3.0 to be last update?

Phil Roberts · Sat 03/01/2004 21:35:52

What do you guys think? I mean, if people draw away from this program, then should 3.0 be the last Version update...with all known bug fixes & enhanced graphical features (new features for peopel to use, like Scene & Character creator)....well, what do you guys think? I am voicing an opinion!

Archangel (aka SoupDragon) · Sat 03/01/2004 21:40:28

Why on earth would you want to set a version cap? And is this even in the right forum?

AGA · Sat 03/01/2004 21:42:46

Of course you're entitled to your opinion, but I doubt very much that CJ would ever set a version cap and then stick to it. If and when he decides to quit AGS, I'm guessing it'll be the day he gets sick of it, not on some set date and version...

Inkoddi · Sat 03/01/2004 21:48:50

...because AGS will never be completed! There are always bugs to fix and features to add and with new features comes bugs (not always)....

Why would people draw away from such a good thing?

I tell you: CJ is teh bestest!!

Hollister Man · Sat 03/01/2004 23:01:55

I dearly hope that Chris has a plan for if something happens to him. :o I wonder if anyone could even understand his code? We could have a lot of AGSers jumping off bridges if he disappeared.

Just kidding...sort of.

MrColossal · Sun 04/01/2004 06:21:00

i'm confused why you think people will "draw away" from ags.

because they should be using SCI Studio? hehe joke joke

do you for some reason see the AGSers fleeing the community like rats on a sinking ship in the near future?

Timosity · Sun 04/01/2004 06:35:23

Hehe, this is silly, everyones replies are legit,

Also there is really no competition between engines, people are free to use as many or as few as they like. And many use SCI & AGS

Phil Roberts, I'd suggest you get to know the community around here before you start making silly statements, then you would understand that it's a pretty tight knit group, and you'd probably become friends with people here.

There's pleanty of room for both engines and I'm sure both will gain more members over time than losing members, I can't see what your point is or what you are trying to achieve.

It seems like your saying "hint, hint, I think you should stop making this engine soon cause no one will use it cause another exists" it just seems a very odd statement with very little research behind it.

Goldmund · Sun 04/01/2004 09:28:34

This thread be an omen.

Winds of change consume the land!

Better start packing AGSers will.

Even if the world ends tomorrow, and the sky comes tumbling down on our heads I can't imagine anyone "drawing away" from AGS. And an issue like the end of the world is pretty serious, mind you. :o

m0ds · Sun 04/01/2004 10:47:53

One day AGS will be so powerful, CJ will lose control and will turn in a pulp. Yahtzee will have won!

Mr Jake · Sun 04/01/2004 10:53:17

and we will all become killer Cyber zoombies?!
THEN we can meet up with the SCI kru and rumble!

Ishmael · Sun 04/01/2004 12:01:09

Or AGS will take over teh worlds computer systems and turn the world into a huge multiplayer adventure... *shivers*

Ginny · Sun 04/01/2004 13:27:06

I think there should be at least enough versions until the yeasr 5788, or til version 957320954.5682205

There's no limit to how much AGS can grow, new suggestions appear every day, and people have no reason to 'draw away' from AGS. Of course you have the right to your opinion, but I see no grounds for it.
As for if something happens to Chris, well.. I think we need to lock CJ in a protected room which noone can penetrate, fireproof, floodproof, hackerproof, lavaproof and atom-bombproof. Then put guards around it day nad night, and thus CJ will always be safe and sound

j/k

World takeover.. mmm, sounds fun. I'm sure we'll enjoy living in the mutliplayer AGS game if it well designed

Btw, if AGS does ever run out of things to update (quite impossible, but lets suppose) - it can always become a complete game making kit with article links, etc

hey that could be a good suggestion.. Nah.

P.S. Drive safely Chris!

Alexis Vale · Sun 04/01/2004 14:45:26

I can predict some world where posters hang up everywhere reading "Chris Jones is Watching You". AGS would be...extremely great. The thought police would come and get all those thinking of leaving/rebelling/destroying the AGS system/community. Yeah...(hopefully this reader has read 1984 by George Orwell).

Trapezoid · Sun 04/01/2004 16:29:55

All he needs to do is teach AGS how to write its own code and we're all screwed.

Barcik · Sun 04/01/2004 17:10:38

CJ should take an apprentice and teach him the art of crafting AGS. (*in-joke alert #2* Guess who has been playing KOTOR lately).

Duck · Mon 05/01/2004 00:06:28

I hope you aren't all serious about world domination. It's obviously the destiny of we UNIBROW(tm)-bearers.

InCreator · Mon 05/01/2004 02:02:29

I'm sure CJ has a lot of not-yet-implemented-suggestions in his pocket for the day when he becomes out of ideas. And I'm damn sure about that.

But yea, bridge jumping sounds reasonable. And this is where we'll be finally tested. Only the pure souls will have belief. Only loyal ones perform the jump. Who's with me?

Hail AGS!
*splash!*

glub-- gwuys, i gwot cwarried awway, uh?

Duck · Mon 05/01/2004 02:13:55

Don't worry, InCreator, it wasn't your fault. The UNIBROW(tm) did it.

Gilbert · Mon 05/01/2004 05:23:38

No, I don't think the AGS engine will ever get past V3.0.

Because it'll probably be renamed to some other things (again) by that time! hehe.

3.0 to be last update?
