It's not a 100% final release or anything, heh. The bat thing is partly because I submitted the mod at like 4am in the morning for make something Unreal.

Even with installers, I end up extracting them manually and copying the files myself. For mods that is. But I do admit that the whole .bat file thing is a little too much, even though the rar file could of came with a premade bat file already, since there are only 2-3 different variations for most installations (steam or normal install) Personally I get more satisfaction extracting it myself than having an installer that installs doing things I have no clue about.

Someone remind me when there's a user friendly version 1.1 :) I like what I’ve seen so far, but having to jump through hoops to install it sounds like a bit of a turnoff.

I'll be able to reply in like 2 days. For others who've had that issue, it's because they didn't have patch 2.0, or alternatively, you're running it from the wrong direction. I should definitely try to fix some of these more minor issues when I have a couple of minutes around the place. Should start having more spare time soon. Please don't give up on the game over small issues just yet. It's a work in progress polish wise. Thanks. Send me an email. I’ll be able to reply in like 2 days.

I would like to put it back in there, but there were some issues when I tried to get it in, so I had to rip it out last minute. There are a couple of things that need to be fixed, and when I have time I would like to keep polishing it. It took a massive amount of time away from being able to get other things that I needed to do on a day to day basis. I certainly don't want it to just die. I'm aware that requiring UT3 is a huge hindrance, and I would like to change that as well. It doesn't make complete sense for me to have wanted to keep the game size so tiny so that people could download it... when it required an 8gb game and a high end PC. As for the art game tip, I'm not too concerned about what I call the game, and if I wanted people to not be scared of it, I would say that the game was a "cool geometry manipulation game with broken 4Dimensional space". But the intention was to express the game as being more than just it's mechanics, hence the addition of philosophy. The game could use polish, but at least with a released version right now, people can get a feel for the game, and provide feedback about what they think needs to be fixed the most to take it from being "interesting" to being "excellent".

Even with my quite high-end rig, I was getting alot of major fps drops. Also the fact that he had to cut off the music was pretty sad. We all learnt after Korsakovia that music can give a major boost to games. It’s really sad though, all these non-polished unfinished mods that were forced to be release for that UT3 Mod competition.

Like others here, I don't own UT3, but perhaps that might have to change. Colour me interested. Like others here, I don’t own UT3, but perhaps that might have to change.
