I dont know how many of u on this thread are younger and/or without a spouse and/or kids, but we did just get done with summer. Children....people's kids.....even programmers and game developers have kids. They had the summer off from school. You spend time with family when can. Kids just went back to school. Parents need to adjust for changing schedules. Takes time. This takes away time from projects.
Plus, i must say that the casual talk of how programming doesnt take time is way off track. Unless you've tried reviewing and proofing whole programs that have thousands amd tens of thousands and hundreds of thousands of lines of code i dont think peeps should make unqualified judgement calls on how slow the coding is and should be faster.
And i dont care if peeps took 1 or 2 classes of basic c++ or derivatives thereof in school. Everyone knows the basic concept of basic programming are easy to understand. Enacting it in practice in gigantic or smaller programs isnt as easy. Think back to how long you took doing the homework for those classes and how long it took you to realize u didnt declare a global or local variable correctly. Or that comma that went one whole space further than it should of. Oh! Lets not forget about that semicolon at the end of your code on line 43! How many hours did it take to make u wanna throw your computer out the window?
Plus, this site is a pirate site. We arent buying here. No room to complain about production speed.
@DarkCookie puts out self created stuff that you can tell has time and heart put in it (even if it is only for the money or not, doesnt matter). How many other games are drawn and not just generic backgrounds and pregenerated models from daz or HS? There are some, but not nearly as many.
