Posted by Andy in Cortex Command - December 5th, 2009

Wandering around on the intertubes the other day, both Dan and I independently came across this cool Zero-gravity experiments video. A guy makes a sphere of water in (held together in zero-g by a loop of wire) and does neat things like injecting air bubbles into it and making waves. Worth a watch!

It reminded us of a cool game called Osmos. There’s a trailer you can watch of the game here for comparison.

Osmos has, like Cortex Command, has won an IGF award too! It really is a lot of fun and is a very new and unique game mechanic. Check out the demo here.

Speaking of other games, have any of you checked out Minecraft?

By “a few”, weasel means two. Mine and THOR’s.
Ch33n - # December 5th, 2009 at 2:01 pm
Eh, alright, good to see the Dev Log being updated a lot, but personally, this is a bit TOO ‘up close and personal’. moar cc.
zalo - # December 5th, 2009 at 2:41 pm
Wasn’t this the kind of thing Data didn’t want you to do?

Also, make 0 Grav in CC and we have a deal.
Foogooman - # December 5th, 2009 at 4:03 pm
Maybe they are hinting at a CC feature.

Both great games!

I actually liked this post a lot, even though it didn’t have anything to do with Cortex Command.

Good job, Andy!

“Osmos has, like Cortex Command, has”

…typo.
Lizard - # December 6th, 2009 at 5:27 am
@Cakedemon:
Minecraft and osmos is very different from CC, the only thing similar is that one is physics-based and one has mining.
Zortecian - # December 6th, 2009 at 8:13 am
I love minecraft!
Striker121 - # December 6th, 2009 at 11:28 am
Never heard of minecraft, I’ll have to try it. Nice to see you guys promoting other cool indie games. Also, I AM STILL ALIVE, just don’t check the forums. I’ll be active once the new build comes out….whenever that will happen…
3POK_PHALE - # December 7th, 2009 at 8:13 am
Minecraft is awesome.

Go to one of Duh’s servers. THOR’s server is filled with elitists.

Which one is Duh’s? I went to the one that said,(something to the effect of) “CC Private Server” and got in the mod said “what does CC mean?” So I tried to figure out how to talk for like 10 seconds and got banned >_>.

I’m not even sure if Data himself knows that

endahs - # December 8th, 2009 at 7:53 pm
Dear Data n’ everybody,

My birthday is coming up in a few days and I was just wondering if there was any sort of estimation on when the next build will be coming out. I think I speak for everyone when I say that it has been a long wait and we’re real excited for this forthcoming build. I need something to occupy my christmas break so if you could just put the finishing touches on it and send it out into the world that would be just dandy. Love, Tom.

Hyperkultra - # December 9th, 2009 at 8:11 pm
Well, at least this is finally back up. The forums still aren’t working though. I’m getting lonely… ;__;
Geti - # December 9th, 2009 at 8:27 pm
DAMNIT SITE IS SO FUCKED UP WHAT HAPPENED
/forum now directs to forums.datarealms.com, which gives a nice mix of 404 and error page. Get on it men! This has been fucked up since last night
Hyperkultra - # December 9th, 2009 at 8:33 pm
What Geti said. Seriously, I know IRC got screwed up, and then the forums got shut down for maintainence today, but what happened? Does it REALLY take this long? Or did someone screw something up while trying to de-screw whatever was originally screwed?
Hyperkultra - # December 9th, 2009 at 8:36 pm
Ok, the forums are sort of halfway back up ish.
Duh102 - # December 9th, 2009 at 8:40 pm
Official position: During the middle of a maintenance session, something went wrong and they had to redo the entire thing. Web, forum, and IRC, all in one.
Only thing to do is wait for WJ or whoever to fix it, which it looks like they’re doing.
Tomaster - # December 9th, 2009 at 9:00 pm
:O
Echo - # December 9th, 2009 at 9:44 pm
Hay guise. Nothing happening on Cortex Command as usual. Look at these other games so we can pretend the devlog has a point!
411570N3 - # December 9th, 2009 at 10:17 pm
>>Ok, the forums are sort of halfway back up ish.
Explain please; I only get 404 and Could Not Locate Remote Server.
411570N3 - # December 9th, 2009 at 10:18 pm
Also, is the IRC up? I don’t seem to be able to connect to it – though that could just be me sucking at using IRC for the first time.

Well the login is working. (I managed to get to that page, by the way)
Geti - # December 10th, 2009 at 1:42 am
login is working, posting system is not, the lockdown everything page is still up. topic of the digibase.ca irc says 2045 but leaves no timezone, but pauls on now and he doesnt know so I’m assuming no-one does.
Is the forum database actually gone or is it just down for “maintainance” till ambiguoustime?
that youtube video is pretty neat by the way.
Yay - # December 10th, 2009 at 3:15 am
It must be the power of the new release that did this. The servers can’t handle the awesomeness… May fluffykins have mercy on us all…
411570N3 - # December 10th, 2009 at 3:50 am
The forums now appear to be fully functional.
411570N3 - # December 10th, 2009 at 4:52 am
Scancode said not to use the forums for a while because he’s upgrading them.
So yeah.

It’s back and stuff. There’s a current status thread in the forums.
Everything is at least semi-working except IRC, which he’s asking use to use the other server for.
Tomaster - # December 12th, 2009 at 12:34 pm

Nevermind. It’s working now.

So no chance of a new build this year then? Shame.

Andy, may I speak to you privately in the kitchen for a moment? Thanks…

How dare you! You think you can just shirk your responsibilities? Can’t you see you’re tearing this family apart!! Ever since you got here you’ve spoiled us. Giving us presents and making promises, but of course you don’t keep them!!
At least data made us humble and we patiently waited for the newest update. But you, you are here one minute, and one day I’ll come home and you’ll have packed and be gone and I won’t know when you’re coming back!! We can’t keep living like this Andy! We can’t!!…So you can go join your friends and get drunk. Go have a great time Andy!! But just remember that it’s at our expense…

Two updates in a week,
I bet you think that’s pretty clever don’t you boy?
Flying on your little keyboard,
watching all the fans beneath you drop
we’d kill ourselves for recognition,
kill ourselves for you to never, ever stop
You broke another promise,
you’re turning into something you are not

Don’t leave me high, don’t leave me dry
Don’t leave me high, don’t leave me dry

Drying up in devlog-sation,
you’ll be the one who cannot talk
All your fan-dom fall to pieces,
you just sit there wishing you could still make love
They’re the ones who’ll blame you
when you think you’ve got the internet all sussed out
They’re the ones who’ll cry to you,
you’ll be the one screaming out

Don’t leave me high, don’t leave me dry
Don’t leave me high, don’t leave me dry

Oh, it’s the best thing that you ever had,
the best thing that you ever, ever had.
It’s the best thing that you ever had,
the best thing you have had has gone away.

Don’t leave me high, don’t leave me dry
Don’t leave me high, don’t leave me dry
Don’t leave me high,
Don’t leave me high, don’t leave me dry

Honestly, not even a mailbag? Goddamnit, torturing us with promises and to-be content is bullshit. And even more bullshitty is the fact that i’ve paid for not even getting an update to wish merry christmas. Happy new year anyone? Future of the game? Anything like “2009 has been a great year for CC developement”? It would cheer me up just to know that something has happened.

Is it an oxymoron to say that by nothing happening something happened (because nothing happening is something happening, that something = nothing)… No Andy that is not an excuse

Well, i mean, yes, the devlog dose tend to get quite silly once the posts get past 100, but thats the thing.. if the devlog was updated when it was said to be, then the posts wouldent be so off topic and insane. The reason why this happens in the first place its because we run out of real CC related things to talk about around post one hundred. If the devlog was updated as much as it was said it would be, our post wouldent even REACH 100!
so i think we can have alittle fun and games now and again!
And im not blameing DATA or anyone else, im sure it is very hard to creat ontopic things about CC every week..thats no big deal. But if people are having fun posting stupid crap than just dont read the comments you silly goose, because really your just contributing to this (what you would call a)mess.

@Tomaster: You didn’t take into account “Santa’s Law”

“…..all things while from Dec 25-January 5 shall be deemed ’silly’ as people are getting drunk, laid, mugged, or otherwise they tend to create an effect similar to mob mentality but more so related to a frenzied-Good-Feeling. This is the holiday season so therefore humans tend to be unnaturally rash, stupid, drunk(more so than usual), etc…..”

Hi guys!
I’m, as most of you are, fond of CC, and really waiting for DR to come with another build.
Though, if I were an indie developper, and read something like “shitrealms”, I don’t think I would invest myself in working harder.
Please, please, keep calm, having paid a few dollars does not give you the right to write such things, exactly the same way that DataRealms has no obligation to post everyday for a bunch of impatient guys.

@Dabingo: Data may have a life but is it that hard to update the dev-log > once a month. As for Andy… I seem to remember “once every Monday” being reduced to “be happy with what you get”. Also I have the same hopes for the new build
Kzerog - # January 7th, 2010 at 9:19 am
I too do know people have lives outside the internet but still, posting a mailbag could really calm down the fans. I mean these guys are ready to storm datarealms with torches and pitchforks. And just to add to that, they named it monday mailbad so we expected them to come every monday since a blogger was HIRED to do it. Then it was called thursday mailbag when it turned out our blogger doesn’t follow time all that well. After that, everything died, a few mailbags, concept art and empty promises… *sigh*

Hey, look at that, a new dev update.
tons0phun - # January 7th, 2010 at 3:15 pm
The one thing I always find amusing is the lack of patience and tolerance to either side of the argument.

On one hand I hear moderators saying that Data owes us nothing, but that couldn’t be further from the truth. Where would CC be if nobody bought the game? Or spread it by word of mouth? Or provided feedback, and help foster a community for it? It wouldn’t have gotten this far, that’s for sure.

But the door swings both ways: I can’t count how many hours I must have sunken into this game whether it was staying up late nights by myself playing the game, learning how to modify things, or playing it with friends whom also enjoyed it. And I owe all those good times to Data’s [and friends'] patience and prudence in developing such an awesome game.

So, in short: we should point the finger at nobody but Andy for being so lazy.
Scope0 - # January 7th, 2010 at 4:03 pm
CC will never be finished and Data is moving on. He is slowly getting tired of working on this game. Progress is getting less and less.
ZevN47 - # January 7th, 2010 at 4:17 pm
@Hyper: I’ll take 3!

@Tonsophun: Ok… true and true… and… maybe true… I would feel kinda bad if I blamed Andy and he had gotten diagnosed with terminal cancer or something.
Al Gore - # January 7th, 2010 at 5:00 pm
My only complaint is with Andy, do to the fact that the only reason he is here is to update the devlog more often than data did. It was nice for a while when he did, but now it hasnt been updated in over a month, which means Andy isnt doing his job all too well.
airburst - # January 7th, 2010 at 5:14 pm

Woose - # January 7th, 2010 at 9:01 pm
I think there’s a trigger to post a new Devlog entry every time the posts get anywhere in size from 170-250. It must have been broken by constant spamming in that one topic then…
Oh well. *Goes and plays his shiny new Odyssey*
Stophe - # January 8th, 2010 at 5:24 am
@tons0phun: I’ll stay on the moderate side because I think that’s the way it works. Yes indeed I paid, but not for a product, I paid to help them. All the better if it works, of course!
But I already gave money to indie games that came nowhere close to release, and I can’t blame them for not being strong enough to stand against the giants of this world.

For example I gave 50$ to Rubies Of Eventide to get small advantages online, and help them get the engine to date… about a month before they closed the servers

But, yes indeed, we’re helping them and they could at least wave a hand once or twice a week. I think every argument on this subject should end with the words “Andy”, “Lazy” and a meaningful groan!

Mooseral - # January 11th, 2010 at 10:46 pm
What I’d really like to see in terms of CC development is simply further refining of the actual game-parts. I can understand if Data can’t refine the physics any further, as he is probably getting pretty sick of the engine by now and it’s not like there is any better pixel physics engine out there at the moment.

Just adding in things like the ability to pick a specific faction at the beginning of a game (even if just to reduce menu clutter) would be great. Really, CC could be a finished product with it’s current engine base; the physics have always been silly, and I can’t see them becoming less silly in the near future. It’s one of those bug-feature things, to some extent.

Then again, the prior history of CC suggests that Data is off on some mysterious codey hiatus, and who knows what may arrive. If he is getting tired of the project though, some general fit and finish type work would be nice, primarily just to make CC even better for dicking about with friends.

We shall see what we shall see is pretty much the only conclusion that can be drawn from the dev log right now, from my perspective.

I seriously think that Data should post more often even a:
“I’m working on stuff… Cortex Command stuff.”
would be enough for me though if Weasel wanted to post that that wouldn’t be enough because I wouldn’t believe it(Weasels are sneaky)

When I considered buying this game(after a very long time) I kept watching the devlog for signs of life and when there was a burst in updates indicating that the project is still alive only then I bought it.

“updates for christmas or anything”

Yeah, this is odd – but then will the crismas competition be over? Feb some time? so… They have to be back before that!
Kzerog - # January 18th, 2010 at 4:44 am
I bet things will get real fucked up if Weasel or Data don’t show up before the christmas mod competition deadline. Just to clarify: I know it’s normal that there are no updates.

1. It’s Cortex Command, we’ve seen this happen.
2.The game is not dead.
3.The fact that there’s a guy hired to update the devlog should mean more frequent updates.
4.But since he has to send the updates to Data first it makes the updating process just as long as before.
5.Result: annoyed fans, no solution to the update problem, worthless blogger.

That pretty much sums up things as they are now though i have some sympathy for Weasel. It must be really frustrating not being able to do his job. Data really isn’t a dream employer.

Well, “ATTACKOFFLAMINGPIGS”
If there was a CC competition of any sort, I’d establish from the start that only vanilla content is allowed.

Otherwise things would get personal, no doubts about it.
AttackOfFlamingPigs - # January 20th, 2010 at 7:28 am

Well yeah in order to have a proper competition you need good rules but that doesn’t mean that there can’t be any [insert mod name here] mod only competition.

@AIRBURST

Like this:

Name: Dummy Brawler Championship

This competition will be played on the Astro scene with only dummies and no weapons(for you). The goal of the game is to smash as many puny ronin soldiers as you can!

Rules:
-Only vanilla Cortex Command with Astro scene added(no tinkering you bastards!)
-You can only buy dummies (Nothing else no weapons,bombs,tools…)
-You can only use dropcrates(no rockets,dropships…)
-You can only buy 1 dummy/dropcrate at once
-Using/picking up weapons is forbidden
-Final kill count is your score (so if a bird comes and flies into a ronin soldier knocking it into another one and killing both ronins in the process that’s 2 kills for you etc.)

How to participate:
Record a video with you playing.
Breaking the rules may result in finger wagging and your video being deemed invalid.
Every participants last submitted video will be the one which gets scored.

Determining the winner:
1)By the most final kills
2)By less time taken
3)By less final losses
4)By Weasel’s pick(bribing is forbidden)

The winner is determined by 1) in case of a tie by 2) in case of a tie by 3) in case of a tie by 4)
Just to be clear.
——————————–

I imagined it like this… sort of and with the help of modders there can be ‘proper’ competition maps made for specific uses.
Tomaster - # January 21st, 2010 at 6:54 pm
The problem here would be strengthening the dummy or something. Not that detectable, and we would have to rely on people’s sense of integrity.

Have we ever taken the theory of data dieing seriously? Cause i reckon he’s dead. Not even a check up? Not even something like, “Hey sorry we haven’t given you updates at all on anything even in the smallest way on the devlog” comon’ Release some updates for the people who actually bought the game, just a littttllleee hint, that you’re not dead/zombie.

*Ahem*

May we -please- have a dev-log update regarding the progress of the latest build?
It can even just be art clips, or more teasers.
Or if you are stuck, or even if nothing has happened, that’s okay too.
We like your updates because they are informative, and some times funny too.

We, the fans, hope things are going well and appreciate your hard work. Keep it up!

Well he shouldn’t release an update when he doesn’t feel like releasing an update because if he does what he doesn’t feel like doing he will probably get depressed and commit suicide or worse he will use the devlog to express his emotions about how existence is pointless so making Cortex Command is pointless too.
While if he does what he likes doing(hopefully this includes working on CC) he will remain happy and while Data lives there’s always a hope of a new release or an update… or a Data with a big grin on his face swimming in the money which he got from CC.

Endahs - # January 31st, 2010 at 9:21 am
Okay, I have a theory of why Data or anyone else hasn’t been posting new updates. It goes a little something like this: Data has set up only one computer to be able to post new updates EXCEPT get this, its in a giant labyrinth made of heated glass suspended over an everlasting abyss that spirals into darkness.
Data can only access said computer by wearing the sacred suit of armor that has the 3000 digit password to the computer etched into it. Data must fast for 3 days before his journey with no food and very little water. He must complete his task perfectly or he will be unable to access the computer again. He also might die in the everlasting abyss that spirals into darkness. However andy has another identical computer with the same capabilities in his house but hes just a lazy douche.
