While there are coders making small adjustments quite often, progress is very slow.
Apparently it was decided that the majority of the sounds needed to be replaced with more liberal licensed ones.
Now the current sounds in tremulous are by no means extraordinary, but lacking a 'sound guy' and the general slowness of this project, this is yet another very questionable decision.

The truth is that tremulous will probably be dead in a year or at most two. http://tremulous.net/graphs/unique-players.png
It's stuck in some kind of release fear, the current release is from 2006 and extremely buggy. You have to go through a lot of extra steps to get a decent (working) client.
This is a major turnoff for new players as nobody wants to invest a lot of time just to get a game they don't even know running.
At the same time consider this from a developer perspective. Do you want to make stuff for a game which has it's next release in 5+ years without any clear road map?

Summarizing tremulous is a great game and a lot of time has gone into making it that way. Unfortunately it's looking like the time we have left with it is limited unless something happens with the deciding entity very soon.

Unique players going down, player amount slowly up though (100 day MA).

Post by: Nux on March 22, 2011, 02:25:21 pm: Which is only because about 90 days ago it peaked and now it's quickly plummeted again. :/

EDIT: oh and the peak itself was just a break in fluctuation, not necessarily an increase in players. It could have been caused by people in the east playing the game while the west works/sleeps, but it's just as easily a holiday where players were staying up late or playing in the middle of the day where they wouldn't normally.

Wait.. ~90 days ago? That's Christmas/New Year! Duh.

It looks like around last August we lost 40 players from a continent which was probably not North America and in July a month before we lost about 25. If I'm gonna guess it would be that a bunch of people started work/school.

RE-EDIT: Anybody know what makes a unique player on that graph? Is it unique GUID for that day or completely unique or what? Something tells me we're not getting 2000 newcomers a day.

Post by: Pete on March 22, 2011, 06:37:14 pm: Are those stats for 1.1 only or do they include GPP?

Oh and the most popular Q3 servers (http://www.gametracker.com/search/q3/) are still Trem servers. That can't be too bad, eh?

Post by: GeneralScott on March 30, 2011, 05:47:14 pm: This game sucks because there's no reloading action like in Black Ops... I mean!! What the HECK is with the SHIT graphics!
I turned on the game, saw how bad it looked, quit immediately, and decided to inform the whole world what a shitty game it was.

But it is just because urban terror is listed as a separate game
