What stage of development is Halo: Contention currently in?

Don't tell me it's still in planning...

I hate to tell you this but we are an indie dev team, whom just started this project under two weeks ago and have been staying up countless hours to get work done.

I will not lie to you we are not far, but we are farther than the late BVG studios and others. So do not fret, but do not expect gameplay soon.

Thank you for being on these forums and I do hope that you understand.

Thanks for the heads up. So you don't even have a proof of concept running yet? Even snippets of engine code? Or is it still in a full planning stage?

We haven't started any engine work yet. Right now we are building models, textures, and environments. We are making decent progress though.

To be frank, I doubt you guys will see it through to the end. Very few do. But I am looking forward to it none the less.

If you guys do pull this off though, you will be the first people ever to make an independent, stand alone Halo first person shooter, and that alone is something alot of people will respect you for.

Everyone that has tried always ends up cancelling or shutting down.

Fierce games: Tried making a Halo game, ended up changing it to a standard shooter, then they shut down.

Clysmic Studios: Originally planned to make a Halo game, ended up turning into a game called "Internal Malfunction" or "Year 2388". Was around pre alpha-stage. Then one day they just shut down and cancelled the game.

BVG Studios: Tried making a Halo MMO, ended up shutting down due to lack of support and interest (Well so I heard).

I can name alot more but you get the point.

You misheard, welcome to what was the BVG community before the Revolution.

yeah i was gonna say do you think this guy knows that this was the bvg community and that these guys are the ex bvg dev team or do you think this gonna be news to him

I already know. I was just using it as an example.

so do you mean you have made much more progress than BVG had ever done ALREADY on a halo game? if so, i am impressed. but if you mean in terms of leadership, then i still salute you.

We will show something when we have something worth showing. There's no need to show off all our assets right now. I will say however that we are beginning to have quite the collection of models.

No, the reason you think that is most likely because they are much more forthcoming and communicate a lot more with the community correct?

Well, if i remember, some moderators said Justin is only one who had access to bvgforums(That made me think, that he is leader) And Noble seems to upload stuff to youtube, and yeah he communicate more with people, so those are reasons...

Ok.

I thought that I was the leader >:O
Why does no one ever think that I can lead things.
I lead a car into a ditch, that counts ^^

Yeah but on a serious note, we don't want a leader.
Cause with something like a Halo game, having all that power;
would drive a person mad.

We are just the loudest out of the group. If someone were to be the leader it wouldn't be me.

The only reason I have access to BVG is because I technically own the site. The new site will be designed by me, but that's mostly my job at the moment.
