IGF Finalists Announced
Posted by Data in Cortex Command - December 3rd, 2007
Dianetics reader

The IGF finalists have been announced. Congrats to all the nominees, especially our friends at 2D boy with their fantastic looking World of Goo entry!

Cortex Command was in the running again this year, but unfortunately didn’t make it. Perhaps next year when there should to be a full campaign and more polish — we’ll certainly try yet again. In the mean time, let’s see if sales of the upcoming commercial versions can keep the full-time development going…

    well too bad data and cc team, hope you make it next time, also when will the game be out, 5-6days?
    woohoo 1st post

  2. RESOLUT - # December 3rd, 2007 at 11:04 am

    2nd :/

  3. numgun - # December 3rd, 2007 at 11:10 am

    Oh this is BS, lets pay them a VISIT. *Reloads shotgun*

  4. AGENT15 - # December 3rd, 2007 at 11:15 am

    I say this not as a Cortex Command fan, but as a video gamer.

    Wtf? Worlds of goo deserves to be on there, but Cortex Command definately should have been a finalist too.

    God damn.

  5. Seraph - # December 3rd, 2007 at 11:19 am

    Bad call I say, but then again build 19 may well have made the final. Bad timing for the IGF submission date perhaps?

  6. Fippe - # December 3rd, 2007 at 11:20 am

    Yeah. CC should have been one of finalists… But better luck next year, DATA!

  7. Flame - # December 3rd, 2007 at 11:22 am

    AGENT15, i dont understand ‘world or goo’ like the concept, also tri-achnid is another good game but cc should be up there too, data do ya know why cc’s not on the list?

  8. Data - # December 3rd, 2007 at 11:27 am

    Flame: Eventually we’ll get some feedback from the judges compiled in an email, along with some score stats.

  9. XDevil - # December 3rd, 2007 at 11:27 am

    lol… NO NEW BUILD… -_-

  10. brinlarden - # December 3rd, 2007 at 11:44 am

    meh thats gay
    cc should have been on the list.
    ohwell next year you will win :D

  11. Flame - # December 3rd, 2007 at 11:59 am

    we goin for duh silver medal!

  12. PointlessSoldeir - # December 3rd, 2007 at 12:01 pm

    We can all agree as fans of CC that the gameplay is solid and deserving of recognition. However, the IGF judges are looking for a finished, marketable product- Like Data said, we just need more polish and game content. It’ll get its day in the spotlight, I’m sure of it. Yeah, the game lords can be fickle. Just look at Duke Nukem Forever! However, CC isn’t motivated by greed and vaporware-ish claims. It’s gaming love, man. gaming LOVE.

  13. joemikkel - # December 3rd, 2007 at 12:05 pm

    That is very lame. However, I can see that the competition this year was tough; next year should be way better tho. I also really hope that enough people buy the game; I’d prolly buy multiple keys if I wasn’t so poor after buying Christmas presents.

  14. Afroded - # December 3rd, 2007 at 12:17 pm

    I can’t wait till the new build comes out, should be awesome! (or do we have to buy the very next one? *sighs*)

  15. gsm - # December 3rd, 2007 at 12:49 pm

    This seems a bit of a low blow. Were the judges too impatient for the physics? Terrified of the idea of walking being based off the movement of feet, and not on pre-animated loops and unrealistic speeds? Upset by rational damage models for flying into a wall at high speed? CC is an action game, yes, but it’s an action game that requires a measure of patience.

  16. Sheezy - # December 3rd, 2007 at 12:58 pm

    I say we send a crobo “peace force” to the judges of IGF :D

  17. Flame - # December 3rd, 2007 at 1:04 pm

    heer-heer

  18. KarvaBopi - # December 3rd, 2007 at 1:11 pm

    Well, too bad. Maybe better luck next time

  19. christopher - # December 3rd, 2007 at 1:35 pm

    WHAT!?! WHY NOT?:(:(:(

  20. robolee - # December 3rd, 2007 at 2:12 pm

    I say honestly that the other games are shiii-ocking, Fez, World of goo,Gumboy Tournament, Goo! and Crayon Physics Deluxe are the only one’s that deserve it.

  21. Control - # December 3rd, 2007 at 2:27 pm

    Aw well.

    Next year for sure, though.

  22. DiviX - # December 3rd, 2007 at 2:47 pm

    I cant believe cc didnt win! Hope next year cc will blow them away. good luck data!

  23. Matthew - # December 3rd, 2007 at 2:51 pm

    It happens every year: There are some awesome games entered into the IGF that don’t make finalist. Finalists are the top 5 in each category, and sometimes really great titles end up in #6, or #7…

    I can say that CC was very close to being a finalist, and although I personally wish it made it, it always comes down to the judges’ scores.

    Here’s hoping that CC is in full commercial release by next year’s deadline! :P

  24. tison345 - # December 3rd, 2007 at 3:00 pm

    Good luck and congratulations for at least trying

  25. Dj Demetrius - # December 3rd, 2007 at 3:12 pm

    Hmmm, how come the judges got a new car? One that says “world of goo” on the side? Nah, jk. GLHF w/ CC, DATA.

  26. Droon - # December 3rd, 2007 at 3:15 pm

    WHAT THE HELL WAS THAT (thisisjustmyopinion) but why would that game win, i mean ……. i watched the games trailer.. .What the hell do u even do in it..just connecting goo?

  27. L7D - # December 3rd, 2007 at 4:35 pm

    everything happens for a reason. I bet next year it will be top of the top, even though the winners didn’t seem that great.

  28. Prom - # December 3rd, 2007 at 4:48 pm

    CC is in its current state a bit like… getting a LEGO kit without a building instruction. Half of the people I’ve shown it to are just confused what to do. The other half starts playing around in ways they’re “not supposed to”. I think the latter is our demographic.

  29. Thundermaker - # December 3rd, 2007 at 4:57 pm

    Cortex Command rules! You can take our IGF award, but you can’t take our CC!!!
    C’mon, we all know clearly, that CC is far better, than every game on IGF. Just keep on going!

  30. coilgunner - # December 3rd, 2007 at 5:06 pm

    thats too bad, Well next time you’ll get in for sure!

  31. Chineseboy14 - # December 3rd, 2007 at 6:22 pm

    Better Luck next time :-/

    I’ve had this question for a while, in B19, will there be

    Brain vs Brain vs Brain?
    AI vs Brain vs Brain?
    AI vs AI vs Brain?

    etc for four players.

  32. Miles_t3h_r4t - # December 3rd, 2007 at 7:37 pm

    HOW!?!?!?
    Worlds of goo is CRAP! its…. its a CLICKY GAME!
    its… its like Bejeweled! or Majong!
    WoG, is something you do when your BORED,
    CC is actually a GOOD GAME! something you could set time aside for!

    i am quite shocked!

  33. AGENT15 - # December 3rd, 2007 at 7:43 pm

    Miles, shut up. World of goo is an ambitious and creative project. Just because you don’t like it doesn’t mean it sucks shit.

    Okay, we all know it’s crap that Cortex Command isn’t a finalist. We don’t need to make more than 30 posts saying how gay IGF is, calm down.

  34. Tomaster - # December 3rd, 2007 at 7:47 pm

    Agent15 has a point, whining over what has already happened might make you feel good, but it will do nothing, just shut up, and wait for next year.

  35. Flame - # December 3rd, 2007 at 8:14 pm

    this is were my phrase comes in

    “But Ghostmas is about love!”

    but oh well who asked my anyways so just be happy that cc is a REAL game, and just remember mustered loves ya!

  36. Neoseeker - # December 3rd, 2007 at 8:31 pm

    I mean come on, a mini game over the game that practically reinvents awesome sidescroller shooters.

    It’s like choosing a new kind of candy over something that could cure world hunger.

  37. durza - # December 3rd, 2007 at 9:02 pm

    Ooh ooh, I want the candy!

  38. Flame - # December 3rd, 2007 at 9:55 pm

    na i chose the turtle! it be off the shizzle just like CC

    watch blockhead!

  39. Jakkar - # December 3rd, 2007 at 10:44 pm

    No surprise, I’d be playing Cortex Command for singleplayer/internet multiplayer, neither of which are available.

    Well made, clever and original, but still a toy, not a game, in it’s current state.

    I wish you luck for next year, but if CC is all it promises to be by then, I don’t think you’ll need it.

  40. Carp - # December 3rd, 2007 at 10:48 pm

    Bah, Humbug!
    Start crossing fingers for nest year.
    And think of it this way: Data’s getting a critique from the judges, who(presumably) know their shit. That’s pretty cool.

  41. Foa - # December 3rd, 2007 at 11:48 pm

    Meh, this’ll happen to the fans of other games too…

  42. ORKUS87 - # December 4th, 2007 at 12:37 am

    Sad. Won’t stop me from buying the game. Here’s to next year!

    FOA: Very true.
    Matthew: Are you part of IGF by any chance?

  43. Kallemort - # December 4th, 2007 at 5:07 am

    Too bad…
    Better luck next year!
    P.S: Will you post the e-mail when they send you it?
    Or even tell the score?

  44. whitty2 - # December 4th, 2007 at 7:41 am

    WTF IS DIS?????? CC SHOULDA WON!!! all those other games are like little 2-year-old pick up and play and beat in 20 minutes games! i mean really, how long did they even play CC before judging it?

  45. What - # December 4th, 2007 at 7:46 am

    Please excuse me, I need to go stab someone.

    In the throat.

  46. Blob - # December 4th, 2007 at 7:59 am

    Agree with post 33

  47. dudeman - # December 4th, 2007 at 9:29 am

    well there is no new build still

  48. ANONYMOUS - # December 4th, 2007 at 9:30 am

    BULL HONKEY!

  49. meloen - # December 4th, 2007 at 9:51 am

    indeed, cortex command COULD have won. but it is still that you like it, or don’t.
    and I DO think it’s for a younger audience then the other games. (its 2d and pixeld grafics)
    also, you need to play cortex command longer to really understand it. most people I tried to convince to play CC didn’t like it, only because it was to difficult.
    young audience and difficult to learn doesn’t compare.
    (should make it easy to learn, hard to master)
    ps: it isn’t even a game yet

  50. Tobeh - # December 4th, 2007 at 10:09 am

    younger audience meloen? Both games are 2d and CC has far more varied gameplay. I hope gameplay doesn’t get drowned out by browness. Ah well data, next time :0

  51. PointlessSoldier - # December 4th, 2007 at 1:26 pm

    Hey Meloen- I don’t think it’s meant for a younger audience, but a older one. CC requires great patience. The first things I heard form my friends when I showed them CC were, “Why is he walking so slow?” and, “WTF? Why’d I just die?” However, everything else you said is totally spot on. Everyone I’ve shown it to has had the reaction you’ve described, and it’s not really a “game” yet, just a physics sandbox. It’s the fluff and polish that’ll make it as infective as World of WarCrack.

  52. Flame - # December 4th, 2007 at 1:47 pm

    with post 49- when i 1st played.

    the easy was f-in hard, but now death is EASY so if you want to have fun with cc then play for about 2 weeks, right?

  53. -B- - # December 4th, 2007 at 2:01 pm

    Too bad, I really hoped CC could make it. There is quality games too, but CC should really be in top 5.

    But no worries, next year will come and then it won’t be only finalist, it will win ;)

    And release commercial version soon, I’m eager to buy it! And I love the pricing model, it is same that Taleworlds used on Mount & Blade. Long time fans get a great chance to support development!

    And maybe your pricing could use a little “marketing” trick like this: “Support development with the price you want!” and give that some minimum fee like 10 bucks. Just a thought, but maybe it makes it easy for real fans to give a little extra.

  54. DeMo - # December 4th, 2007 at 2:33 pm

    That game called Goo! (not World Of Goo) is a clone of an old game called Liquid War, it shouldn’t win.

  55. meloen - # December 4th, 2007 at 2:49 pm

    @pointlesssoldier:
    from what I know are older people thinking: why should I be patient whit this 2d pixel game, while I can play “good graphic” games without having to be patient and having direct good action. and most likely young people don’t have those games, because its to expensive (or they don’t have a good computer to play it)
    i started playing CC when I was 13 (I think) the version of cortex command was then: “2 bases 2 persons 1 rocket no choosing what to do etc”. that was easy to play, but now its a sandbox with no control explanation…

    the game gets good when you know how to mod.

    @flame: that’s because you can now place the bunker underground, in early versions it was really hard to stay alive against those enemies (its now just a sandbox)

    but this all will change very soon I hope

  56. Foogooman - # December 4th, 2007 at 3:04 pm

    It’s been almost 5 days! Where’s mah Cortex Command?

    Only two days left.

  57. TheKnife - # December 4th, 2007 at 3:32 pm

    @Flame:
    It may have something to do with the AI digging through concrete in

  58. Predator King (GMI) - # December 4th, 2007 at 3:52 pm

    @Prom
    Then the first half must have been retards.

    @Meloen
    Yes, a game FILLED with blood and gore MUST have been designed for TWO YEAR OLDS. And about the difficulty, look at my first quote, only replace the “first half” with you.

    @TheKnife
    Agreed, nowadays, all thanks to melee weapons, I have to put my base meters below ground level if I want even a slight chance to survive.

  59. Pieman280 - # December 4th, 2007 at 4:16 pm

    I think CC has a medium type of difficulty. I think easy is easy, medium & hard should be considered standard, and Death is for endless swarms of enemies covering the map in no time but it’s not really that hard as most people make it out to be.

    when I showed my friends CC, well….. lets face it, they were complete noobs, but they loved that game.

    and data…. we can test the game for you :)

  60. Splatterpope - # December 4th, 2007 at 4:52 pm

    @Demo: Yeah, I’ve been spreading that everywhere I can too. Annoys me when everyone says “Oh wow, what an original concept!” When I’ve been playing Liquid War for near on 10 years.

  61. robolee - # December 4th, 2007 at 5:15 pm

    when I first played on cc, I played on death… EASY!, so what, you get shot up, but that doesn’t make it HARD now does it, it just means that you have to make a few sacrifices.

    ALL of my friends who I have played with didn’t find it hard either, infact they get the hang of it straight away, it’s not hard guys, just aim and click, so hard a monkey could probably do it and that is no exaggeration, seriously to be honest O’s and X’s is harder you require logic to play that, but this is look, aim, click

    THE WHOLE POINT IS THAT YOU DO DIE, otherwise it would be no fun.

    massive MMORPG’s are a LOT harder than this, you have to learn a new interface, which may require a couple of hours to get used to.

    WHY THE HELL ARE YOU HERE IF YOU DON’T LIKE 2D PIXEL GAMES, seriously WTF, usually 2d games are a lot more fun and appeal to a wide range of ages, and the music is usually pleasing, if on a fun hyper level or a retro level, AND I’M ONLY 15

    IMO a 2d game is better then an average 3d game, with seeing through walls, crud textures , and the dodgy game aspects etc. I would rather play CC than anything remotely like this:

  62. Jox - # December 4th, 2007 at 6:01 pm

    Those guys can’t see a good game… but come on Data, I want the freaking price to prepare the sending =D

    and the freaking game

  63. stepanovgog - # December 4th, 2007 at 7:09 pm

    Пожалуйста сделайте эту версию игры бесплатную для скачевания
    please can version games doynload

  64. PointlessSoldier - # December 4th, 2007 at 7:23 pm

    LMFAO Robolee— you managed to find the worst 3d games ever made, except for the Vavoom engine revamp of doom. The first game looks absolutely horrible! We owe you recognition for your public service of wading through crappy games.

  65. Minorkos - # December 5th, 2007 at 5:59 am

    LOSERS

  66. robolee - # December 5th, 2007 at 9:50 am

    @# PointlessSoldier
    no, I merely searched for “3d game” so stfu, maybe I took say 5 mins… max

  67. brinlarden - # December 5th, 2007 at 10:08 am

    yeh robolee why didnt you just search stuff like half life or halo?
    anyway DATA WE NEED AN UPDATE ABOUT GAME PLZ
    thanks.

  68. lazyfaith - # December 5th, 2007 at 11:10 am

    Shame you didn’t win… Oh well. Im gonna try out that goo game :)

  69. Cosmin - # December 5th, 2007 at 11:13 am

    THE PRESSURE… TOO BIG… WAIT… LONG… NEEd… INfO… GAme…Pls… need… play… *cough*

  70. Sheezy - # December 5th, 2007 at 11:16 am

    One day…

    Hopefully..

    If the horribly delay monster doesnt eat the game.

  71. meloen - # December 5th, 2007 at 11:55 am

    @robolee: you actualy searched for 3d game?
    try searching for crysis, and you will think diffrent about 3d games.

  72. Data - # December 5th, 2007 at 12:27 pm

    Stepanovgog: Такая версия обязательно будет

  73. Cosmin - # December 5th, 2007 at 12:53 pm

    since we’Re talking about 3D games… well, Crysis is maybe a notch too big for my PC, but has any of your guys played Half Life Episode 2? I am soooo impressed of the caves in the game and the graphic itself. Well not to mention of the game itself, which has like…the best physics engine ever. Dunno why, but it’s been long since i’Ve enjoyed a 3D game this much… maybe ever since FarCry.

  74. Tendrop - # December 5th, 2007 at 3:15 pm

    Data, 2 days left for testing…

  75. Pieman280 - # December 5th, 2007 at 3:57 pm

    Can someone translate what data just said?

  76. dudeman - # December 5th, 2007 at 4:01 pm

    75: he said “penis penis penis penis” now gb2/bed

  77. brinlarden - # December 5th, 2007 at 4:07 pm

    he said make next version free and according to google data said ‘This version will necessarily’
    so erm….lol
    anyway im hoping itll be out on the weekend…?
    BUT im guessing itll be set back because thats what always happens to games D: ohwell ill wait :D
    what we want data pre release is
    1. a list of all the features and changes in the upcoming build.
    2. screen shots!!!
    3. pricing and payment information
    4. information on where the project is heading from the next build.
    :D

  78. Delta_07 - # December 5th, 2007 at 4:27 pm

    Translation of what Data said:
    Stepanovgog: Such version it will be obligatory

    For those wondering, Stepanovgog said the following:
    Please make this version of game free-of-charge for скачевания

  79. Neoseeker - # December 5th, 2007 at 5:34 pm

    He said this version will be compulsory

  80. Delta_07 - # December 5th, 2007 at 6:07 pm

    well, we all get the point.

  81. Flying Pig - # December 5th, 2007 at 10:21 pm

    I just got a new Apple and I was wondering if the test builds are playable on it. Also, will the retail version be compatible with my mac? Btw will turrets be implemented? Thanks a lot,

  82. themodanater - # December 6th, 2007 at 8:39 am

    none of you are correct about what data or stepoganov said unless you know fullfledged russian, i shall translate the following sentence into russian and back to english
    the evil guy took the babys candy and ran away
    END RESULT:The malicious guy has taken babys a sugar candy and has escaped.
    it is broken and flawed yet readable, barely understandable.
    in short unless you were taught russian,you are incorrect.
    if you used an online translater (SP?) you are double wrong.

    It isnt here D:

  84. robolee - # December 6th, 2007 at 10:53 am

    @robolee: you actualy searched for 3d game?
    try searching for crysis, and you will think diffrent about 3d games.

    no, because that would give you the most recent 3d physics game, and I didn’t say that I said:”2d game is better then an average 3d game, with seeing through walls, crud textures , and the dodgy game aspects”
    most of these problems are gone in recent games, so why would I compare it to something that is completely unrelated?

  85. Carp - # December 6th, 2007 at 10:54 am

    He’s got the rest of today, /if/ he’s keeping to the last post. Cross fingers, everybody.

  86. Tendrop - # December 6th, 2007 at 11:11 am

    Yes carp, I have been waiting months for the AI update.

  87. brinlarden - # December 6th, 2007 at 11:52 am

    NEED BUILD 19!!!!

  88. Cosmin - # December 6th, 2007 at 1:03 pm

    Maaan, today would be a nice release date, since it’s 6 December and it’s St. Niklas. (or whatever u call it there). Give us a nice present tonight! Give us Cortex Command!

  89. Sheezy - # December 6th, 2007 at 1:43 pm

    And he said that it would be within the week a week ago.

  90. Tendrop - # December 6th, 2007 at 1:49 pm

    C’mon Data, you promised us a realse today/tomorrow!

  91. brinlarden - # December 6th, 2007 at 1:51 pm

    data we know you want to make the game as good as possible for the next release by adding more stuff, but if it means its gona take another 2 weeks then leave it out and update build 19 later. please were dying here.

  92. Tendrop - # December 6th, 2007 at 2:09 pm

    I know, we already have TOO MUCH new content in b19! Plus you can update it, you know!

  93. Daniel - # December 6th, 2007 at 2:44 pm

    Yoo evul bastardz.. Why arr yoo doinn dis to meh?
    Yoo so evul.. KILL, KILL, yarrrr!
    Gimme meh Corteks Commandos!

  94. AGENT15 - # December 6th, 2007 at 3:32 pm

    Quiet.

    6 days ago, Data said he would probably release in a week. He still has a day, and he never made a promise. Lay off.

  95. Tendrop - # December 6th, 2007 at 3:40 pm

    Gtfo, A15. What, you don’t want the new build ASAP?

  96. Drakor - # December 6th, 2007 at 3:44 pm

    Yeah he does, we all do. BUT- He (I think- correct me if I’m wrong) Would prefer for Data to take his time, and not release a really BUGGY Build.

    On a side note: When we buy the game- would we be able to create new campaign missions? or Replace them in the folder? I mean- they’d have to be coded in somewhere, right?

    I find the begging fanboys “OMGZzz!11one! plz releez teh gAMEZ nao orr eye w!ll XPLODEZ!1!!11BBQ” by FAR more annoying than a delayed release date. I actually hope they have it done and are holding the release just out of spite.
    Calm the f!ck down already, its a damn game for christ sake. You aren’t going to die if it doesn’t come out tonight or tomorrow, or even the day after.
    Quit bugging people who have worked hard for several years developing a fun game for you with sh!t-lick 1337 speak and beggars who are probably just going to get it off a torrent anyway.

    THEY WILL RELEASE IT WHEN IT IS READY!

  98. Tendrop - # December 6th, 2007 at 4:11 pm

    Yes, but… wait… who are you? Oh, you’re NOT one of the people who has been waiting months for this game, are you? No, I didn’t think so.

  99. whitty2 - # December 6th, 2007 at 4:13 pm

    guys STFU

    we did this to hi about build 15. and look what happened.

    LET HIM TAKE HIS TIME!!!!

    if you dont want to wait, play build 18 or get a girlfriend(s)

    Tendrop: What are you retarded? I’ve known and played this game for many months. What, because I have patience means I’m some newcomer who doesn’t know what he’s talking about huh? Get a f!cking clue.

    PS. 90% of the English speaking people on this board need to learn proper punctuation and use a GD spellchecker so I know what the hell they’re trying to say half the time.

  103. Fishy Boy - # December 6th, 2007 at 5:24 pm

    I am under the opinion that Cortex Command has much more design innovation then “Snapshot Adventures: Secret of Bird Island”. Seriously, what? Another casual click-a-thon is more innovative? It’s nowhere near that. What about Pokemon Snap, or something? Innovative? PAH! All the other games look so good, and then this.

  104. scout1 - # December 6th, 2007 at 5:32 pm

    Where’s the commercial version?!

  105. Foogooman - # December 6th, 2007 at 5:36 pm

    I want Cortex Command in my pants.

  106. AGENT15 - # December 6th, 2007 at 5:52 pm

    Tendrop, fuck off.

    If you want to complain and pester Data because you have no patience, feel free to do so, but do it somewhere else.

    Data is taking his time, which is better than releasing a bad build and having the first play session you have with build 19 suck.

    Just relax and wait, if it isn’t released tomorrow, then it will probably be released very soon.

    My guess is by this weekend.

  107. Neoseeker - # December 6th, 2007 at 5:55 pm

    I wouldn’t count on this weekend, just forget about it, you’ll log on one day and it’ll be out.

  108. Carp - # December 6th, 2007 at 6:42 pm

    Hear hear Migs, it’s getting pretty pathetic. Who was it that said something like “game: 10, community: 0″?

  109. whitty2 - # December 6th, 2007 at 6:50 pm

    that was purple. and hes back now.

    Ah, yes, 57 on Crunchtime:

  111. brinlarden - # December 6th, 2007 at 7:32 pm

    i would whitty but is 1:20 am :(
    anyway no ones saying
    OMGZzz!11one! plz releez teh gAMEZ nao orr eye w!ll XPLODEZ!1!!11BBQ.
    i think what tendrops trying to say is ‘if the game will run with no bugs and its filled with content, dont delay it while you add more, release now and update when you want to put that stuff in’ which seems pretty reasonable to me. the last thing anyone would want to do is pester data its just everyones so excited. to be honest though i rekon the game is done (b19) and there just sorting out payment ect. which i would of thought would have taken ages anyway. i really hope its out this weekend but if it isnt i wont be angry, ill just want a godam update :D
    me and my updates /slap self

    you know i refresh the devlog every 5 mins now…lol

  112. Flame - # December 6th, 2007 at 7:51 pm

    also don’t forget, that if there’s a problem he will have to find it and fix it then test again, so don’t get hopes tooooo high just yet wait about 1 more week also (but only if there is a problem), Foogooman i agree we all have Cortex Command in out pants.

  113. Joe Mikkel - # December 6th, 2007 at 7:53 pm

    I think it would be really cool if Cortex Command got released at the same time as Aquaria, i.e. tomorrow. Then I could have a little celebration!:-D
    Or at least this weekend; that way I can actually get around to playing it when it comes out.

  114. AGENT15 - # December 6th, 2007 at 7:53 pm

    Hah, when I first heard “game 10 community 0″ I thought someone was keeping score.

  115. ArchiSilver - # December 6th, 2007 at 8:09 pm

    I don’t know about you guys, but I certainly don’t want Data to cut any content planned for this version just to make good time, regardless of how minor that content might be.

  116. Tendrop - # December 6th, 2007 at 8:31 pm

    Thankyou Brinlarden, that is exactly what I meant.

    LIES! you just said it. you owe me a coke.

  118. Migs - # December 6th, 2007 at 8:42 pm

    PS what /I/ was trying to say is, that incoherent rants followed by:
    •is it out yet?!
    •why isn’t it out yet?!
    •in my opinion it should be out already!
    •why isn’t it out yet!?!?!?

    will, in fact, NOT speed up the process, no matter how much balls to the wall mind of matter shear willpower you force through your little monitor and direct towards data.
    Just,
    have,
    patience!

  119. Carp - # December 6th, 2007 at 8:57 pm

    Migs, shut up before you embarrass yourself further. Brinlarden made a good point, even if other people are acting as you described.

  120. Data - # December 6th, 2007 at 10:39 pm

    Don’t worry guys; we’re not adding more content. We are putting the finishing touches and trying to test as best we can for release. We are are not wasting time.

    A problem we’re having is that we we were shooting for tomorrow, but found out that another huge indie game is coming out just then (Aquaria - check it out!). We’re thinking it’s not a good idea to release on the exact same day, or even same weekend.

    We’ll play it by ear, but it’s looking like next week instead. That will give us some more time to rework the website as well.

    However, tomorrow you *can* expect a new post outlining the pricing and payment details and other info about the launch. I know it’s no substitute for a release, but we think this short delay is for the best, so please just have patience.

    - D

    Carp, go blow me. Seriously. I love emotional internet nerds giving me a fine knob polish. I was reitterating what I meant in a ‘humorous’ tone. Next time I’ll just keep talking like an asshole so as not to “embarrass” myself.

  124. AGENT15 - # December 6th, 2007 at 11:44 pm

    Data, are you kidding.

    You don’t want to release the same week as another game, which is nothing like Cortex Command?
    I really want the new release, and you teasing us nonstop isn’t helping at all.

    Fuck goddamn shit.

    At least I have an outlet; drawing a pain train.

  125. Control - # December 7th, 2007 at 12:01 am

    You know, I think I’m the only person who’s glad this is delayed past this coming weekend.

  126. AGENT15 - # December 7th, 2007 at 12:04 am

    I think so to.

  127. Data - # December 7th, 2007 at 12:12 am

    We’re not teasing to frustrate you - just trying to do what we think is going to turn out best for all.

  128. AGENT15 - # December 7th, 2007 at 12:20 am

    I know, it’s just frustrating, having to wait for so long.

  129. Neoseeker - # December 7th, 2007 at 12:48 am

    so it’s like.. done right now?

  130. Data - # December 7th, 2007 at 1:01 am

    No, not completely, or you’d have it :)

  131. Wckdneer - # December 7th, 2007 at 4:11 am

    Ahh, i was hoping to be playing it this weekend, though i expected not to :)
    It takes as long as it needs and even though i would rather have it right now (naturally ofcourse), Data knows best for Cortex command, so i will wait with patience.

    Which is why i also bought SC:Forged alliance to keep me busy for the coming week :P

  132. AzMiLion - # December 7th, 2007 at 6:05 am

    I’d really like to see that you release it this weekend Data, since the other game(Aquaria) is nothing like CC.

  133. Tendrop - # December 7th, 2007 at 6:10 am

    Oh what the hell, Data. I’ve never even heard of Aquarius, and still, that isn’t a reason not to release the new build. I dont think that in the Aquarius forums they’re like “UH-OH DATAREALMS IS PUTTING OUT A GAME THE SAME TIME WE ARE LETS SUE THEM!”. Anyway, it is unlikely that they will do anything about it if you do release the build this weekend.

  134. Pieman280 - # December 7th, 2007 at 6:21 am

    Thanks for the update data.

    I just don’t understand how releasing it the same day as another game will change a thing. as one guy said earlier he would love that.

    and Migs: please stop flaming and just post following the subject.

  135. Blob - # December 7th, 2007 at 6:34 am

    stfu Tendrop. Data is making that he is counting as right.

  136. brinlarden - # December 7th, 2007 at 7:00 am

    thank you for the update data :D
    looking forward to the new post.

  137. Cosmin - # December 7th, 2007 at 7:00 am

    Well, honestly, I think, IF “Aquaria” would be a minimal threat to CC, it would be wise from you to release CC sooner or at the same time, or else potential customers might have already run over and bought themselves a copy of “Aquaria”. And if it ISNT a threat, which it probably isnt at all, since your fans have been waiting for this a lot and you’re just working against them here, then I see no reason why it shouldnt be released this weekend. So either way, if “Aquaria” is good or bad, one week delay wont change a thing. And we would prefer playing the game while you polish up the website instead of having them the other way around. I think i’m not alone in this opinion.

  138. Alty - # December 7th, 2007 at 7:20 am

    D :

    ANOTHER WEEK? GAAHHHH!

  139. Data - # December 7th, 2007 at 7:26 am

    It’s not a ‘threat’ (the developers are friends of mine), other than that the buzz bandwidth is limited, and having two indie games released on the same day may hurt the impact of both.

  140. brinlarden - # December 7th, 2007 at 7:32 am

    up early?
    anyway next week will be fine, what day do you have in mind. wednesday? or are you thinking about friday/weekend launch?
    i guess thatl be answerd in the update though…i hope.
    oh and have you got all the payment options completely sorted?

  141. Drakor - # December 7th, 2007 at 8:15 am

    Dude- DONT give him a due date. :P

    If there’s ONE thing I’ve learned from the… 20~ or so in develepoment games- it’s this:
    Games without due-dates come quickly.
    Games WITH due-dates get delayed, and delayed, and delayed…. :P For instance- ONE game was delayed for a YEAR past the due-date.

    …hmm… I think I’d prefer a suprising release.

  142. Wckdneer - # December 7th, 2007 at 8:20 am

    Give data a break, hes not holding the game from us to be mean, he has his reasons wether they are obvious or not isn’t importand. You just have to trust data that this is best for the game, I know we all waited long for the game, but I dont see how we can wait a little longer. Its not like it will be another Duke nukem “Forever”.

  143. CC.Fan - # December 7th, 2007 at 9:21 am

    HOW DARE YOU NOT GIVE US A GAME YOU SAID WAS UNFINISHED!
    RAR! I HATE UR GUTZ!!

    Just take your time, and make it as good as possible.

    *lol*

  147. xtortion1980 - # December 7th, 2007 at 11:52 am

    So the reason we are not all playing the retail version of CC is cuz of some game called aqurus or something like that that is supposed to be out today, but isn’t and you dont wanna steal their thunder (it doesn’t even look very good)
    why don’t you release now and even if people who were gunna buy CC but bought aquaris first will just have to pay you more
    “those loyal to CC pay cheap” makes sense
    It may be like CC and be delayed for like a week

  148. demoneyes - # December 7th, 2007 at 12:03 pm

    well the developers of aquaria are friends of data, and data probably just doesn’t want his uber game to steal away all the competition…..

    on the bright side, at least we can be certain that the game will be bug-free and awesome next week WHEN ITS RELEASED!!!…..uh…..right?

  149. ArchiSilver - # December 7th, 2007 at 12:31 pm

    Seriously guys, Data doesn’t NEED to give us anything.
    The dev team has worked a long time on this, they’re the developers and we’re the community, they’ve given us this for free for ages and we have no right to demand a release.
    Data’s game, Data’s rules.

  150. Steam - # December 7th, 2007 at 12:34 pm

    I agree.
    I have played Cortex Command for a while now.
    With countless mods and constant updates i’m surprised there hasn’t been anything to pay at all!
    Data deserves all the money he can get.
    Also, if he doesn’t want to release the game due to another game coming out at the same time then he has all the right to do so.
    It could reduce sales and create compotion with a friend! =]
    I’m sure most other people agree… Enough with childish complaints and constant moaning!!!

  151. joemikkel - # December 7th, 2007 at 12:49 pm

    Actually, Aquaria does look like a good game. At least for those who can appreciate a game past blood and gore. It’s a game for those of us “higher” humans who can understand art. :-D

    Anyway, Data’s right in not releasing CC on the same day. That would be both mean (to the Aquaria team), and foolish. Not that I wouldn’t want it released today…

    The next person who types in all caps deserves to be lynched.

  152. Garble - # December 7th, 2007 at 12:57 pm

    LET THE LYNCHING COMMENCE!

  153. brinlarden - # December 7th, 2007 at 1:02 pm

    i would gladly pay now.
    we need to give data our money!!!
    still no update though….
    i can wait :)

  154. Chineseboy14 - # December 7th, 2007 at 2:03 pm

    I’m frustrated that CC is not gonna be released this week but I’ll contain my anger.

    Keep it up Data!

  155. MrX - # December 7th, 2007 at 2:16 pm

    Data, why?

    The game isn’t even the same site, server, or player base as us!

    Do you really have to do this?

    DUDES! I told yall, read post # 112, DIDNT I hahaha in yo faces and i was ready for this so OHHH SNAP! anyway @least we will have a payment method and how much it costs so *jumps with joy* woohoo!

  158. Foogooman - # December 7th, 2007 at 3:12 pm

    As soon as Cortex Command comes out, I will put the contents on a CD and put the CD in my pants.

  159. Tendrop - # December 7th, 2007 at 3:34 pm

    Data, at least tell us the cost of the game when it is released.

  160. Orindell - # December 7th, 2007 at 3:35 pm

    Release the game on the 9th, Its the day before my Birthday! Also, Were we not supposed to get a new post today outlining how to pay and such?

  161. Tendrop - # December 7th, 2007 at 4:33 pm

    Yes orindell, I agree with the 9th release and pay methods.

  162. Tendrop - # December 7th, 2007 at 4:49 pm

    Oh and btw, Aquaria looks girly, and it isn’t even out yet.
    http://www.bit-blot.com/index.php

  163. whitty2 - # December 7th, 2007 at 4:54 pm

    “Aquaria” looks like crap. major crap.

    and we are probably goning to have a dev log update within 24 hours, hang tight people.

  164. brinlarden - # December 7th, 2007 at 4:56 pm

    well tbh aquaria looks reaaaalllllyyy boring. arts good but thats it… yawn.
    i fancy an all nighter…

  165. Turkey - # December 7th, 2007 at 4:56 pm

    What’s so bad about a “girly game”? Does every game have to be so loaded with testosterone and Freudian penis surrogates to be fun? If it won the IGF, it can’t be bad.

  166. Turkey - # December 7th, 2007 at 4:58 pm

    Sorry for the double post, but I realized that it just won the art prize. Even so, ieven f the gameplay is horrible, at least it’ll look really nice.

  167. Orindell - # December 7th, 2007 at 5:15 pm

    And? CC Looks great, And plays better. Not to mention the huge fan following CC has, Even before its been released. I REALLY want this game. NOW! Data just keeps pushing the rpomised release date back futher and futher….

  168. AGENT15 - # December 7th, 2007 at 5:20 pm

    Cortex Command Built 19 is going to turn into another Duke Nukem Forever, I swear.

  169. brinlarden - # December 7th, 2007 at 5:36 pm

    we all want it now, but data will release it asap.
    he needs the money.
    just have to wait a bit thats all :( ohwell its a great christmas present.

  170. Pieman280 - # December 7th, 2007 at 5:47 pm

    personally I’m not against the people who badly want the game, heck I’m one of them, but please don’t post stuff like “OMG WHEREZ MAH GAEM!!!11″ I’m glad not much posts are like this and I’m not saying there all in l337, but I find it funny to put examples of anyoing posts in l337.

    how about we all agree with this: We don’t want to rush data, but we can all say that the sooner, the better. We all have at least one more game we’re playing right now and we can all use that game to hold off for hopefully just 2 more days. :)

  171. Orindell - # December 7th, 2007 at 5:49 pm

    Agent15, I sadly agree with you. I bet you it will be the next IGF and the next, And still CC will not be out. I can remember this time last year, When someone told this (Cant remember who sadly):

    Orindell: So…Any idea when CC gonna be out?
    Unknown:Well, Everybodys saying this coming summer at the lastest.
    Orindell: Wow, Thats a while away. Think it will come out then?
    Unknown: I dont know, Maybe. These things have a habit of slipping and slipping….

    This conversation stuck in memory. I wonder why. *Sarcasm*

  172. Fishy Boy - # December 7th, 2007 at 6:00 pm

    itll be before christmas.

  176. durza - # December 7th, 2007 at 6:39 pm

    @ A15 So an almost completed build gets pushed back a week to not compete with another game being released at the same time turns it into Duke Nukem Forever?

  177. Foa - # December 7th, 2007 at 6:43 pm

    I thought that you can unlock it instantly… after PayPal’ing the money…

    … And waiting a moment to get the e-mail/page with unlocker.

    i said no… :(

  179. Squid - # December 7th, 2007 at 6:58 pm

    I completely understand why Data would not want to release his game on the same day or weekend as his friend’s. Yet, Data… I think if he was really your friend, he would let Cortex Command be released first :P

    Also, I think I can relate why CC didn’t win IGF to Rocket Power. Remember that episode with the sandcastle contest, and they made all that really cool stuff, like the model of the Pier? Well if you remember, MacKenzie won with a wimpy little one-scoop-of-the-pail sandcastle BECAUSE it was a sand castle. CC isn’t finished, and therefore not a sandcastle

  180. Tendrop - # December 7th, 2007 at 7:51 pm

    Good point, Durza. Can you at least promise us a status report by tomorrow, Data?

  181. Wckdneer - # December 7th, 2007 at 7:56 pm

  185. demoneyes - # December 7th, 2007 at 9:36 pm

    yea thats totally unfair…….after grif leaked those pics i lost all incentive to play the current obselete build of CC….

    btw…if you guys havent tried the aquaria demo yet……you should…so you’ll be as pissed as i am right now that its the cause for the CC19 delay….the game is zZzZZZZZZzzzz

  186. whitty2 - # December 7th, 2007 at 9:44 pm

    dude what i did is took the dropship template and stuck in those new sprites. its pretty impressive.

  187. Foa - # December 7th, 2007 at 10:28 pm

    World of Goo is like CC, because of the awesomeness

  188. AGENT15 - # December 7th, 2007 at 10:29 pm

    This sucks. Data released Build 19 to a bunch of the people on IRC, but nobody else.

    Now they are bragging about it. Fuck.

  189. Pieman280 - # December 7th, 2007 at 10:38 pm

    @ Whitty2: I did something like that. I took a picture of the new brain just to try it out and it made it more sci-fi. I like the new brain:)

    I just found the thread where grif was revealing info and I’m glad he did. I finally know soooo much more and now I see why the people are rushing the release. :) it’s unfair, but I love teasers so thank goodness someone got it and was willing to show previews.

  191. Flame - # December 7th, 2007 at 10:55 pm

    um… Fishy boy is one of my best friends and he loves CC as much as we all do but hes just making a point, think about it there are many people that may like Aquaria but not like CC and vice-versa, so think about it.

  192. Joe Mikkel - # December 7th, 2007 at 11:10 pm

    Humph, now I hate the people who got the pre-release. However, I cannot find any logical way of insulting them severely…grrr…

  193. Flame - # December 7th, 2007 at 11:20 pm

    good luck next time Joe. ^^

  194. Carp - # December 8th, 2007 at 12:06 am

    I thought Data’d be above favoritism…hunh.
    I suppose he’s reasoning that the folks on irc are more serious about the game, so they’d make natural playtesters. Still…ick.

  195. AGENT15 - # December 8th, 2007 at 12:12 am

    I don’t know. Data has not told anyone why he released the new version to a select few, then ordered them to not talk about it to anyone else about it.

    Besides Grif, or something.

  196. Darklink - # December 8th, 2007 at 12:41 am

    I didn’t mind you announcing the delay, but then giving it to people on IRC? and letting them PURCHASE it in advance?
    If its done then just post it already!

  197. Neoseeker - # December 8th, 2007 at 12:45 am

    Have to agree with you dark link, there doesn’t seem to be much of a reason to hold it back now.

  198. demoneyes - # December 8th, 2007 at 3:21 am

    prereleasing it to a select few and letting them show off on public forums is like rubbing salt into the wounds….

  199. Grif - # December 8th, 2007 at 4:03 am

    To clarify:
    Data was not showing any kind of deliberate “favoritism” by allowing IRC-goers to beta Build 19.
    He was letting us do a bugfix so that YOU GUYS won’t have to when you get it. Anyways, the beta is extremely limited; y’all need to buy it.
    He chose IRC as a medium because instant communication means instant feedback.

    Oh, and Prom was on earlier today too.

    [asshole]Oh yeah so I’ve got basically the commercial version of b19 on my computer at the moment hahaha suck it [/asshole]

  200. xtortion1980 - # December 8th, 2007 at 4:38 am

    I really cant wait for this!
    I’m looking forward to this more than im looking forward to gtaIV
    Data, I hope you get LOADS of monies and stuff
    also where are the leaked images

  201. Dan - # December 8th, 2007 at 5:28 am

    Still looking forward to the release i have to imagine Data wanted to get in one last beta test via IRC.

    If their beta is $$ locked then there is no problem.

    Unlocked he just gave them a free game. o_o

  202. Robber - # December 8th, 2007 at 5:47 am

    Come on, please make a new Dev Log Post, Data. I want to see some screenshots or payment information. Please?

  203. Orindell - # December 8th, 2007 at 6:29 am

    Jesus christ….GRIF AND THE OTHER IRCers got B19? Aw…Fuck it. Thats sheer favoritism. I dont care if it was just to fix the bugs, I would download the new version EVEN IF IT HAD BUGS.

  204. brinlarden - # December 8th, 2007 at 6:43 am

    just lay off for gods sake. ITS JUST A GAME.
    chill out you will have it soon enough.

  205. Orindell - # December 8th, 2007 at 6:45 am

    Sure….Data promised an update for YESTERDAY. Or was it the day before? If they games ready, Why not release it now, Like today.

  206. Party Pancakes - # December 8th, 2007 at 7:13 am

    Where’s the post with the screenshots? I NEED IT NOW!

  207. Pieman280 - # December 8th, 2007 at 7:59 am

    I agree with darklink and orindell, if the game is ready I see not a single reason to hold it back.

    and guys, don’t get mad at the IRC members, they showed us cool pics and if you didn’t like that then don’t go to that thread.

  208. durza - # December 8th, 2007 at 8:13 am

    @Demoneyes, Aquaria is about exploring, if you don’t have the patience to spend hours wandering around then it isn’t for you.

  209. Party Pancakes - # December 8th, 2007 at 8:22 am

    Where is the B19 pics thread?

  210. Pieman280 - # December 8th, 2007 at 8:37 am

    @ Party Pancakes: I’m not sure. I wanted to see the pics again. :(

  211. Party Pancakes - # December 8th, 2007 at 8:42 am

    I never even got to see the pics yet :(

  212. themodanater - # December 8th, 2007 at 8:43 am

    @Durza, Screw patience! Im GONNA KILL something!

  213. whitty2 - # December 8th, 2007 at 8:57 am

    data it is pointless to wait amy longer to release it… grif has showed people screenshots and mushroshii showed a GIF he found by guessing the filepath…

    i say release it now, and everyone will love you more than if you wait any longer.

  214. AzMiLion - # December 8th, 2007 at 9:00 am

    Maybe data has some things to work out with the payment system or w/e, i still find it odd that we were promised a payment details psot by data and didn’t get that.
    A game getting delayed for 2-3 days i can deal with.
    A promised newspost that just won’t show up is kinda annoying.

  215. Tendrop - # December 8th, 2007 at 9:20 am

    Just release it now and charge us 10$ per copy. Or at least a Devlog update.

  216. whitty2 - # December 8th, 2007 at 10:07 am

    at LEAST a devlog update.

  217. Party Pancakes - # December 8th, 2007 at 10:16 am

    We need an update here!

  218. gismo93 - # December 8th, 2007 at 10:25 am

    data is sleeping

  219. Pieman280 - # December 8th, 2007 at 10:39 am

    I agree with post #212. it’s just suicide to not release it.

    @AzMiLion: It wasn’t 2-3 days it was over a week and I find that hard to deal with, but that’s just me. I remeber hearing the words “IT’S THE END OF NOVEMBER, THE DAY THAT THE WORLD LIVES IN PEACE AND WE ALL PLAY B19″

    *Two Weeks later*

    “i WILL EXPLODE IF IT’S NOT RELEASED NOW!!!”

    somehow I just knew The devlog was going to go caotic.

  220. whitty2 - # December 8th, 2007 at 10:43 am

    dta isnt sleeping he lives in arizona and it is 10:43 staruday morning there.

  221. Party Pancakes - # December 8th, 2007 at 10:46 am

    Data, you can’t hold this thing back any longer. You keep pushing us and pushing us! We can’t take this much longer! Or AT LEAST give us an update!

  222. AzMiLion - # December 8th, 2007 at 11:16 am

    219:I’m sleeping at 10:43 AM on a saturday, data might be as well :P

  223. Silverfish - # December 8th, 2007 at 11:19 am

    Haha this release has not been pushed far enough for you to start whining about it! Some people have waited years (after the first release date) for Darkfall Online to be released, also look at Duke Nukem Forever, I think that’s even worse. Team Data have no responsibility to release CC, you should all be happy that some people actually made an awesome game like this and that you may buy it.

    I don’t think they will release faster just because you want them to, so you’re better off just being quiet instead of making yourself look bad.

    Looking forward to the release next weekend! :-D
    Go team, go!

  224. AzMiLion - # December 8th, 2007 at 11:22 am

    Silverfish:DNF didn’t have a promised(ish) release date, CC has

  225. Orindell - # December 8th, 2007 at 12:12 pm

    Release next weekend? We were promised a release LAST weekend. But then again, I guess next summer is not that long away, Is it? *Sarcasm*

  226. Neoseeker - # December 8th, 2007 at 12:26 pm

    If you guys are so pissed off at data, then just don’t buy the game.

    It’s called capitalism for a reason. you don’t like shady annoying business practices, and fucking dickheads like grif, that data seems to like :/ don’t buy it.

  227. Neoseeker - # December 8th, 2007 at 12:33 pm

    Either that, or shut the hell up, the game isn’t being made by a reputable source, it’s being made by a normal guys with a few other dudes, Data isn’t getting fucking paid by the hour, he isn’t being paid at all.

    Sit down, and shut up.

  228. Neoseeker - # December 8th, 2007 at 12:49 pm

    Also, when in the background does cc still run and load up?

  229. Dan - # December 8th, 2007 at 1:02 pm

    In Mother Russia, IGF Wins You.

  230. Vash - # December 8th, 2007 at 1:04 pm

    Thats in SOVIET Russia,not MOTHER Russia >_>

  231. Dan - # December 8th, 2007 at 1:08 pm

    Just testing, you guys refreshing this page every 0.3 seconds like a mad monkey.

  232. Dan - # December 8th, 2007 at 1:09 pm

    Just sit down relax and CC will be out before you know it.

  233. XDevil - # December 8th, 2007 at 1:21 pm

    REMEBER:

    “Delicious Pie Menus and Eye Candy in Test Build 18″

    OH NOES NO NEW BUILD

  235. BananaFort - # December 8th, 2007 at 2:11 pm

    I can’t believe this famous quote hasn’t come up yet.
    “A delayed game is eventually good. A bad game is bad forever.” -Shigeru Miyamoto

    Sure, Cortex Command is not like other commercial games in terms of patches and payment. Sure, Data could just make another patch a couple months later.

    But would you rather have a subpar playing experience with a beta that came out now or an excellent experience with a beta that will come out next week?

    Think about it.

  236. Rikino - # December 11th, 2007 at 12:11 am

    Wow… I’ve been *waiting* for someone to mention the flying spaghetti monster inbedded in the ground. Do I get a prize or something for mentioning it? :p
    Or did I beat around the bush too long and someone beat me to it?

    Anyway, for those interested, here it is:
