Update status??

So I was reading a developers blog about HDTP, and I read

HDTP Status

// May 10th, 2009 // No Comments » // Usual

I’m pleased to say that Deus Ex HDTP is almost complete. DDL is helping to keep tabs of all the new work and making sure it gets tested and packaged up. The weapons are down to the last 4 left to texture (all modelling is done). I have personally textured the Flamethrower which I haven’t posted an image of yet so stand by for that one. I’ve also finished the ammo box textures. Erica is kindly picking up the crossbow and Dicky (from the Stellar mod) is doing an amazing job on the brand new Gray that Ben modelled a while back.

It seem's quite a long time just 4 textures left lol, I'm not rushing you guys because I rather it be done properly, but it's just that - over 1 year for just 4 textures? What are you guys up to? I thought just compiling etc was left, can you please just update to tell us what's going on, I FULLY trust you devs are continuing this project, just wondering though

Animating.

The weapon models are done, and for things like the 3rd person/pickup view, that's all you need, so those are already in. The problem is first person animations. Animating for DX is sloooooooooow and, quite frankly, way out of my skill league, so there are a limited number of people who can handle getting them done. And they're getting them done, but slowly.

oh thank god, I'm just soooo glad to hear a status update, thank you so much, you guys should actually publish the status more often to keep attracted people in

According to a user on Moddb, he claims that's Metche says there are only 9 more textures needing animating

Funny.

Well, since that was a couple of months ago I think we can safely assume that we're at 8 textures by now...

[EER]

Assumption is the mother of all fuckups, but ... I don't mind you assuming. I'll happily live on with my own assumptions.

[DDL]

don't confuse animated textures with animated models....the former is pretty trivial, the latter..less so.

[Hashi]

if only it was like the movies, with pretty graphics and a few simple clicks its all done. damn all this hard work that's taking ages

[Lucius DeBeers]

Thanks for the clarification.

Hm im visiting this forum once a year or something like that and it looks like they still at the same point...

Don't get me wrong they got real life too i think but still i never though it would take soo much time worst part is it might become duke nukem forever i just hope they will release it before or in same time like deus ex 3.

Well, it seems Duke Nukem is --finally-- going to be released, so don't lose hope
