If they every release it. Haha, I've been looking forward to it for just over 3 years now. A PC gaming magazine here in Australia ran a front page feature on it just over a year ago and they said that the devs let them play the game and from what they saw it looked done, but a year later and the devs are still just saying "When its done."

Lol...kinda funny that they only have two programmers.

I guess they are good programmers then

i think personally that would be my preference if I was working though, I'd find it awkward to try fit around a lot of other people's code.

I remember when I read about this two years ago.

Yeah, unfortunately it looks like that, but there's always hope.

I've also been following this (to nowhere) for 3 years.

So by that logic when they said December '09 we should get the game in Febuary of 2015?

Last code commit was June 19, 2011. At least it looks like the project is still alive.

Funny, isn't that how DNF turned out?

The developers and people who worked at 3DR slowly quit and the project began reworking (read: restarted) multiple times, till it was abandoned and picked up by a company simply due to nostalgic value?

keyboardlover · « **Reply #12 on:** Mon, 18 July 2011, 10:32:07 »

Not exactly. DNF is a full game - this is more like a mod. Substantially less work. DNF is a complete mess and doesn't look anywhere near as polished as this.

Also, this mod is being developed by a group of volunteers whose roadblocks are likely more attributed to family obligations, etc. rather than red tape like with an actual company.
