As everyone knows ArmA 2 has arrived and it is the future. The step from ArmA to ArmA 2 is much less than it was from OFP to ArmA, it means that its sort of stupid to edit anything for ArmA anymore as anyone in their right mind is moving to ArmA 2 and no new players will buy ArmA anymore. Its only matter of time until ArmA dies away. Even BIS has started to hammer nails into the coffin labeled ArmA with their ArmA 2 tools release policy which just simply gestapo style overwrites old ArmA tools.
Reference read: PMC ArmA 2 modding statement.
I want to finish up my ArmA projects so I can feel good about myself, the ArmA legacy of PMC and then move into ArmA 2 without looking back anymore. In many ways you could say that why bother with ArmA anymore, just move on... but no, it would haunt me always if I left the projects unfinished. I really want to make nice final releases so there is no second quessing in the future. I feel very good about OFP VTE v0.4 release which was done fully aware that it will be the last one for OFP, now I'm so happy and proud that I did that, I want to accomplish the same for ArmA.
This list is NO promise!
Yes, I don't want to give the impression that this list of projects will absolutely be accomplished... all I'm saying is that it is my wish to accomplish these, maybe I don't accomplish any of them... I don't want anyone to get false hopes and start waiting for some of these releases. Just take it easy and time will tell what happens. One more time; this is no promise of releases of any kind.
Want to help?
Well this is even more useless to say but naturally if someone is willing to help me with any of these projects, they are more than welcome. I would especially need help with texture editing as I need to tweak the existing shiny textures (SMDI files) and also bug reporting is important, I need to know what bugs are the most critical / annoying ones so I can focus to try to fix them first.
As usual nobody offers to help, but hey, welcome to my life...
And now... time to roll up my sleeves, fire up the editing tools and get to work. Sight... the amount of work I have ahead of me is demoralizing... just the way I like it!YEAH!
