FAF (Frequently Asked-for Features)

Post by seana11 »

In order to allow kharnov to keep his sanity, I'd like to make a list of asked-for features. Please check here for an answer before starting a topic.

Q: Can you make this game more like Call of Duty?
A: No, this is NOT a free version of CoD. Feature requests such as Ironsights and Slower gameplay will NOT be entertained. This game takes skill, unlike many new games. We do not want to be another stupid linear game.

Q: Can you add x element from x game?
A: Features from other games will not be added just because 'it'd be cool.' Please provide some justification as to how it would enhance the game. We also do not want to become a typical game released today, so please be prudent about what you suggest.

Q: I had this great idea! We could do x! It'd be really cool!
A: Again, what was said before. Please provide justification to the idea.

Q: How come Unvanquished just looks like Tremulous with better graphics?
A: crickets

That's not asking for a feature.

I think it would be better if the devs added an FAQ to the homepage instead.

Yes, we will add a FAQ. That's probably required.

What do you mean by quality? Most of trem models have under 1k tris, while unv models have several thousands. It's not even a competetion.
Map textures are higher res on new maps and some even have bump mapping.
There're dynamic shadows, a lot better particles and lighting as well.
Many new high quality animations have been added.

If by quality you mean design, then it's an entirely different matter.
IMHO some of the new models could be improved, but they are still light years ahead of trem models.
