The cover art and CD design are amazing. I'd just need a back panel with room for a tracklist (currently not 100% set on it), and an alternate booklet design. For the booklet design I was thinking have page 1 be a little text on the Warsow alpha release as well as a screenshot, page 2 be .21, page 3 be .5, page 4 be 1.0, with a little with a blank page for signatures (white background, obviously).

If you dont want that this falls asleep, just give us some screenshots for the timeline and the text you would like to have. Maybe kreativity, ideas and designs will come back (o;

Woo, the post is getting a fair amount of attention!

I'd wager about 5,000-7,000 people have seen that post by now.

it needs your attention and pluses

Tbh why plusing such a usual warsowbashing esl topic adem? :x
Every wsw thread there grows out like this, asking myself what the ts thought when he started it.

edit:
ouz its not even that bashing :x

Pikku, any attention bad or good is still attention. About pluses - i don't mean to plus topic starter, but someone who has sad anything positive about our game!)

I plus anything Warsow actually, just for the shits

Plusing is rly what one can do only maybe.
Personally esr is done forme, megaman and his crew saying the same shiz everytime anyway.
If half of the ppl who complain about the "too small wsw comm" would play from time to time, warsow would be rather more active.
fuck esr :/

I invite you to think about the main difference between spending time/energy to share and promote your passion and spending time/energy to bully at alternatives of your passion.

Where's the weak attitude ? Where's the strong attitude ? Bullying alternatives will never make your passion more appealing. Seing alternatives as threats simply tells you're not confident enough in your passion. In other words, you think that the object of your passion is in danger. Here we have kind of funny paradox. Why a dead game should deserve any attention any more ?

Please note that this basic truth rules also the differents alternatives of game modes in Warsow.

Anyway, Warsow deserves all those critics on esr. The game already had its chance once there. And critics always can be interesting and helpufull (at least, critics can tell a lot about their authors :p).

This is why I've to thank you once again for your help in promoting Warsow. There is so many places all over the internet where to reach new audience of gamers. Then, Respect and Sportsmanship will help to build a new community.

Critics are ok if they actually have some valid points and try to form a healthy discussion. People like megaman3 just don't do any of those things, all they do is assault a perfectly fine game just because they never got their (not working) ideas implemented into it by the devs, now they try to bash the game in any possible way they can, that's not criticism that's plain buthurtness.

Wow, that's totally true. To be honest it's not hard to grasp, but still sounds like something one would learn in a philosophy lecture. I can't agree anymore so I'll just end this post with...

+1

Still pretty blown away by this game, and I have only been playing for about a week or so... dunno why it hasn't absolutely exploded in popularity to be honest.

I think Steam Greenlight, if this gets "lit," will help it tremendously though. Maybe even more popular than QL?

Here is funny paradox for you;how game can be dead if it still has players and therefore its being played actively?

I probably didn't phrase it correctly. This wasn't related to my point of view.
But the end of your sentence isn't logical. There's a big difference between being played (having players), and being played actively :p

Crizis just shot the idea completely down in another thread sadly. I wish there was a way to come to some sort of agreement with Steam where they would allow us to apply for Greenlight.

What? Noooo! D:

Oh well. Word of mouth will work, I guess. ;)

This is what you write here:

And this is what you write on ESR:

I was nuts about Warsow for about a week, but it is starting to feel... bleh. I dunno. Something about it doesn't appeal to me the way Quake Live does.

get your mind right, kiss-ass

It is true that I was (still am?) a little in a state of limbo, and I apologize for sounding two-faced. I always have trouble deciding on whether I truly like a game or not, and it is definitely true that I post too rapidly on forums, oftentimes before thinking through what I am posting clearly, and what it would mean in the future. I hope that this does not jeopardize the ability to take my posts more seriously in the future. My apologies!

*EDIT* And you're right. In hindsight, a lot of my posts on forums in general over the years would lead many to presume that I am a kiss-ass. I always try my best to avoid arguments and say what people want to hear, but it seems that backfired considerably. It is a bad way to speak my mind and say what I really think.

Would you like to know what I really think?

I think that Warsow is a wonderful game, and is one of the best games in the arena FPS genre. Opinions of me from Quake diehards be damned, I really enjoy playing this game. The graphics are, in my opinion, fairly unique, and I love the movement physics. It honestly saddens me when I tell people about this game and they throw shit in my face and say it's bad that I like this -- that makes me uncomfortable and insecure. Then again, if I really love this game, why should I care what others think? I should play what I have fun with. And I have fun with Warsow.

I know you may be thinking "great, kissing ass again, being all pro-Warsow on the Warsow forums." Well, I just posted what I honestly think. Gonna have to trust me on that one, even though trusting me might be difficult after what happened. :<

I care too much about what others think, and should think for myself more -- not just on forums, life in general. I probably over-responded to your post considerably, but I wanted to get this off of my chest.

Cheers.
