Just to set the record straight.... TGC is NOT devoting their time on these model packs. They're being created by other and then being sold by TGC. TGC is devoting their time on creating updates, but seeing and knowing that allmost all user efforts did shatter, creating an uodate for FPSC doesn't seem to be an easy task at all. But in due time we will see an update, in the meantime let's be happy with what we've got.
On the other hand why would TGC want to release an update anyway? Hardly anyone is using FPSC for anything serious at all. They're seem to be many customers, but there seem to be little users. Instead of everyone complaining, let's start creating games with FPSC to show TGC that it's worthwhile to create an update of FPSC, since there are many users around.
Don't get me wrong, I DO WANT AN UPDATE FOR FPSC also and as soon as possible. But with TGC it doesn't seem to help to complain ovr and over again. I do own other game engines and 3d applications also and some of the other companies are just great when it comes to customer releationships andd updates. A few of them even take personal requests and they will implement them into the engine/application within a couple of weeks.... for free! I do love that and it makes me a loyal customer. I've been using their software for many years and even though there are alternatives around, I'm not going to switch in a million years.
With TGC that's different. To be honest, if someone else creates something like FPSC, but with more features and less bugs, I'm out of here, regardless of my investment into FPSC. I'm not a loyal customer and TGC doesn't create the atmosphere for that to happen for FPSC users. With most of the other 3D related apps I do use, I know some of the designers/managment personal (even after using it for only half a year), but with TGC I always get the feeling they want to keep their distance from FPSC users.
So be it, I'm not happy with it, but so be it. I'm not going to waste sleepless nights or numerous complaints about it. If that's the way it is, then that's they way it is. But if TGC is looking for loyal FPSC customers then my advice would be really to change the attitude towards us. Perhaps the attitude isn't intended at all, but most of us do clearly feel it..... we've bought FPSC, but that's it, that seems to be the end of the story. To make FPSC really successful, imo TGC should work on creating a good and loyal user base and put effort into to that and not avoid us so much as they do..... and give us some crumbs at times to keep us happy.
Well enough said, back to working on my latest game. No it's not being done with FPSC, to continue my work with FPSC, I do need the character pack.
