The reason(s) I moved and stickied this because this is a really well written document which is very very useful for budding modders to read. It gives some excellent insight into the pitfalls and problems which can be encountered by a mod.

Secondly I think it serves nicely as a memorial for an excellent promising project which was born from our community but sadly died.

It was a damn well good looking mod. But hey! shit happens!

Hi Funky. Never knew you were around here too.

Tragic. The mod was highly promising.

[FunkyHippo?]

Hi Funky. Never knew you were around here too.

Ah, nice to see ya. Also, it seems like more media was released? that must of been done since the mod is discontinued.

[Mess]

that media is all concepts/shots of maps of areas/characters etc that were all shelved due to being overly ambitious. We didn't want to show any 'relevant' media due to potential re-commencing of the project, in the future.

[vcool]

There is hope...

[klashnikova]

a very informative article on mod structuring. pity how peoples expectations can often misconstrue what design goals are created for.

[Sathor]

Very good article.

[Habboi]

A very interesting read. In the end it was a good lesson and I'm sure everyone learnt from it.

[Mr. Happy]

Excellent read

[Penney]

That was a damn good read, I'm glad it was written, It's points are very good points indeed!

[irt3hnubpie]

It's really well written and very true, the same thing happened to my modification as well.

[Meotwister]

A good recipe for how to do things in a mod.

glad wraiyth wrote it up.

[undertone]

yeah that was a very good read. i'm very glad that someone had the balls to put that all up. i hope a few mod teams can find something in there to learn from. such a great looking mod... so sad to see it go.
