Even At Destiny's Ending looks more promising

(Random advertising of own project)

Ruins of Solnaeya is also looking gr8.

Let me correct you

#nevergoingtobereleasedhalogamebesthalo

I know its fun to rag on the newbies and vaporware posts like this, but here's an honest question for OP:


Why did you decide to post with little to nothing to show for it? It looks like stock sandbox for any modern engine, I'm not even entirely convinced there's any content here at all. I'm the last to point fingers at utilizing and customizing existing content to fit a purpose, but you haven't even done that, let alone any custom designs or assets that I can discern here.

Keep in mind also that discussing reaching a goal with others actually releases a rush of satisfaction that is similar to completing the goal itself, without actually requiring any work. This is often the death of projects, since you get the completion satisfaction with no work, and therefore rob yourself of the best part of creating something. The most successful projects/releases here (successful here meaning seen through to completion) generally aren't unveiled until a MAJORITY of the work is already finished on it. Take a look at SPV3, Rev, Bigass, Lumoria, etc. They usually start with a first post about a "plan", but always have ready-made assets that are good to go and demonstrate that this is, in fact, a real project, and that it is already in some advanced stage of development (regardless of how good/bad people think that it is).

Hell, even Halonimator usually makes crapposts about something that he's done, regardless of quality or lack thereof. He doesn't post "New MAP bruh" unless there's already at least a BSP to show.

I would recommend either editing the OP and removing the single screenshot you have until such a time as there is something to show, or just stopping discussion of this altogether until that same time.

People will be much more receptive of real, usable, actually-created content that is god-awful than they will of only an idea/projection of the best content, especially when the end-game goal (such as in this case) is likely YEARS of backbreaking work away for a single developer (let alone a team).

With these goals in mind, using no custom made content, with everything fitting in a cookie cutter mold right off the bat, it would take you the better part of a decade to reach the quality of a game that released in 2005 all by yourself.

NeX is right you know

Even I had something to show when I posted something about my project for the first time, I had actually 3 close to final firefight maps.

I never showed gameplay though, because there was much to change, but I made video's about content updates over time, and, there was actually a pretty neat amount of interest.

Maybe you should wait a half year, and then post something again, but not stuff what is most definitely going to change

Dude, you really aren't good at finding threads. That thread has been dead for over a year. The latest thread should be on the second or third page. Plus that thread was when I was 16 .

So wait what is this supposed to be? There is no pictures or drawings or anything.

I really do hope that you're just joking.

Are you.. serious?
a)That's old, dude
b)It is better than yours. It actually had gameplay even back then
c)Right now, I01 is kicking %1!.

This is the Glassed guy speaking to you, as I like to proclaim myself.
You're new to game development and welcome if you're serious, but that's gonna take a lot of work and effort that I don't think you can pull off.
You should work on your game, and when you have stuff to show, then show it.
Don't download a "WaterPlanes" asset, post a picture of it and call it a new game.

Work on it, when you're happy with it, show it.
Until then.

DUDE NICE, this game is gonna be the best ever!

I made a helmet asset you can use:

4K textures 10/10

Nice LP quote there

However in all seriousness, Burney's pretty much got the situation down pat

Needed an extra fix.

Halo 6 biped customization cunfurmed.

You know, the decision of making your own fan-made halo game was pretty much creating a doomed project from the beginning

Halo is a great game, but also a massive one, and the only way to make something close to a real halo game, is making a massive game, or a really creative one, which are both really hard

Really, the only fan-made halo games (worth mentioning) with releases are halo: owaw and halo zero, and those were both pretty small games compared to real halo games

So before making a fan-made halo game, make sure that you got enough experience to make it, without it, your code will be a mess and after a while adding more resources will become nearly impossible, this happened to halo owaw (as far as i know) and therefore the project got cancelled (one of the saddest moments in the halo community)
Also, you need to make sure that you want to put a really long time in it to make the game, believe me, it will take you at least years if you want to create a fps, maybe a top-down shooter or a platformer will suffy until you're experienced enough to make a fps





And just one more thing, please, don't do like you are better then Alex (I'm talking to: thechunkierbean, (SSB)Burney and R93_snipers), only because you put some more time in your project doesn't make you better then other halo community members, here is why:

TheChunkierBean: I'm looking at your YouTube account and the forum thread about I01, and I didn't see any update for months, also, you don't really talk about what you guys are doing with the project, it becomes more like a show-off so you can feel better then other community members instead of being a real project anymore.

(SSB)burney: Your project is one of the better ones, every once and a while you actually post a picture or a small video, just so we know that the project is dead, but when I'm browsing through your YouTube channel, your last project you really seemed to adore was the emerald dream mod for WoW, I must say, it looked really great, but really, nobody cared about it, it looks like that your attention is going away from glassed and it is slowly sinking into a pool of forgotten projects

R93_snipers: I must say, contingency looks really promising, but what have you done? Promises of a soon-to-come update were made in march (It's now more then 6 months later, I think that we both agree that that isn't soon), your once so supportive forum members are slowly becoming trolls (just like the admins as far as I can see) and really no information at all is given about the progress of the game, you can litterally just stop working on it for 3 months and nobody would ever find out or care about it

All of you guys should really get your stuff together and start thinking if you can finish your projects, and stop working on other ones where nobody cares about if you really want to finish your project, otherwise you'll lose the hype of the crowd and with that probably your motivation aswell (I should actually do the same now I'm thinking of it, but ADE didn't ever become really popular, so I don't have that much to worry about it)

I'm sorry for my horrible grammar and the long hateful post, I just had to tell everybody what I'm thinking for months already so I don't have to crop it up somewhere in the back of my mind

Why do I feel like you never actually think before you post dude? I sincerely apologize to any of the halomaps members who have had their brain cells die to lolslayer.



If you made a post and then immediately apologized, then why post at all? Let your thoughts get "cropped up somewhere in the back of your mind", because quite frankly nobody cares at all what some random person on this forum thinks. The few people whose words really have any sway are those who have proved themselves. Learn what forum etiquette is, as well, because its very abundantly clear you don't.

Before you even consider what you want to create this in, you need to decide what you want to create first. Do you want to tell a story? Do you want to create a project where you fight AI? Do you want to create a project where people fight each other? Once you figure that out, you need to start writing your ideas down and expand on them. Get it to where you can play this creation in words, writing it in a way where the words can make a visual depiction for you to go off of. Gather some concept art while you're at it. Once you have these things in mind, then start working on it. Judging your join date, it looks like you're going to have to learn some things to make it successful.

They are making good progress, but decided to stay in the dark for a while because they don't wanna show off something broken again. CE3 was a learning experience for them.

We've learned so much from CE3 2014. It's still funny how we managed to get a build of it. Also, just because we don't update every month doesn't mean we aren't hard at work. That crap needs to end. I don't get why people don't understand this. Installation 01 will be ready to show at CE3 2016, you can count on it.

It's hilarious that people would expect a monthly progress update from a fan game, when Professionals don't give month to month update revealing every little bit of information of their game.
D o u b l e S t a n d a r d s B o i s

It took me one hour to write this post, please read the whole post carefully or I'll be stuck with people accusing me for something I've already explained/apoligized in the post or even for something I've never done

Don't reply if you didn't read the whole post



I know that my post was filled with rant, and I apoligize again for this, but I'm not sorry for my post at all, my posts are controversial, but it attacks parts of community's where talking about it is necessary, with my posts, people should start thinking, not hating, maybe most of what I posted is plain dumb, but as long as people start to think about the subject I ranted about, the goal of this post is reached

So please stop trying to humiliate me, and start having a normal discussion for once, really, you Always like to insult me when I post something instead of posting the intelligent parts only



THIS is excactly as I wanted it to be, you don't have to post stuff all the time, I'm ok with it if you tell everybody that there will be a update every year but no more then this, and if you can keep your promise, everyting will be perfect

that is way better then actually posting it at random moments and after that being silent about it, because it will make it very unclear then if there is any progress

One little promise for the next update date is enough to keep me (and probably many other fans) happy

That's not really how apologizing works.

As long as it is Blam engine (#bestenjin) based then yeah.

I'm sorry for my rant, not for my post

So to make it a little bit more clear, I'm not sorry for WHAT I've posted, but for HOW I've posted

Did i missed another fight?

how thats even possible

Depends on it, for R93 it was a fight, for me it was a discussion



How can this be hard to understand? I'm sorry for it that I wasn't a little bit more nice when talking about the subjects, instead of filling it with rant

is it clear now? -.-

Do yourself a favor, cut the passive-aggressive bull and get off that pseudo moral high ground you think you stand on.

This is not how the neutral observer observed the observations.

I'll do that if you promis me to quit the active-aggressiveness you Always have against me ;)

also, that moral high ground is also reliable on you...
