CS2D General Closure of SHOWTIME2D
Closure of SHOWTIME2D
23 replies2D games without big updates will die easily.
DC I and everyone else beg you to do something about it, from around 500 servers to around 100 servers, that's something.
but, here's a nice image to describe how dead the game really is: 
The only filters I had are 'is reachable 1' and 'has bots All with at least 1 human'
So the server list wont even get past a page! HOW NICE! GOOD JOB DC! WELL PLAYED.
Mami Tomoe: , you`re absolutely right. I`m not only user here, who thinks he should give actual source code to somebody else. Strakkz, for example. ead: I'm sorry to hear that! Good luck for the future.@
StirlizZ-Fapicon / @ Mami Tomoe: I gave you a free game, supported it for 10+ years and I'm actually still supporting it with updates. Yes, there are less updates but I'm still updating it after 10+ years which is simply outstanding. Nearly no triple A commercial game is updated for such a long period.I'm very grateful that you played and pushed my game but I don't think it's fair to complain in such a rude way after all I did.

Yates: I tried to get some money out of it but did not.@
Mami Tomoe: Well I tried everything but it did not, I am sorry to give up the game but now can not go back behind..@
DC: Unfortunately, this disaster happened but in my opinion I do not know if the game will grow only so sorry. I hope to return one day here in the forum of USGN or whatever and see that the game is in its glory of epoch say so. More thanks and Good Luck. DC: , but there is one thing: things that you already done costs nothing. DC has writtencomplain in such a rude way after all I did.
We love all what you did AND THAT'S why we care! We want the game to be as best as possible! But come on, its not mission impossible to add add few more effects / items / etc...?
We are not ungrateful, we are very grateful! We just want to help even though we can't.
This game is one of the first games I ever played and I loved it, but time goes on and all the pros leave to play other games which leaves the game with new peoples that cant understand how the game works so they just stop playing it themselves, I'm not saying there aren't any pros, I'm saying most of them left.
DC you probably understood us wrong by what we mean, we tried to explain you the game is dying (even though peoples like to ignore it), and we want more features.
Now you can all say USE LUA ITS AWESOME AND CAN DO ANYTHING!!! But lua =/= game. Lua is just like modding the game while actual update is much better and easier to use!
DC has something up his sleeves

Mami Tomoe: The problem is, nowadays DC doesn't have so much free-time like in the past to invest on CS2D. Of course, he may release some updates for this game, although we can't expect so much from him. Unfortunately. CS2D is at a point where if you'd want to implement modern features, you'd have to re-write the code. That's what I believe. Which means even if he released the source, it'd probably be so messy and outdated (no offense DC, but AFAIK that's most likely how every indie dev's codes are unless they're neat freaks(codewise) ;0) that no other developer would want to work on it. Solution? Re-write it with better libraries. And not every developer would want to stay at one place without advancing, that ofcourse includes DC.
You guys should look forward to his future projects. Who knows, he'll probably make something even better than CS2D.
er - sorry for off topic. Good luck with your community. CS2d isn't the only game around.
Nekomata, that summarizes it pretty well. This is exactly why I do not want to invest tons of time (which I don't have anyway) for new features. The core of the game is just too outdated. New features would just be a drop in the bucket in best case.The source isn't too bad overall - keep in mind that I actually rewrote CS2D already - but of course there are still some very ugly things in it. And yes, it's still very far away from being perfect
Anyway, I'm sorry
ead. This thread is about the closure of SHOWTIME2D and we shouldn't discuss CS2D's future here. So back to topic please. DC: Why you do not want to create team with active users to create with them copy of CS2D on Unity engine or Unreal engine? This will facilitate and accelerate development of your projects and release some of your free time.
Pagyra: Because, as already stated, he doesn't want to. Which is pretty understandable. Pagyra: I prefer working alone in my spare time because it's more relaxed and I'm busy with other projects. If you're interested in making a new CS2D with a modern engine: Feel free to do it. I certainly won't stop you!
Anyway: This stuff is still off-topic! Only on topic posts please. Otherwise I'll remove them.
It's not fair to discuss this stuff in
ead's thread. Thanks for understanding. 
DC: Excuse anything that was disrespectful to the forum. I tried to explain the reason for ending the SHOWTIME2D.@
mrc: Thank you
Why not give more chance for CS2D? We had a meeting with staff and decided to return to the game only as a clan. edited 1×, last 10.10.15 06:34:07 pm
