Do the developers really exist ?

Erik - thanks for the reply, looking forward to the first update.

[Magpius]

okay so there's an update in the wings...
Does this person have a name who may like to contribute to the forum?
or is this
[blockquote]a)- designed by committee
b)- worked on by matrix staff hacks
c)- code farmed out to India or Pakistan
d)- a room full of monkeys, not typing Shakespeare.
e)- the work experience kid that accidently posted this game, went back to school.

CCME this one
CCDF Combat Command Danger Forward(?)

[sabre1]

We are such a demanding bunch. [:D]

[junk2drive]

b)- worked on by matrix staff hacks

I think I am one of those but not for this game.

Is that good or bad J2D? And nice distancing move [;)]

CCDF Combat Command Danger Forward(?)

Oh! so that's what I'm playing.

Just wondering if anyone here played Danger Forward - I'm taking it as given that Obsolete did and Junk2Drive(?) but did anybody else? Or do we tend to be Combat Command virgins? I am [8D]

Cheers

I thought CCDF was incorporated into CCME.

[Max 86]

I never played any of the previous versions. I popped my cherry in Heraklion...I think there is a song in that![:D]

[sabre1]

I'm a CCME virgin. [:D]

Further quick thought on Erik's reply that "CCME is a supported release"

I assume that all Matrix games that are not discontinued are supported releases, however there seems to be a big difference between being a "supported release" (e.g. Star Sentinel Tactics) and an "actively supported release" (e.g. Gary Grigsby's War in The East).

Unfortunately it looks like CCME is going to be a "supported release".

As sabre1 has said in another thread if the developer would at least drop by and say hello we all might have a lot more confidence in the ongoing support level the game is going to get.

Again I don't regret buying the game but as things stand I would be hesitant to recommend it to friends against a number of other equally good games.

[sabre1]

Someone needs to post the tumbleweed in this thread. Just rolling on through guys, nothing to see, just rolling on through...


Usually, new games get lots of developer support, and then...things start to fade out.

I'm sorry we've been quiet. The developer does exist and we are working on finishing the first update. I hope to have more news for you all soon, but CCME is a supported release.

Hi Erik

When you say 'soon' any ideas when? Another week has gone by and nothing [:(]

Cheers

We're all familiar with vaporware. Could this be one of the first known cases of vapor developer?

[Rosseau]

I don't think one poster, including myself, has been anything less than positive about the game itself. Hopefully, they will stir things up with a patch and/or a few new scenarios, anything to raise the interest level and sell more copies.

[PirateJock]

Now I'm not being a stalker or anything like that but ... the developer hasn't even logged onto the Matrix forums since the beginning of May!

Is he even aware of our questions? More worringly, if he is it really wouldn't take too much to just put out a reassuring one-liner. It does appear to show a certain degree of arrogance and/or apathy for the title. Besides it would do a lot to stop the developer jokes ... never a good sign.

From a marketing point of view, if I was thinking of buying the game I'd be having second thoughts before taking the plunge.

Cheers

[Magpius]

perhaps we need to scale up the nastiness, until it gets so bad that they have to lock the thread or give us a warning.
At least then we would know that they are reading the posts.

[PirateJock]

I don't really do nastiness ... I may be a pirate but I'm a Libran pirate who takes a balanced view of life [;)]

Besides the sun is shining here in the UK so not really a day to be unpleasant [:)]

Cheers

[Chackal]

Even the Isle of Man is sunny, a day to remember [:D]

I like this game but tbh I regret buying it, this is ridiculous...
