We could be nice Exeat, but I believe that often around here we're too nice when 'reviewing' peoples work. How about we give our honest opinion about a 40mb download that many modem users would be interest in.
Taking it out of their perspective and into our perspective as DB programmers I think it's important that our 56k modem users know that the download
probably isn't worthwhile for them - although as I said myself the building textures are generally quite good, I just wouldn't use the ground textures.
So, shall we commend the next 40mb alpha demo of an untextured moving cube with rotational errors to appear in our program announcements section because it's one of the few not to have a shareware upgrade?
Or shall we say this needs some work, you should consider doing x/y/z... what i'm describing of course is the unwritten between the lines bad review that politely helps the authors of less developed releases and at the same time sends a clear warning signal to potential downloaders who might have to wait an hour for something that isn't worth their while.
With this team however, what's the point of being polite - they arn't around here.
Perhaps you'd suggest if I gave such things away for free myself then i'd have a right to comment - in which case I urge you to check my webpage where you can downloads games, utililties, and models.
