Sierra is stalling

by Matt Aufderheide · in Torque Game Engine · 07/11/2001 (2:49 am) · 16 replies

It's as plain as day..Sierra is stalling..they dont want the v-12 released. At this point one has to wonder if they will ever allow it to release. i am beginning to have my doubts..what does everyone else think?

I say you give Sierra a few more days :-). It's been this long so far.... it's got to be close!

I hate giving dates, I always regret it... so just let me say I am standing in the light at the end of the tunnel and the view is incredible!

Hang in there and don't go on vacation you might miss something. :)

Matt, sierra would be in a real law jam if they cut out of the deal this late

I have my credit card at the ready guys..:) Do I get a free t-shirt if I'm one of the first 10 V12 buyers?

Somthing like "Chicks dig my V12 technology." would be good......crickets chirping...Well it sounds like a good idea to me. :p

So Rick, when exactly should we make sure not to go on vacation? :-)

Has Sierra approved it yet?

nah, the shirt should read, "I have a V12 under my hood, yours looks all shaky." (sort of a pun/jab at the Quake engines ;)

Aaron, chicks don't need to dig your V12. We can buy our own. ;)

Software?! Behind schedule?!? No way!

The software isnt behing schedule. Sierra obviously doesnt want to approve it.

you people need to open your eyes, sierra already aproved it. Now the web site needs to be complete to be able to buy the thing.

and I have my own T-shirt design. There's two guys talking in the front:

guy1 - "did you see the V12?"
guy2 - "Holy crap! What kind of monster would have an engine like that?!"

and in the back it will say - "My game."

get it? relating a car motor V12 (12 pistons positioned in a V for maximum power) to the game engine

I was being sarcastic because the engine was approved.

Yeah, because Sierra would never back out of anything. Ever.

Well, Dreamcast Half-Life. And Space Quest 7. And the jobs of the Tribes 2 team.
