“Delaysers”

   Posted by: Con in News, Rant

Seems that  I’ve run into a series of “delays” over the course of this month.

Between two total reinstalls of Vista and now my video card up and dying on me, even though it’s only 2.5 years old, I’ve been trying to finish a game.

It’s been somewhat frustrating not being able to finally nail Juggerdome. It has given me the chance to get further into planning the next Last Stand. I can safely say that it’ll be the biggest project I’ve ever worked on and I’m busting to get started.

Here’s to hoping the next week or so goes smoothly once my new graphics card arrives.

See, this is how last stand started. Everyone goes crazy because there impatient. jk. Anyway, I hope you don’t release anything, I want it to be a surprise. Of course I’ll probably just stay off this site for a bit to delay the inevitable. 01010100 01101000 01100101 01001101 01100001 01110100 01110010 01101001 01111000, or something like that. P.S. really sorry about your videocard.

Will you be making any more Warfare Games?

Yep. But they won’t be chronological and they probably won’t have firearms in them. It’ll also be a few games from now, I’ve got at least two other titles I want to build before then.

My friend’s 2 month old laptop crashed. It had windows vista, now its been totally unusable for 2 weeks. It had a fatal error.

On the bright side you and him can look forward to a free copy of windows 7, that is hoping it isn’t as buggy or annoying as vista. I’m running XP so I’m happy. :D

There are my doubts, but that is entirely up to Con to decide. Until then feel free to post opinion. If what I’ve seen from certain players of ConArtist Games is that they somewhat do not like sequels. Look at Warfare 1944, that single game attracted trolls and apparently confused people with it’s new and entirely genius resource system that made the game a challenge. Mostly the challenge came from people who were so used to just spamming away troops that they didn’t know how to deal with this new system that suddenly limits their ability to do things. Overall the game remained simple enough for us educated folk to get the hang of easily while blundering the stupid people (and confusing the crowd that prefers mind calming monotony over actual tactics). Either way I am looking forward to Juggerdome, whatever the hell it may be.

Oh, and…

No offence Con. But we would appreciate it if you would actually post a little on the forums and keep us updated. And update us with a post on the forum every week or so. Every time you do not reply for a month and don’t visit the forums for a month, we think you are dead or have given up. So please, update us on the forums every week or so.

Making games is my full time job, I’m not going anywhere. Answering to the whims of impatient and over imaginative fans is not. I’m constantly posting responses to comments and updating my twitter account, I’d rather be spending my time actually building games than doing that.

impressive, joel you know something about binary code (though that code doesn’t mean anything) all codes must start with zero! and binary codes always need to start with zero!
good work, few people know that.

Here’s to finishing Dome, Con.

When will you be able to start back up on the game?

Hopefully today. Still waiting on the card arriving.

Hmm, I wonder if juggerdome will like your other games? Like the last stand or warfare. You know, killing stuff ;)

I wonder if Juggerdome will be related to the Australian sport in any way….

Anyway, good luck fixing your card, even though I know that you probably are going to have no trouble whatsoever fixing it.

Thanks and yeah, it’ll be a matter of old out, new in and go.

A quick question, Con, do you ever read the General Banter forum (not saying I think you should just asking)

Occasionally. Every time I do I consider finding some way to shoot it into the sun. I despise forum games…

Whoa. I was just playing Counter Strike Condition Zero, when I noticed something… almost all the weapons in The Last Stand games are shown in CS. Everything from the rocket laucher to the pump action shotgun to the basic hand gun. Cool. (I thought I just put that out there.)

Kinda, they’re all just fairly common military and law enforcement weapons. I tried to only include stuff that would be somewhat available in a real world situation.

Maybe you could name it the Spam Banter since it basically turned into that.

Yeah they are. The bald guy that you see in both pictures is Dr. Evil. The movie is a little demented. There are three movies in total. Oh from that post I put on earlier about CS, I was going to ask you if you had any interest in puting a new weapon in the Last Stand series.(Maybe a auto shotgun.) :)

Listen guys, or gals. You should really stop suggesting stuff such as 1. Will there be 4 player multiplayer Huh HUH!? 2. Don’t suggest MODERATORS! If you follow these rules it’ll give con some time to brainstorm on LS. Instead of having to reply to EVERY single comment/PM! Give the guy A break!

Sorry to hear about issues slowing down your work. I myself can’t wait for LS3, I’ll probably dance around like a twit when it’s released, lol. Your work is probably the only work in this level of gaming that I’ve been able to stay interested in, and play for more then a day, and I hope to see much more as time goes on. Good luck on your future projects.

hey con, a quick recomendation, you should bring back the barret from the last stand 1 i know you have porobably already made up your mind on this one but i really missed that weapon in the last stand 2.

Thanks guy. I’m not sure how useful a 6 ft sniper rifle will be when a zombie is right on top of you though…

Can’t wait for the Last Stand 3,I can’t really say much for the Juggerdome since I have no clue what so ever on what it is about. Juggerdome should be good, considering all the games you made so far are pretty awesome.

Thanks. Juggerdome will be like the popcorn of my games. Quick, fun to eat.

Con will any snipers be included in juggerdome? Any high caliber weapons?

Also the barret helped a lot in the last stand one cause you had your chainsaw for the close range ones and your barret could take out a zombie in one hit just like the sniper in the last stand 2. though i imagine if you included it in the last stand 3 it would go straight through a couple zombies and give some massive damage.

The last stand 3 i would presume it would have something so we can switch weapons in battle between the player and the helper characters, so you can kinda have an extra weapons lot to switch to a close range wep in battle.

No snipers in Juggerdome, but there is a LASER!

i do have a sujestion,it would take a extra 4 weeks or so, but you should add a “sandbox” mode to let people play without a time limit

DO NOT DELETE THIS!!!!!

Ok so what I can understand so far is juggerdome is a fighting-ish game? Pretty quick game once you understand how to play
Its not a warfare type game since there are lasers in it
A near future combat based game?
Well I don’t know , Since combat is referred to warfare.

Am I any where close at all?
