Citadel - System Shock Fan Remake

[6740c18d778e3JosiahJack]

I'm beginning to think work doesn't want me to finish this.  Off on another world trip to help some poor people squirt melted plastic into a metal box properly.  Some days I feel like I'm the only one in our company who knows the least bit about injection processing.

Aaaanyways...wasn't able to bring a laptop so I'm dead in the water again.  Got some more bugs fixed yesterday at least so I'm getting closer to having a quality level I'm comfortable with releasing to playtesters.  Can't help but feel like I'm letting you all down a bit.

[6740c18d77aa9Kolya]

You don't. It's been awesome watching you build this so far and I'm sure you will finish it, (as far as these kind of things are ever finished). Take your time, we have lots of it here.

[6740c18d77bf8voodoo47]

we me might be a lot of things, but impatient is not one of them.

[6740c18d77e93Twist]

I think many of us have been quietly amazed at your consistent, steady progress. Please don't feel you're letting anyone down; I really don't think you are.

Like Kolya said, it's been awesome watching you build this out over the years.

Hire me and you'll have 2.

How's your Spanish?

Thanks for the kind words all.

[6740c18d7852bRocketMan]

Una cerveza por favor.

Quanto costo la chica?

Terible y no recuerta "donde es el bano?"


I set out to make THE remake, and so it will be.  Just taking much longer than I anticipated but quality first I suppose.

[6740c18d78798icemann]

Take all the time you need. We will be waiting. It's quite normal for remakes and mods to take huge amounts of time. Your not getting paid for it afterall.

AM2R took 10 years (then got DMCA'd within 2 weeks of releasing it). Fallout New California took 9 years I think. Though that was released incomplete. Quite the norm anyway to take a long time with it.

[6740c18d7892eJDoran]

Personally speaking, I wouldn't have the time to properly play it now even if you released it this moment  That's why I've not volunteered for the bet-testing, even though I would love to give it a play-through. Like you, I'm too busy with work and travelling. Actually, forget Citadel, can you instead work on a real-life teleporter, to save the time I waste actually travelling every day?

[6740c18d78ab7JML]

Same for me. I might have more time to play in like two years. So by all means, take your time.

[6740c18d78bc0JosiahJack]

Lol, you're the 2nd person this week to ask me to build a teleporter.  I hear ya though...I was in 2 airplanes a day for 9 out of the last 11 days so...ya, I'll add teleportation to the list, right after Citadel and antigravity.

[6740c18d78c9dKolya]

Just make sure no fly is in the teleportation chamber please.

[6740c18d78fcfJDoran]

The other person who asked you was a clone of me. Made from that cloning machine you invented next year, just before you invented the time machine and brought the cloning machine back to last month and cloned me.

Next week you also sent me all of your money, and of course you have to keep the loop running, or the universe will end. So send me all of your money next week, or you'll inadvertently destroy all of creation!

[6740c18d79154Kolya]

I think we'll take that chance.

[6740c18d792cdJosiahJack]

Doesn't sound like me...only way I'd give my money away would be if it were a clone of myself and he'd have to go through a brutal questioning.  Besides, I only know how to make a time machine that goes forward at regular time.  Ya, I'd definitely clone me...and send that poor sucker on all these business trips.

[6740c18d793d5Kolya]

Getting old. The poor man's time machine.

[6740c18d79510JosiahJack]

Oh, you have the same one I have!  Ya, it was free.

[6740c18d796d6JosiahJack]

Citadel long range sensors have detected major life event on collision course!  Severe project slowdown imminent!


My wife and I were matched with a mother who picked us through our adoption agency.  We met for the first time yesterday and she liked us and it seems very likely that everything will work out.  She is due in one month.  My wife and I could be first time parents in one month!
 Yay!


Engage hyper crunch time!!  Full throttle, wide open, all thrusters to max!

[6740c18d797d9Kolya]

Wow, that's awesome! It's also a lot to think about and prepare. Take your time for that.
I hope this works out for all of you.

[6740c18d798e1voodoo47]

makes me wonder how many lifetimes would I need to become a responsible adult/parent.

all of them, probably.

[6740c18d799dfJML]

Congratulations, and all the best to you!

[6740c18d79ab9JosiahJack]

Thanks guys!

Just imagine cleaning up shit on the boards as cleaning up a shitty diaper and you'll do fine.
