update on pw?

After witnessing many attempts of bringing the marvelous player maker back to life fail, I decided not to make another. But how long will we have to wait? Can this thread be weekly update to dev estimated progress on PW production? Sorry if there already is one, I just don't like indefinite wait.

going to bump anyway.

Us pw fans are still waiting.

1-2 years is my best guess as well given the lack of work being done.

Only way to make it go faster is to maek patch!

I think it's a lack of dev interest problem.

As far as I know devs are working (or planning) on getting Kudos (donate money for pretty, non-balance-changing things) to work, on improving quickmatching, finding out how to change "aim spheres", fixing bugs and what not.

For a full list check out the Zero-K development issues list or take a look at the latest changes.

wasn't the problem with PW just that no one wanted to play it ?

iirc most people had no interest in even learning how to play it and as far as they were concerned it was just a host with a crappy balancing system

I definitely remember that the clan/alliance/faction balancing was the main reason everyone hated the planetwars hosts, there seemed to be 2 kinds of games, the one with massive clan stack or the ones where clan gets split up -which makes no sense in PW so they would just end up killing allies to get the planet

not sure wat everyone is talking about when say 1-2 years lol but as previous pw winner I think system is pretty cool already, just some major flaws that need fixing

Funny. The way I remember it, most everyone ragequit because of PW.

Those who didnt like PW say most hated it.
Those who liked PW say most loved it.

I liked PW so i side with second group.

Reason why its not enabled is because im very busy with other things and will be in concievable future.

It could be done but only if i had no other work on the game to do.

Alas im the main developer of website, springie, lobby, various things like juggler and some ingame stuff i done recently like the new load screen.

If you want to speed it up and dont want to work on PW directly, you can help porting ZKL to linux, improving website (fixing g+ box, linking news to fb/g+ again), fixing various bugs (game, lobby, springie, site).

Atm there are still some things that have higher priority for me:
- fixing critical bugs
- porting ZKL to linux
- fixing varikous ingame inconsistencies and making sure default settings are ok
- making proper bubblechat system and new chat callins to allow ingame muting and proper hiding of voice control commands

30 days over. Do the math: 11-23 months left!
