They are racing Manshooter over who will release first

Damn, 4096x4096 per ship? You guys found any hard memory issues yet?

It'll be released when it's ready. The less we pester them, the sooner they will finish.

Ditto to this! ^

Let them work in peace!

JEP, I fully agree with you.

I am happy that there are good mods available. 

For example your (Requiem) and ZombiesRus5 (Sins of the Fallen) mods are awesome.

Thus, I don't care when other mods will be released. In particular Dawn of victory because I waited to long.

I won't be impolite. But I share the opinion of GoaFan, that Dawn of victory will never be released.
I appreciative the effort of every modder. I like mods very much, because some improves the game dramatically.
I am only a little disappointed after I watched this topic over years.

The amount of disrespect in this thread is offensive.

Let’s not go overboard here, nothing said here is really new or unexpected, in fact it's a lot more polite then most of the criticism we receive. 

We started this project in 2006, but it’s not really reasonable to call that the “mod start date” anymore as literally everything has changed since then. DoV in its current state really began in 2008 when we scrapped all our then-made assets and had a detailed discussion of what we wanted to do.  

I think it’s fair though to point out that it’s been a long time, and I’m not surprised some people think this mod will never come out and I don’t really care when people express doubt over the fate of this project.

What does bother me though is the sense of entitlement some people have, if DoV was cancelled tomorrow, nobody besides those of us who have worked on the project would have lost anything of consequence. We don’t ask for donations, we are not charging for alpha access or anything else, we wouldn’t owe anyone so much as an apology if we cancelled DoV.

As depressed as any fan or follower of this project may be, I can assure you that nobody wants Dawn of Victory released more than me and the people on our team. We did not put in thousands of hours of effort into this project on a whim.

More than anything I want to see Dawn of Victory released and I really do mean that. It’s become such a big part of my life and I’m so thankful to everyone who put in their time and energy into this thing. When we do finish it, I can assure you the very next day we will be planning out next effort as I can’t imagine a life that didn’t include working with those people on something, anything.

What I will never do though is release anything that doesn’t meet the standards set by Dawn of Victory. That’s why you don’t see untextured models, that’s why you don’t see works in progress and that’s why you don’t see an open alpha or beta. 

When me, and those of us on the project all agree it's ready to release, that will be the release day.

tldr: It's me, I was Danman all along. 

While I don't want to derail this thread, I want to address this point. From 1.0 to 2.0 you had a complete shift in mod staff. To be blunt, the people who worked on 1.0 and earlier simply do not have the time to work on the mod anymore. I came onto SoGE a little over a year before 2.0's release; that was when the changes really kicked into high gear. Before then, the project was virtually abandoned for months. We were also without a modeler until mid December; the models being used were purely what was current in the beta and whatever I could convert from various EaW mods.

Anyways, to those who complain and bemoan the lack of a release and such, seriously just stop. The DoV team has put in a helluva lot of time and effort into their mod, they are determined to get things done, and done the way they want it to be. If a release was rushed out of the door today, would it meet the standard of quality that people so eagerly await? The answer to that question is why such a thing isn't happening.

tl;dr: Kudos to you and the rest of the team Swiss Knight and keep up the good fi- err... I mean modding.

Since im not a modder I dont know the details of modding, however speaking for us "player only" types I think the frustration you hear is due to the years its taking to finish the mod.  That if anything should speak to how excited people are for the mod. 

I just dont want to find us playing SoSE Rebellion V5 before we ever see this mod.

I was sad to see this thread so far back in the forum... so I am bumping it for sins noobs to see.
