Me and Nate have started considering KF mapping, just so you know. There's been talks, but no concrete conclusion is to be taken yet. My take is, if everything runs smooth and KF leveling presents itself to be similar to AA's, then it would be right to assume we're getting back. That means Dennis and Delta, too. (What's the whereabouts of Dan? I haven't seen him around!).

Nate posted some questions on KF's forums: http://forums.tripwireinteractive.com/showthread.php?t=44644

I've replied with my own questions, too. You'll have to register if you want to read the content. Yeah, a bummer!

On other matters, amidst discussion, we (I'm assuming it's safe to say "we" at this point. Nate will most likely correct me, if otherwise) both agreed that whatever we do, won't be a continuation of mAAp. The game is different, the purpose is different and the circumstances are all different. With that said, I --fancy as I am-- came up with a possible name. Red Hands was my suggestion. Why? It's visually strong, and it emotes change, life, radicalism, revolutionism, agression, action, complex, personal, out of the ordinary, and so on. Anything that connects the conception of the colour red and its meanings, with the imagetic representation of what a hand may stand for.


Feel free to comment.

It is that understanding that should have set you onto E3 or what-have-you. As it is Dennis's understanding that he undeniably entertained by Game Engeniers and Coding that should have set him up. Same logic applies to all saints. We all have the drive to do something. All in different areas and with different paces, surely --but all, alike, interested. If we didn't, you (Nate) wouldn't keep perfecting Pipeline, or Dennis's mind wouldn't keep brainstorming different approaches and possibilities that could be worked out within the GE (Game Engine), and so forth.

I know there goes a long from "Hey, I like to do this every now and then!" to "Whoo-hoo, we're involved in a project with an actual mindset, some objectives and better even, we'd love to see it being played on every now and then!" ---Maybe there are other communities more willing to accept and interact along than AA's--- (Why did I say maybe? Fuck. It's 100% certain that there are!).

Nate: "Oh, I don't want to learn a whole new GE and whatnot. Too much work!"
Dennis: "Oh, that'd be fun as hell. I'll just watch it happen and bring joy when most needed!"
Etc: "Oh, blah blah *excuses* blah blah *more excuses* bleh bleh *invalid excuses* and finally, meh!"

Well then;

Nate: I bet GE have a kind of similarity to them. Not only that, you too need to realize starting from scratch now won't be nearly as hard as it was in the past. You now know a bit more, if not consistently more, about shapes, dynamics, textures, meshes, sounds, and so on. True, it could take you loads of reading and experimenting, but wouldn't that pay off in the long run? I mean, wouldn't map-leveling with a newer GE, that is being used widely across the gaming community and that is 1000x more accepted than the previous be worth it? You'd greater the chances of seeing your maps being played online. You'd give yourself that boost. From what I know of you, having that or not having it at all won't make much of a difference to you. But then again, that's not entirely true now, is it? I remember how community-founded you were back when mAAp was being played on. I remember seeing and feeling/sensing those wacky vibes from you, and it was, in all its naturally, very rewarding and joyful.

Dennis: You know this already. We've spoken about it a couple of times now. You have a problem in taking this seriously. More precisely, you have a problem taking yourself seriously. In being bound by and to commitment. In being honest as to what truly passionates you, and how your actions can make you different out of it. Hesitation, hesitation, I hear it echoing from down below. Wake the fuck up, will you, buddy? I'll promise you, you'll feel better once you've done. Oh you will, jolly mother you will!

[irony] Etc: I don't know what to say man. You were vague with your "blah blah". I guess I'll just tell you out. [/irony]


In a generalised remark;
"You can always count on Americans to do the right thing - after they've tried everything else.”

It's about damn time?

I have loads of shit to say, but I won't.

I won't be coming back right now, too.

All I have to say is:

"You have said Bye about 50 times and you always came back!" --Skrewy noted.

This would have been true, if only those had been honest decisions. Almost always, they had a daedal interest behind them. A delicious fruit weighting in compensation. A slightly less given result than the one wished. Things functioned differently. I was a power-hungry beast, to say the least. Time has matured me and I am happy to say things are no longer that way. Naturally, you withheld doubts and launch archetypal questions towards the malfunctioning mechanism that our head reveals. Why, must you ask. How, must you wonder. What for, your lyrical thoughts incarcerate. In its most, the key to the answer remains in the state of being.

Because what I need is freedom, in spirit as in physical, in mentality as in sensibility. A free shade. A free vague notion of freedom, that even in its own free existence, finds himself perceiving freedom as nothing but an option available at his free will. In other words, a whole new complex. A multi-layer system that will, in each of the levels, generate a perceptual form of thinking --different from any ever seen, and ever known to myself. I need a new look at reality. A new palette of colours. In order for this search to be possible, I must abstain from the kind of life I am leading now and, as per assumption, to all that connects me to it. Bid your farewells, young ever-lasting friends, bid yours and make justice to the love you feel for me. I am the women you never had, the car you never drove, the enemy you never won against. I am a metaphorical existence, and just like you, I undergo repenting shifts of will and reality-thinking.



To all, I bid my farewell and thank in grace.
With my best regards and attention,
Daniel Nascimento.

These were all good and fun maps to play in. I want to play them again, with you all, for a last time.

Not everyoneone from non-English speaking countries can speak English as good as Dann.  

I am flattered.  8)
