Before we get started, how is Neocron?
Neocron 1 has been canceled some time ago. Neocron 2 is still online and is becoming more and more popular and often old player come back to play a bit Neocron. For many player Neocron is the 'first love'. We see this the same way. Out heart is still in Neocron.
Sometimes we come across negative comments in the web, amongst other things that we have “patched Neocron down”. This might be right or wrong, but it shows us that Neocron is well known. Against the speculation that the project was a flop, it has brought in its budget 4 times. Of course there were mistakes in the development, but it was a new area for us at this time.
And this was noted at the end
How will Reakktor continue? What will be after the release? Are there any new and secret projects?
At this moment the team is completely focused on the development of Black Prophecy. We cant tell you a release date, because this has to be done in close cooperation with our future publisher. After the release the development of Black Prophecy will continue. This is the nature of an MMO. The work will continue with addons and patches.
Of course we are evaluating future projects and are looking out for possible partners to realize them. One of them could be a new MMO based on our classic Neocron. We will see.
Hi Kirk,
there are some of the old team of voluntary helpers (which did , and presumably still do, a big job and spending literally hundreds of hours to improve the game in many ways. Getting as only -positive- reward a lifetime account and their names on the nc box). Still only a handfull really did coding the missions or coding game code.
I think many would come back and help, but only if some things change.
From my experience then, 2 of 3 main problems which led to me and others leaving:
Ideas and even fully written updates or completed models were not implemented due to lack of time and lack of commitment! Beeing creative and doing more than the the given work was not rewarded, even punished.
Giving higher rights to decide internal game logic and coding freedom to a bigger part of the voluntary members of the team was not an option, even after signing the NDA.
- not to be discussed -
so even now i still would try to help again and i don't expect you to answer the nice summarized questions the community asked you. In fact i don't expect to get an answer or comment to this post either... but maybe something changed so i try.
The only questions for you (answer them to you, if you get them right everybody will soon notice a change -or a working update :D -) to get this game going further are:
Do you have the staff resources to get and pay a good, experienced and committed team of 1 coder, 1 gfx man and 1 dev team organizer ?
There must be somebody at KK doing this, since organizing the work properly is important when working with a community. If no - another option is to make it open source or at least put it for sale.
Do you change your rules to allow voluntary devs getting documentations and coding game code ?
There are certain levels here but the now important stuff is not upgrading the engine or net code (that would be better done in nc3) i mean:
coding game logic, building zones and models, coding the xls and lua for the missions (aka content) etc.

I believe the massive dot damage was the "fix" against drones being to powerful, they also massively lowered drone resists and how much exp is gained per shot. Ages ago
Also as far as fences go they dont seem to stop determined players.

In my opinion your posting sounds very professional and this is a serious matter.
I hope kk does it right this time.
Thank you for all your efforts.

I often find myself thinking "oh wait, Neocron had that already" when wanting functionality and features in an sci-fi MMO.
We talked about this in TGM and if they would fix the exploits, possibly some of the biggest gripes and the game got a couple of hundred active players you would probably see us in game again.
There is simply nothing else. Earthrise is screwed up, which currently is the sole possible substitute.
Wow, it's been ten years since I first registered on these forums to discuss this new exciting game called Neocron.
There is still no other game that can match it, I have tried to find one but they can just not replicate it.
I still hold out hope that one day I will get an e-mail about Neocron returning to popularity of even that an NC3 or "new version same concept" game arises. Because, despite what anyone says, Neocron has the best damn concept and the best damn potential of any game.
Good luck Kirk, I hope you can achieve this, if you do, drop me a message and I will join the queue to come back. Perhaps after BP you can start all over again with Neocron and make it what it should of been first time round.
