yeah I understand man.
Well if you decide to get beta testing up again I am avalible.
Hi Shaun,
The idea of being a team within X-Sight basically fizzled out. Those
application forms and policy documents were obviously just a feeble
attempt on my part to bring some form of order into the world of a
rather uncontrollable environment. It was generally hard to pass
content around, especially source code revisions, and since the host
moves and college days I just haven't had time to set up private
mailing lists and monitor the progress of things. However, as it was
nobody was active on the team back in the day anyway.
As is, I have much more free time now, and with the recent
introduction of Dropbox things have gotten slightly easier. However
there is only really you who have expressed an interest to continue,
and from what I can remember you were not really familiar with my programming.
I'll have to consider for some time as to whether I will restart
with a team environment, since it isn't easy to determine who is
going to do what and when, or even if, they will have the work done.
As you know most of the people in the team were not producing
anything and therefore what was the point in being there, just to
say they are in a software development team?
I will also have to think about the privacy and security of my
products, since I don't want a repeat performance where privileged
material is being leaked out on the internet. If I am going to start
having multiple people involved with the development and testing of
my products, it will be a select few who have helped and supported
me over the years to get to where I am now or who I know I can trust.
I'm not sure who leaked my betas out and I couldn't really do
anything much if I did, and it's twice that it has happened and
therefore I hope you'll understand why I am put off and am now
putting up my guard, as it were.
Regards,
Damien.

Hi Shane,
I regret to inform you that the Chopper Challenge game is no
longer supported. When we had a few coders over at X-Sight, the
code wasn't being synchronised and managed in a controlled manner,
causing bugs to crop up here and there where we thought they had
previously been fixed. As a result, the coding for Chopper
Challenge was more or less completed by one guy with very little
input from me. Now he has left I am left with a very buggy source
code which I find I can't fix because it is very messy and not
commented. Even the segments of code which were mine I was very
shocked upon reading it and trying to wade my way through it. This
was a project back from the mid 2000's, and I thought it was a bit
past its time.
If there is popular demand for it then I may consider rewriting
it. However, for now, consider Chopper Challenge abandonware.
I think now is a good time to say that, unfortunately, Acefire
will end up the same way, for the same reasons. For the sort of
games I am working on currently, Acefire now seems like a very
basic project, almost a beginner's work. A few concepts here and
there that made it look advanced, but again, the code is very
messy and I have had several bugs reported to me that I cannot
find their source.
I am currently working on a title which should hopefully keep you
on the edge of your seats clinging on for dear life, that's all
I'll say for now. Watch out for trailers and other snippets as the
game becomes more formed. Also I am working on updating River
Raiders, so if you have any suggestions, now's the time to book
them through. Grin.
If anyone has any questions, you all know where to find me.
Lastly, for anyone who doesn't yet know. I've set up a discussion
forum at X-Sight where you can discuss things. I'll be posting
updates and content on there and I'll be taking my blog down soon.
It is much easier to interact with a community base through a
forum than a blog, in my opinion.
Regards,
Damien.

Hey guys,
I sent this email a few days ago and got no response. I didn't
even get a copy of it myself and I have been having problems
with my mailbox, so I'm not even sure if it came through on your end.
I am having a couple problems with the RSGames Client when
accessing some property related menus in Monopoly.
The problem mainly occurs when I can't afford a property and it
asks me to manage my assets to pay off the owed money. When I
mortgage my properties it says invalid choice and the menus
start nesting each other. I have tried doing an admin chat and
have also attempted to contact Ryan via both email and MSN and
have received no response.
Sometimes the menus will say invalid choice even when I am
manually going into the management menus.
Also a couple of minor bugs in that the client is saying invalid
choice after sounds have downloaded, and also the British
monopoly board sometimes switches between pounds and dollars.
I redownloaded the client about a week ago just to make sure I
wasn't missing any updates, and it was still happening. Bearing
in mind this has now been going on since the end of last year.
Is there a fix for this or is it being worked on? Is it a server
or a client issue?
Thanks.
Regards,
Damien.
