i see some topics unreplied for iono, a few weeks now, and most of them seem dead, look at the majority of the hosted projects, how many are more than half done? if not 30% done? how much have they done over a period of a week?
there was that one project, the leader flamed everyone for askin questions, and that thye didnt need a 'purdy' progress check

now how many projects are actually done?

but i think most are either... 1. dead, 2. vacation, 3. diligently working, 4. working good and hard (project enigma), and 5. we dont know

Hard to judge them all, as not all projects post their work, and certainly dont all have the same approach to the public. There's a big variation in the ambitions, skills and qiality of projects, so hard to bunch them all and give them a single rating.

Thumbs up to Revolution, Omininous Horizons, Raviganion, Enigma, Realm Design, Nature's Call. I believe these lead the community in all sence of the word.

Agreed with Whitehorn there. If I can give names, mods like the Union, Star Trek and Metroid "mod" dont really deserve their place because apart from the conceptual side they dont seem to do much. Yeah yeah its all happening in the private forums... its been months they say it (not metroid mod but its going in the same direction). Thats for the projects that are really going downhill and deserve a cleanup.
The Power of Might, Hunted, Halo mod and Age of Darkness have seemed to slow down tremendously, with their valable reasons. I dont follow any of the lesser projects/maps so I cant comment but the rest of the projects that Whitehorn stated seem to be moving along slowly sometimes but surely.
The majority of projects here need a boost thats all.

fyi, we just started less than a month ago
second, we are planning on releasing a demo in at least 1 or 2 months

thats all i have to say for myself, no comment on any other mods

A warning to those willing to actually post their opinions about certain projects, some people cant take it and will give you a negative reputation point and flame you *cough*aznwhore*cough*.

in that case ill post my opinion on the mod im part of. the WOZ public forum has been fairly quiet for the most part. i just thought most of the work was going on in the private forum. theres even less activity in there. not that i think its dead. all the work thats been done so far will keep it alive. its probably just in a slump at the moment as a lot of exams are around now

The union has work done in the private forums. I'm doing the Naga Bouivac right now, but I'm gonna finish it in the summer.

Theres alot of projects that aren't getting anything done, or barely getting anything done. Then theres a few that you don't know whether anything is getting done or not too.

Theres a few projects that seemed to have stalled. Including my own TTOA, but in a few days, I'm going to be jumping back on that now that schools out.

Then theres the far and the few projects that are kicking ass. Such as Project Enigma, Realms Design, and Ominous Horizons. Keep up the good work guys :D, hopefully I'll be bumping up the pace of TTOA to meet with you guys. ^_^

I more or less agree with whitehorn on this one, since he mentioned projects that's actually getting stuff done. Still there's always that thing with them getting released. Since few actually does, even though they DO get alot of work done. Oh well, TToR isn't gonna die easily though. Not as long as I'm here.

Although the only project I've really been following is OH, the majority of projects seem to be extremely slow or dead. Just in glancing through the forums, the only ones that really seem alive are OH, Realm Design, Enigma, and TToR, and to a lesser extent Project Revolution and Project ROR! Which is unfortunate, since that means that around 85% of the hosted projects are dead or really slow :/

In the summer I except the projects to pick up, as most people attend school and are too busy to work on there projects in the meantime. The only campaigns I am looking forward too are RoTD, HoS, WoS and the Hunted Campaign, only two of which are on this site.
