Hey folks, just wanted to let you know that Arne has made a thread with a bunch of new Cortex Command art works-in-progress! It’s a cool place to check out the process HERE!

DON’T CHANGE THE SUBJECT DAN.
This is great and all, but can you actually give us something better then a car to drive around with? That didn’t even work for me, by the way.
B24. When.
This is 14 months of hard work
We need Cortex Command!
DON’T YOU TRY TO GET OUR ATTENTION OFF BUILD 24, DAN.
WE ARE WATCHING YOU.
B24
We need it.
I like that brainbot (bottom Pic on the right side)… though I do hope we get B24 as a early Christmas Present
Yes, guys . . . It’s not B24, but it’s some really sweet art, and a tasty dose of universe background info to boot. Still great stuff in my book !
B24 news next time, though this is probably the next best thing.
I think we’ve all been harshing on you a bit much Mr. Tabar. It seems like you are making excellent progress on BOTH CC and the CVE, and are motivating the development team to continue their contributions to CC. I congratulate you on a job very well done, and I hope to see you and your company thrive in the videogame industry.
Please, by all means take your time in CC’s development (just don’t become VALVe). Quality is better than quantity (of releases) I always say!
But in all seriousness, how is B24 coming? Do you have any internal deadlines you’d like to share so people can get a general feel for what’s being done and when?
Can I be a Content Dev? I could help alot with general ini stuff and Lua scripting things.
Seriously. No sarcasm.
Please make cavecricket a content dev, he’s a fucking genious!
*genius damn I am never getting used to this language
Do it. CC48 for dev!
Sigh…
B24!!!!!!!!!!! It’s my favorite game! I can’t wait!
B24 nao?
cavecricket48, Please make him a content dev, he made a angry dynamic growing plant vine with no lag, and some of the best and coolest weapons and tools ever made

DaTa, please look at the links before you judge.
See, that wasn’t so hard was it? A bit of simple typing, posting of images, and you have pleased (most) of the community.
CC48 FOR DEV IN 2010!
I can get behind CC48 being a dev.
Cc48 for dev!
Love the art, need to get myself a pad and start practicing!
CC48 for content dev,

Cavecricket48 for content dev, please?

This is not a new build update or anything at all related to the development of CC.
WHY ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT IT
PacificV2, what are you talking about? The art is CC art, and it shows what’s in store for the content of future builds. It has everything to do with the development of CC.
+1 for supporters of CC48 becoming a content dev. But more importantly,
VELOCITY INHERITANCE FOR AEMITTERS
PLEASE
+1 CC48 4 ConDev
Or, better yet, he could do code with you! It seems like you have a pretty high Content Dev to Script Dev ratio.
Hey Cricket, please paste some urls to forum threads with your stuff!

@data, the links are posted, but they are “awaiting moderation” please check them.
Gotta say, thats pretty awesome artwork, I especially like the whitebot stuff. Also, make that 13 votes for CC48 as content dev.
I had no idea my eyes could orgasm.

… Well, If CC48 can do crazy stuff with what lua we have now. I’d love to see what he can do when more lua is implemented (as I assume will be the case for B24)
+1 CC48 for Content Dev
Yup, Cricket what’s the best way to get in touch with you?
Probably email. It’s the second thing that I check the most.
PMing me on the forums would work too, since I’m practically always logged on.
Holy shit CC48 is a dev!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
HOLY SHIT HE IS!
YAAY!
Haha for once something happened in the devlog comments XD
I wonder what’s the first thing CC48 checks the most… What a perv!
Well, things should be done in no time now, I feel like we’ve accomplished something here today..
He is? Dose not say so on the forums!
Meanwhile, Minecraft -explodes- with publicity as they are featured on the page of the Team Fortress 2 development blog, granting Minecraft the possibility to be exposed to anybody that plays TF2 on PC.
Why?
Because one man felt that as difficult as it would be to add a multiplayer feature to a game that procedurally generates maps of -infinite- size, it would enhance the experience of the game for the players as well as the game itself.
Yesterday when I saw the number of MC sales, it was ~36k.
Today, it’s ~37k.
At $10/game…
That’s ten thousand dollars in a single day.
Do you see what I mean now about how much multiplayer could do for this game? [As I have bitched about it in other CC blog posts
]
This is the kind of exposure Cortex Command is missing out on.
Moreso, it could bring in swaths of talented individuals [such as CaveCricket, Zalo, and TheLastBanana] that could lend a hand in development, and I -know- Tabar wouldn’t mind the extra money.
Seriously Dan, think about it. Long, and hard.
I love how this log went from Arne’s awesome art to being Cavecricket’s own gallery of mods.
… No idea how my name neded up like that in the last post…

… oops… damn computer’s on the fritz.
MC has nearly made another $10,000 since my last message.
TONS0PHUN: You do know that Minecraft and CC aren’t really comparable? It’s not about what “should” be included. It’s about what “can” be included. Minecraft doesn’t do per-pixel physics calculations. The world is very much a static array that just gets updated in the server when people dig/build and loaded into the client as divided world-segments.
Besides, from programmer viewpoint – adding multiplayer to minecraft is easy – sending plain, gzipped chunks of data? No problem with infinite maps, and rest is just a standard fps-style movement, objects, etc.
As for Cortex Command – adding multiplayer would be just plain impossible, since, as Atomictroop mentioned – it does per-pixel physics, and here even slightest lag or difference in fps would result in desync and disconnection.
It WOULD be possible to do, but it would be slow, buggy and limited no matter how hard you try to correct it.
I don’t like Minecraft, the green monsters scare me…
CC also has multitudes of unnecessary calculations as well, such as particles having values of rotation.
Still, one can always dream. T-T
I’m afraid you guys aren’t even working, like wtf give me an update on the engine, I mean this is cool too, but seriously wtf data…
He just made CC a content dev.
I don’t think we are entitled to complain in anything less than a week now.
YEAH CHILL OUT BRO
Well, Data update speed is not really astonishing, and lack of blog posts about how is it going is rather weird, it’s nothing strange that people are wondering what’s happening…
It’s not that weird, it’s been like this since forever.
what is this? we just stopped at 64? I remember a day when the dev log commenters could reach 200 comments in a matter of WEEKS. Strange times indeed…
I too have lost a Devlog.
Let us begin anew.
Cookie to whoever spots the referrence.
You know… just a post that said ‘Sup pplz’ would be better than nothing…
http://www.pbfcomics.com/?cid=PBF211-Atlantis.jpg
cookies!
Tomorrow this log is a month old! *brings cake*
Have a delicious cookie endahs, for spotting the referrence.
this site is dead.
No it’s just hibernating.
DRL in general is like a lizard that’s living in the depths of the ocean. It’s quite alive, just not doing a whole lot of anything.
Indeed.
Hah, I see what just happened there. Like, like a LIZARD as in the animal but also the… the username as well which.. which makes it… fuuunnnnnyyyy…
Can we talk about something ELSE for a change, maybe current events? Or perhaps what will happen in Y2K!!
this sucks.
fine, this site is hibernating.
be that way duh. BE THAT WAY
At least when an animal is hibernating, we know WHEN it wakes up.
Yeah, when you poke it in the face with a stick.
*Pokes DRL in the face with a stick. Repeatedly.*
Ow, stop it. I’m not sleeping. Go poke Data.
POKE POKE POKE POKE POKE her face! (her being DRL)
@Cave: We tried, but he started shooting at us with his damned AK…
@Lizard: He’ll run out of ammo eventually. Assault his house!
No he won’t.
You seem to be forgetting the fact that people are buying cortex command, therefore buying Dan more ammo!
@Lizard: Maybe that’s the whole point since the beginning… Dan’s master plan for a killing spree.
Haha, you’re obviously misjudging him.
He’s a gentle giant.
I had a dream yesterday we got b24. Ironically, in the dream, brutality mod seemed better. my subconscious is loosing faith data. ) :
@Lafe: If you dreamed about b24… then real-life is a nightmare
I live in the middle of nowhere, ive got nothing better to do than play cc/ script. all my friends are busy and everyone else is a stoner/chav. it really sucks.
Cool story bro.
I’m serious.
Its all true. no joke. theirs all of like ~70 kids within 2 years of my age, maby 17 with brains in their heads.
Where do they keep their brains?
In jars?
At least for the men, in their dicks. I’m not sure where women keep their brains when they misuse them, I suppose they could be keeping them down there as well.
XD so funni
Lol.
You people are idiots, if my product’s customers were people like you, i would feel absolutely no oblogation to update.
Orly?
For your info Danny here felt no obligation to update way before CC was a ‘Product’ and we his ‘Customers’.
He never was much of the update type, he used to update once or twice every month or two, but not once a year…
ONE HUNDRED HIT COMBO
YAH TAH TAH
You people are awesome, if my product’s customers were people like you, I would shoot myself… in the dick!
Also #101 pwns 100
Every day.
Coming up on the two month anniversary of this post! So Exciting!!
meow mix
OMG THERE’S NO NEW POST TODAY, I AM THE CHOCK!
Opss.. Shift
I bought the ’special developer support’ version of this game 2-3 years ago.
I have seen blessed little in the way of updates.
I’m having trouble avoiding a sensation of disappointment. I was interested in the campaign, not all the mods flying around out there, so I haven’t had much more than 2 missions for the purchase.
Any news on when it’s updating?
When the next update is done.
They probably have a lot of stuff to eat and see before they release the next build.
srsly tho update nao
Monday! Let’s get our hope high and be crushed by the usual “no dev log update”!
I hate this life.
Regardless my opinions for business, I still enjoy CC greatly and check here for updates at least once a week.
I hope everything is progressing well!
Dude. I check here at least two or three times a day . . . and I gotta agree with you, regardless of the business situation, I really want this to succeed.
It’s intresting that you still can buy the ’special developer support’ thing, I don’t anything will get Data to get thing rolling again.
It’s sorta funny that there has been longer waits between builds before and now you guys are talking about “data getting the thing rolling again”.
There is nothing funny about 1 year and a half of waiting.
To me it is, I have a sadistic sense of humor.
O hey CC is getitng in touch wiht Dan, bout time :3
Finally. I wonder if this means Data is actually going to do something?
Today I am starting my three years of military service. By the time i’m done with it I expect to see a finished product. Or atleast a devlog post…
^Remember, if shit gets thick, just tell them you’re gay.
“O hey CC is getitng in touch wiht Dan, bout time :3″
Source?
Cavecricket himself. There is a forum you know.
This game used to be fun then it started to suck because there was nothing new.
HEY GUYS GUESS WHAT B24 EARLY DECEMBER.
JUST SAYIN.
WE ON THE FORUM KNEW BOUT IT SINCE A WEEK AGO ISH.
Early december… like updates each monday.
The Rodent King has broken the website! All hail!
Why do I guess weasel has had his part in this?
@Tomaster: Rodney King?
No the Rodent King. lrn2read.
It’s resolved now tho.
I’ve got rss feed in my opera mini, so i check for updates of, among other, cc at least ten times a day. Somehow lack of updates disappoints me. Is data trying to turn as much ppl as possible off?
No, he’s just not good at updates.
He hired a pr man to update the blog but the pr man turned out to not be that good at it either.
There’s a difference between “not be that good” and “inexistent”…
When you think about it… that’s sad… a monkey would write something… even if it’s something like “rh98eog8jhi/”
We want some news
3 months already… Some progress must have be done since…
Aw, c’mon. It’s only been 86 days. You guys are so impatient….
Funny.
Not really, but you get my point.
It’s understandable enough when one guy who makes a game doesn’t update his blog, but when he hires a guy to do pr stuff, one expects him to update it atleast.
I feel like one of the reasons that Data doesn’t update more often is that when he posts something that just says:
“Still working”
a few hypocritical people get angry that the post doesn’t actually contain new content.
So he just decides to wait until he actually has something important to say.
I’m pretty sure it’s just because he would rather not dirty his hands with us. We’re kinda like the necessary but unmentionable bacteria in the septic system in Data’s back yard. We do important tasks (like keeping the game alive) but we’re not something you’d want to immerse yourself in.
Well put sir.
That’s ma’am to you soldier.
Ms.sir
nononono, it’s “Mr. Ma’am”
Yet another day without blog update… >.>
Did you expect one? Just sit tight and play Minecraft or something . . . that’s what I’ll be doing.
Speaking of Minecraft… Halloween update?
Seriously, when that update hits I’ll be just fine ’til B24. Quality indie games are wonderful things.
Quite so.
Just a moth till B24 aswell
December 31 is still in December… so in 2 months! … MAYBE!
He said EARLY december, not just december, besides it’s very likely to be in the next humble indie bundle.
Listem to me, it’s like I’m doing that one guy’s job.
Except actually doing it.
Just in the devlog only.
Hey data, you should hire me for community Q/A, I have so much free time that I’m practically availble 24/7 =D
Would be nice if you could say you’re not dead AFTER the release of B24 aswell
Happy Halloween Data!
Happy Halloween!! =D
I’m all for that, Lizard – I think you’d easily do a much better job of keeping the community informed (especially since the guy Data hired doesn’t actually post anything).
Happy Halloween, guys!
*returns to Minecraft, dons a new Jack-O-Lantern hat*
By the way, where did Data mention the early December date for B24? If there’s a better place than the Devlogs to find out about such things, It’d be nice to know . . .
Actually, never mind. Figured that out myself.
Yeah the interview by MLC :3

Whoo, early December.
That’s what they said…
It had better be released in early December, we haven’t had a new build in forever.
EARLY CHRISTMAS IT IS THEN
O hey look DRLFF is experiencing an indie game wave:

This is so exciting!
Early December is tomorrow!
No it ain’t.
Early december is 1st to 14th-ish.
GGGUUUUHHHH! That means that it might come out in time for my birthday on December 11th! :3
Crap this will kill my Social life. BRING THE METAMAP BABY!
Holy crap guys. I just realised, the most recent build was released on May 19th LAST YEAR.
I didn’t realise it had been so long.
Soon we’ll be mid-december!
for those who havnt seen it yet http://www.humblebundle.com/
no details as of yet, but the links up =)
*checks calendar again*
Yep, still early December.
It is now early-mid December.
Will we get new build before christmas?
Data: “mid december is the deadline”
We’re not quite out of time, folks. Sit tight and stay calm . . .
We ought to collaborate some how to publicize this release, and give Data a budgetary bump. Plus CC is fun and awesome, and deserves to be played. Start talking about Cortex Command any other place you talk about games on the web!
