Plan for David "RM" Michael

by DavidRM · 06/25/2003 (9:17 am) · 67 comments

Paintball Net continues its slow march forward. Not much new to report, though.

In my book I stress the importance of persistence. You have to keep on moving forward, no matter how slow it seems, no matter how far away the end of the project seems to be. The only way you ever get anything done is to Just Keep Working On It. One step at a time, one foot after the other, until you cross the finish line. If you trip, you get back up and continue where you left off.

In independent game development, you only fail if you quit.

Ahh, 2 months without word, I can't sleep at night, haha. Dennis: I'm with ya buddy, good ol' 104002 ;). I think remembering my old username was hard enough, "jussghypwnfghf" hehe. Kinda ironic this is happenin on the Torque Engine, I just bought Tribes2 yesterday, I'm addicted. Can't wait to get more word.

Yep. It sure has been a while since the last plan. What's going on with the game here? It really would be nice to know.

Oh, and if any of you would remember, this is Pop n Fresh from PBN. Heh

I don't know if this has been asked before, but what is the plan for clients on other platforms. I would very much like to see a mac and or linux client, especially since you are using Torque ;-), not doing so would be silly. Need a machine to build it on (mac or linux) I'd glady donate some cpu time.

Why dont we just throw up old PBN on a server, im not even excited about this anymore. I dont know whats going on but.. if you really want to make money, or have a good player base, just go back to what was working, the 2-D PBN, people would pick it up instantly, i dont really believe it ever needed any improvement, lord knows i loved it.

I'm still excited. PBN owned... I played PBN before I started playing Counter-Strike and other various First Person Shooters. I have become tired of them all, but I would still play PBN if it was still around. Get this thing running already!

Styxx here - I can't believe it's finally coming back! One question, kinda off topic: Will we be able to keep our old levels? I mean, lvl 40 had it's price! ;)

The old PBN is still being talked about a lot. All the new 'clones' and what not are ok, but none even compare to PBN. Everybody would love to see the old PBN brought back. We have no idea how much progress David making. Maybe the new PBN 2 should be scrapped, and the old PBN brought back. Everybody would love it. It'd be like the feeling you get on Christmas morning when you're 7 years old or something. =) I think he'd make a killing.

And Yet another old player making a comment.
The days pass... with just the thought left in the mind of players.
Well, all the best on the dev project and such.
And soon to be yet another Merry Christmas.

-See YA!

Wow, it's so great to see so many old names here. :)

Been a rough road that brings me here to this forum, and am incredibly pleased to see the community alive and in good spirits. :)

Looking forward to seeing you all in PBN again! :)

First of all, merry X-mas to all of you!

Second, they are still working on the game, just very very very very very slowly.

3th, lets all bump RM to put up a new update when ya talk to him.

4th, PBN1 prolly won't ever run again, regardless of how much we all would love it!
I begged RM for it lots of times :P
Maybe I'll try again soon :)

Wuts up guys. I don't know if any of you remember me but its me the original cArTmAn - (ID:65254). I hope all you guys have an awesome New Years and I am glad to recognize so many names from PBNet that brings back memories of the good old splatting times. I read all the reviews and since its been 6 months since the last one i decided to log in and put in some words. My favourite game ever was PBN1 and I can't wait till PBN2 comes back even though i would be more than happy with the return of the original PBNet. I tried HVPB and its just not the same... I barely recognize any names on there and I just dont get the same feeling when I play it. I hope the new PBN2 comes out soon and David please post a next update for all us eager paintballers. Anyways this is gettin too long so im out guys.
