Well, to be honest nobody is forcing you to follow the thread instead of focusing on development. Just stop replying unless you have something DD related to post. An escalation like this always involves two parties.

It is not my fault that @SamBelanger left for no apparent reason, and even if so, not intentionally. How would you know if me making this thread to CONTINUE an ABANDONED mod has only been for popularity? I've contributed to this mod well, and this whole situation is just annoying me, and the other DD developers here. I'm fairly new to modding, yes, but that does not mean I have no modding skills. On manners, what? Sure, we make mistakes sometimes, but no matters at all? You are wrong on many levels. '

this "redoubling" has existed for less than a week. chaos in a minor forum thread should not throttle development progress. i'd also appreciate it if you didn't bash my mates unless you have something better to bring to the table.

move on. time will tell whether this mod will thrive or not.

step 1: chill

step 2: GSB is working on stuff right now, but dosent have any progress worth showing yet

step 3: development has not slowed, it has outright stopped because of sams departure. Personally, Ithink that either 1.2 will come out at earliest, a month from now, or a portion of it will come in 1.3 or 1.2.1

Blaming others for your lack of direction is in bad form ... @JadeOfMaar is not responsible in the slightest nor is anyone else (other than yourself)

So Sam is responsible?

Amazing how the community can come together ... Last I have to say on this

what im saying is that sam was really the leader of development, and now that he is gone, the mod lacks a sense of direction. the fact that 3 different people are running this at the same time dosent help that.

You contradicted yourself a fair bit:

If you calm down a little bit and talk through this in a good state of mind, politely, I think this can be resolved really easily and efficiently. No name calling from anyone, either.

Despite saying the above, I'm quite annoyed as to why on earth you're blaming Sam for a lack of development. I'm sure he's suffered enough from the misinterpretation of people's critiques and should be let of the hook. Let's be clear - he left because he thought nobody liked him or wanted him.

By continuing to stir up this thread (as i am hypocritically doing, but for a better cause), you disregard his attempts at 'his' mod and blame your own lack of effort on his sudden departure.

It's your mod now, so there's no need to focus on the past as @linuxgurugamer said.

The DDR Developers have agreed to stop posting here because of this "chaos", so bye?

I just looked at the first page, have a few comments:

1.  There are nested Hidden Comments sections for no reason: in other words, in order to see the hidden comments, I have to click the first, and then there is another hidden comments inside which I also have to click.  This is awkward and unnecessary

2.  You don't need so many download locations;  in fact, having so many can be counterproductive, since when you do an update, you have to update 7 different downloads.  I'd suggest condensing it down to 2, just Github and Spacedock, and drop all the others

3.  i see you have BTW recommended, please add TimeControl, which is another mod to control timewarping

4.  Remove that first line, it's unnecessary, simply replace it with a line which says this is the continuation of the mod

5.  No need to have everything in bold

 

1. I'll get to that eventually.
2. I didn't make it like that. That's how @SamBelanger has done it.
3. I might.
4. It's a message to those who are wondering what happened to the original thread.
5. Same as 2.

1. You made a new thread.  Great!  15 minutes of work would fix everything I commented on.  It's obvious you did a copy/paste, which is normally fine.  I do the same when I adopt mods.  But I take a few minutes to clean things up.
2. 30 seconds to delete 5 lines of text.  That's difficult?
3. Your choice, your decision.
4. It's very antagonistic.  You can say the same thing in a calmer way.  Here, let me help you:  
   •  "@SamBelanger has decided to move on in his life and is not working on the mod anymore.  @Mrcarrot, @NickRoss120 and myself are working together to continue this mod"
5. 30 seconds to highlight the text and remove the bold.

Oh, and I just noticed the following:

1. You still have @SamBelanger 's Patreon on the first page, do you really want that?
2. The "Official Web Site" is a dead link

 

Wow, how difficult was that?

I'm being a bit sarcastic.  I'm not angry, just sad.  So far, all anyone has seen in this thread is excuses, belligerence and  bad manners.  This thread reminds me of a bunch of high school students.

You may not want this advice, but it's being made to try to help you, @Grand Ship Builder, @Mrcarrot & @NickRoss120:

• Take a few minutes to fix the OP.  Remove the references to @SamBelanger as they are, soften the rhetoric.
• Discuss amongst yourselves who will be leading the development moving forward.  Publicize it so everyone knows what's going on.
• Provide support for the mod 
• It would be nice to, when you have it, post a roadmap of where the mod is going, and, as you work on it, updates so people can see the progress.

no kidding...the planet modding community on discord is basically abuzz with only comments on DD, its quite remarkable

[goldenpeach]

Please, do not make speculations and let the parties involved sort this themselves. Also, please stay on the topic the thread - that is, the add-on release - and avoid personal attacks toward other members.

... I didn't sign up for blaming, all I wanted to do was develop a mod since I did contribute to the now-left-alone (trying to not use the word "abandoned" here) DoubleDouble thread by Sam. Now it seems like a festival of blaming here and now just about everyone from the Kopernicus community is here. They're giving out advice which could actually help us co-owners out, but someone keeps slamming it and "forgets" it. Not going to say who, just let it sink in... However, there's a point in this as we didn't get much done due to how much we've planned to fix or add such as bugs, new planets and stars, and some transliteration issues. I'm kind of stuck at a mid-point here as of now, and that's coming from one of the co-owners, too.

I felt like I had to write my memo here.

[linuxgurugamer]

Time for everybody to step back and relax.

Everyone have a happy new year

Can this thread please be locked?
I've messaged the mods and nothing yet.

[The Cuttlefish Empire]

why has there been so much controversy over this

 

how did this happen

 

why

Edit: this mod could very well be forked by someone, so if that happens the mod is not completely dead, soooo....

I probably don't know but we're (probably) still gonna make a new one but be a lot nicer so we can forget this happened.
