the work that these guys have put into this project is something else.
It is their project. It really is up to them whether they listen or not, but the project leaders and their followers should ease up on anything critical being said about their work, critics can be useful and point out valid points (especially FFVII fans :p). So yeah changeling, I agree with you that the mod should have a uniform FFVII look to it, but we are not the ones doing the mod and its made painfully obvious that we are not the ones doing the mod, here are the replies to the bottle mod:
ice_cold:
"ppl are so little nit picker's now days and seem to forget the fact that we don't get pay for this WE DO THIS COS WE WANT TOO or the how hard it is when you got things to do"
Stormmedia:
"however.... I think it's weird when ppl start complaning about the fact that it's not like the original..... I mean.... the goal of this project is to improve the models right ?? That's for sure that we try to make the model the more "similar" to the original ones... but these days as soon as a new model is made there is at least one person to tell us that it's not enough like the original one... if you don't want to change the game at all... just don't bother to install this patch... that was my opinion... we are here to improve the game... if you want to keep the old model fair enough... but it's not what we want..."
Anyway, again this is just my 2 cents. I think the project leaders should at least not cut down people who try and put across valid points.
As always, im very happy with what you guys are doing here and this project is one of the reasons I come back here now and then, your doing good work and im looking forward to play with the finished mod. Thanks for your hard work!
@Stormmedia, Best of luck with your adventures with 3ds max, im starting to use it and its pretty darn sweet
