Rise of Kobol Mod Update

[Spawndemon]

After a very long break from the modding scene, the team behind the <a href="http://www.bsgmod.com/" target="_blank">Rise of Kobol</a> mod have a new update today. They have some new images to show with their progress news. Here's what they had to say:<blockquote>It’s been to long, but we are back with a quick update to say “Hi.” Compared to what we have in store for the next update (which will be much sooner than you think) you haven’t seen nothing yet! Stay closely updated to our sight, hell, make it your home page ;-).<p>And as always we are looking for talent in all areas of modding, we expect those of you green on occasion, but prefer experienced modders, especially in the BF franchise.</blockquote><center><a href="http://www.totalbf2.com/images.php?img=news/images/rokupdate22406_1.jpg"><img src="/news/images/thumb_rokupdate22406_1.jpg"></a> <a href="http://www.totalbf2.com/images.php?img=news/images/rokupdate22406_2.jpg"><img src="/news/images/thumb_rokupdate22406_2.jpg"></a><br><a href="http://www.totalbf2.com/images.php?img=news/images/rokupdate22406_3.jpg"><img src="/news/images/thumb_rokupdate22406_3.jpg"></a> <a href="http://www.totalbf2.com/images.php?img=news/images/rokupdate22406_4.jpg"><img src="/news/images/thumb_rokupdate22406_4.jpg"></a></center><br>Nice to see this mod is still alive.

Re: Rise of Kobol Mod Update

Could kick ass but considering how long we've been waiting for mods that are waaaaaaaaay already into development, it's hard for a new mod to start out. I've been checking out mods for older games and nothing really seemed as interesting as what's being developed for BF2, but my fear is that while they're moving along wonderfully, they're still years in the making...

Thing is, you shouldn't have to wait years for mods. Too many mod teams today act like they are trying to compete in an open market, and try release a complete feature package on their first version. It's hard to keep a community interested when you only release every 6-12 months.

Anyway, I'm getting off topic. I've always admired ROC model work, and it's nice to see some life.

Re: Rise of Kobol Mod Update

Thanks for the feed back and supportive post guys. Most of the reason for our limited updates is due to lack of a texture artist and a large team. It's scary to join an untested genre of multi player gaming causing skilled people to invest in more familiar and safer projects than ones like RoK.

Also, a lot of our work has been in working on the space physics and getting those working as good as possible. We want the fighters to fly as the do in the show. That work has been done a lot on existing BF2 jets and doesn't produce much in the way of news.

Also, I agree with said comment about mods should release as the build up to their final product and RoK will do that. I can say we are working on just that and have a Alpha release in the works.

Thanks again for the support.

Very, very true.

BSG is my favorite TV show atm, I hope these guys eventually release this mod', it looks really nice. Keep up the hard work

Edit: Just read above comment, great news
