How does Aces High work?
« on: May 23, 2007, 04:21:26 PM »
Im just curiouse as to the prcess the staff goes through to render a new aircraft out of thin air, and how to put a face on the guys bringing us this game.

I mean I can at-least get a sneak peak at how the new Halo was made, and who was responsible for what aspect of the game, but not Aces High.

I was wondering if perhaps one of the staff would be willing to take some digital of themselves, and where they work, and post it on myspace.
Like a biography. Not long or anything, but atleast show us a couple of snips here and there, renderings of planes from the past and such....

anyway, this is the place to plug ideas.:aok

stephen, the term "Aces High" and "disclosure of information", doesn't mix.

 We've been waiting the Combat Tour for years now, and frankly, the total number of HTC news on CT development ever posted on these forums, is like less then 10 posts total.

 So don't ask them anything. It saves a lot of grief.

HTC is modeled after Chinese software sweat shops with 10,000 chimpanzees  pounding away on 10,000 computers 18 hours a day and seeing what they can come up with.

QFT.  It was in mid 2003 that the CT was announced. The CT is one of two things. Ether it is the longest game development in history. Or it is the greatest marketing ploy ever devised. :aok

I played WB1 when they released WB2 but kept WB1 open.  It split the player base overnight.  Those that had older PC's couldn't use WB2 and look at WB now even after closing WB1.  Their lucky to get 90 guys on.  

Could you imagine LW 1 and 2 + CT ?  

IMO for it to work they'd have to release CT as some sort of box game with options to go interactive.

sorry for the hijack.

I believe there is a large aquarium with walruses in it that knock around beach balls of ideas and that's how it works, I might be confused though.

Where does Battlecruiser 3000AD fall in there then?  IIRC, it dragged out for over seven years.
