Under heavy construction!
Posted by Data in Cortex Command - August 25th, 2009

wipbotProm and I have now been working together in real life and in person on Cortex Command for over two weeks. Needless to say, there is a LOT of progress in general, and specifically on nailing down how the campaign is going to work. The next few days weeks we are going to post some of the very cool new stuff that is coming up..

    hmmm… weeks eh?… its been weeks and as of another week from now it will have been a month… hope its a big one (like an awesome campaign)… I’m almost drooling at that thought… also an edit that tells us more specifically what you all are up to would be helpful. Keep up the good work… honestly I thought the devs had gotten swine flu and been stalled 🙂

    Well that was mean, you said you’d be posting updates and none ever came, unless those pics are your “updates”.

    STEALTH EDIT!

    I CALL SHENANIGANS!

    NinjaData makes a ninja edit.

  6. pieman - # September 19th, 2009 at 1:19 pm

    LOL! I didn’t even notice the edit until I read the past few comments.

    I can’t wait for the preview! I bet we’ll have the continuation of the “First signs” mission when B24 comes out.

    Спасибо за работу Дата, я вам очень благодарен, и спасибо за то, что вы исправили “пять дней” на “пять недель”)) жду с нетерпением нового билда

  9. Fli`c - # September 20th, 2009 at 10:45 am

    lolwut? few, not five.
    (dev’s few – it is few times greater then five:)

    щито? несколько, а не пять.
    (девелоперское несколько – в несколько раз больше пяти:)

    DATA SUCKS MY BALLS, fucking slow ass motherfucker who never wants to update. MY ASS a few days, oh wait now it says WEEKS oh that makes it better.. pffff. dude, look at dwarf fortress, theres been no update in a year, but the guy posts every two days about what hes doing, he shows the updates and he proves that hes doing something other than sitting on his fat duff all day.

  11. Gordag - # September 20th, 2009 at 8:11 pm

    Thank you, Data!
    ..

    Appeal to the upper posts. Why do you write a Russian translation?

    Обращение к вышестоящим. Зачем вы написали русский перевод?

  12. war_man333 - # September 21st, 2009 at 12:24 am

    Yo Data, I’m really happy for you, I’mma let you finish, but Garry Newman was the best of all time at updating his blog. OF ALL TIME.

    I’m gonna go ahead and expect an update in the middle of October or something.

  13. Abbat - # September 21st, 2009 at 2:05 am

    Не пять дней а несколько лол юзай переводчик чтоли

  14. Mooseral - # September 21st, 2009 at 5:02 pm

    It’s funny, TIGS updated with a photo that Data took.

    I dunno, I find that somehow amusing in this context.

  15. tons0phun - # September 21st, 2009 at 9:19 pm

    It’s been a month now.
    May we see some of the features and content you have in store for the next build?

    Also, when will there be more improvements made for Skirmish?

    Also-also, never change the revolver cannon. As it is, that gun is badass.

    Thanks, and keep up the good work!

  16. FailSauce - # September 21st, 2009 at 10:25 pm

    Hey data, you know that thing you do where you keep your fans completely out of the loop about the game they’ve purchased?

    Yeah, that should stop soon.

    I understand that you’re busy with the game, but there is NO WAY you are too busy to let us know what you’re doing, or how things are going, or whats happening.

    STEALTH EDIT!

    ——-

    He’s actually right. It says ‘weeks’ instead of ‘days’ – Data was probably speaking in Valve days instead of the ones the rest of us use. Silly Data! :>

    Really, though, I’m looking forward to this, but the infrequency of updates scares me somewhat. Maybe some of the content developers could help code or something similar – take some of the load off of Data? I don’t know….

  18. FinDude - # September 22nd, 2009 at 7:04 am

    Oh, gdc is over.
    Soon we will get a post about it and some random teaser picture and more out-of-the-hat dates.

  19. iKP - # September 23rd, 2009 at 5:31 am

    Data! My birthday is the 16th of October! You better have something by then! Consider it a birthday present for your ‘loyal servant’ then…

    On a side note, I’m bored right outta my mind. Although I already bought a license, Imma buy a shiny new one (the Support-DataRealms one) just to make these guys work faster…. I also wanna be a Brain on DRL forums. I talk too much, I write too much. UPDATE UPDATE UPDATE WHERE!!!!????

  20. PoE - # September 23rd, 2009 at 6:45 am

    Hey guys from Data Realms, maybe you should speak with Valve and include CC into Steam game list? It will become more popular and you will gain more money!

  21. PoE - # September 23rd, 2009 at 6:47 am

    And forgot…If you will have more money, you will work faster and make new versions for as mush more FASTER!

  22. Godless - # September 23rd, 2009 at 6:19 pm

    Off-topic, but I’m loving the new Babies meme in the fora. Been out of it for a while, and it just keeps jumping at you. I lol’d.

  23. Bluedrake42 - # September 23rd, 2009 at 8:57 pm

    you know data, I’m a big fan of Operation Flashpoint,
    And I’ve just come to realize how much the upcoming sequel is suffering from being rushed out of development. I appreciate that you guys work hard and take your time. I think I’m okay with waiting knowing you guys give your best.

    One of Arne’s (prom’s) comments, on his blog:

    “I actually should be working on other stuff now (we’ve been planning to wrap up Cortex Command, as in adding actual content and balanced campaign gameplay), but I damaged a rib so I’m taking it easy until I’ve regained the necessary levels of articulation.”

    …Eh.

    Data, what have you been up to? Clearly baseball bats do not make artists work better. Nor does extreme mountain rocket biking.

  25. Ch33n - # September 24th, 2009 at 4:47 am

    Scout is delicious.

    I wish Data would remove his brain from his body, implement it into a robot and control an army, taking over star systems in an intergalactic goldru-.

    Oh, wait.

    … Ow… Also I think he might have been R/L testing new content… does he not see how many coalition and dummy Soldiers have died testing this stuff! well jezes

  27. Krumbs - # September 24th, 2009 at 9:52 am

    I don’t see that on his blog.

    Assuming you are meaning this blog: http://diglett.blogspot.com/

  28. Mooseral - # September 25th, 2009 at 1:08 am

    It’s in the comments section of the latest post as of the posting of this comment. HA! I think that was potentially confusing but not necessarily as confusing as it potentially might have been.

    But yeah, #162 and #163 have it largely right; Prom should totally become a dismembered brain! Then he can injure none of his ribs! As he can just injure those of his clone cohorts!

    Also, scouts? Delicious? I do not fully comprehend which scout it is you allude to.

    Still looking forward to the finished product though, whenever it may come out. I’m on all of the topics!

  29. Ch33n - # September 25th, 2009 at 6:43 am

    Well, you know;
    Scouts are… Small and munchful. While the chinchilla is a fierce monster which can rip stuff apart with it’s gigantic thumbs.

    I’m just rambling randomly.

    …
    ‘Ey man, It’s your cousin, want to go bowling together?!

  30. tons0phun - # September 25th, 2009 at 9:23 am

    So I’m just gonna shoot a guess here…

    Is CC somehow going to tie-in to your project on Starflight?

    ‘Cause that’d be pretty sick if you could have inter-galactic travel, and then when you land on a planet it goes into CC style gameplay.

    But namely, because of multiplayer.
    It’s the only thing keeping this game from being a PC gaming phenomena.

  31. Alexander - # September 25th, 2009 at 4:00 pm

    I am anticipating the next build. Keep making the game, and I’ll keep reading the blasphemies shouted by those few who do out in praise of Mr. Data with each log entry.
    lol

  32. ucws - # September 26th, 2009 at 2:04 am

    期待全新版本的面世。:)

    FURY OF THE CHINCHILLA

  34. Rabdy - # September 26th, 2009 at 5:44 pm

    When will this finally be done?

  35. Ch33n - # September 27th, 2009 at 1:08 am

    IT’S GOING TO EAT YOU!
    RUN, MAN! RUUUN!

  36. ZNESS - # September 27th, 2009 at 1:15 am

    A new update, even of little content would be appreciated.

  37. Mooseral - # September 27th, 2009 at 1:57 am

    Data should comment in on this post again, or something.

    Or, we could always fill the comments thread with chinchillas. That would be also be a something.

  38. Krumbs - # September 27th, 2009 at 5:33 am

    I’ll tell you who update their devlog daily, the Overgrowth lads! They seem pretty ‘with it’.

    FURRRYYYYYYYYYY!

  40. Will - # September 27th, 2009 at 7:38 am

    Fury, not furry.

  41. Mooseral - # September 27th, 2009 at 12:16 pm

    Both, I’d say.

    OH GOD RUN FOR YOUR LIFE.
    Seriously though, just a little update, please? A single pic, a sentence describing what’s going on? Can’t be that hard. 🙁
