lately ive been busy with new work and stuff , but yer....
ive got a feeling that not much is happenin for our community and the game(s).
so to those involved , hows development going? , anything exciting going to happen? , whats the update with server holders around the world?
,who else is getting a little worried about the current state?
i know im getting a trickle of projects to do , but from the music/sound side , im seeing not much at all.
the screenshots of what ya doing forum post is going very well , and its good to see new people sign up , but i still feel much more should be happening.
anyway , i guess im feeling a little dissapointed atm , but i think a spark
(or a good kick up the ass) is needed to make us all glow inside again.

I will have two new maps out before fall.
I'm not sure but it's possible that things are slightly slower because it's summer, which means vacations for a lot of people... specifically parents or kids.
It seemed like Tzork said there will be 0.2 coming out as he said on the Development Xonotic site that "in the interest of getting 0.2 out means this need to be delayed" when talking about the lightining gun feature he was working on. However, I am not sure if this is the reason for the slight slowdown in development or if there will actually be a 0.2 coming out soon.
It would be cool if they did come out with a 0.2 release. It would be imo the best time to release especially since there has been over 7 months of development going on since the last release.
Seriously though, not one Dev has replied on this matter? Someone must have an idea, even the forum's are slowing down (thread wise) due to a lack of activity caused by this, it's quite sad to see at the moment especially with all the hard work that goes on.
P.S I have had several outsiders and people who play Xonotic asking why the front page news/media does not show upto date screenshots/videos, that's another thing that make's people think development is not happening.
Development actually is going quite fine, I just have had quite some work after vacation from this summer and haven't been working as quickly as i'd like to.
We *do* have a release date planned, but not going to announce it just yet. Anyway, keep looking out for an announcement.. it's coming soon.
Today is the first time in a long while I've typed something into a forum "reply" box or actively stepped into IRC. I could offer up myriad reasons why my activity level has decreased, but it all boils down to me having lost a great amount of interest.
Hey, I just found this thread. I don't know why I didn't find it earlier. Well, I was doing some music for a map by Maddin (Heavy Metal), I'm making a lot of noise all the time, publishing stuff here and there, I think I might one day start doing some map sketches in Blender (got an fun idea, gonna post it in other thread).
the last thing i did for xonotic was adding ons support to courtfun
<Samual> I am the most unprofessional developer ever
<bluez> halogene, you make awesome music, but you have no clue about ctf.
<Halogene> I didn't know mappers include some mysterious waypoints so members of the BOT clan can navigate a map?

sad to hear that. I hope this community will manage to excite you again, I really appreciate your contributions.
Latest track on soundcloud: Farewell - to a better Place (piano improvisation)
New to Xonotic? Check out my Newbie Corner! <ZeRoQL> i think i got 1 proper quad and that cunt halogen fuck me over with a laser
Not that it's as crucial a detail, but I'll be doing an announcer session here soon, this one will be of usable quality (unlike the demo I posted earlier). I'm including stuff for future speculation, so if it gets used it won't only cover what features are in place right now. I intend to be available and reachable for the long haul, so if additional recordings are needed I can facilitate, but everyone says that. Better to plan for the worst case.
I'll put together a character voicepack as well. I'll give the player sounds a shot, but I don't think I can hang with the precedent. No harm in giving it a shot.
I've got several tracks in the works, still getting into Xonotic's musical groove. That stuff should be posted soon.
