Laboratory TC has been suspended... possibly indefinately. Not quite sure if I'll be able to release it legally. I will post with more updates as they surface....

So what you're saying is that the only JK project left to be anticipated is being terminated?

I demand an explanation, sir.

Too much semantics not enough explainage.

Is someone threatening you? Because I can punish them.

Surprised me. Spiral's usually pretty good about finishing what he starts, especially a Laboratory project, and even more so if it made it this far. If he's having to put it on hold, I trust it's something pretty serious.

Im willing to bet 10000000 gajillion dollars that this is some sort of legal matter, in which Lucasarts or someone has stepped in and demanded the stopping of production. I bet, watch, I bet..

wtf? It's a freeware project...

If the name's the problem, that's easy to change...

If you used materials from sources that you can now not use, it's not to late to change them...

If some dude doesn't like the design of the mutant/alien/zombie/whatever dudes or whatnot, add a few horns and insist it's different ;/

Honestly, wtf is up with this legal s***?

That is pretty bad. We can provide legal advise. You know how well versed we are.

It isnt anything he did mega, it's something completely different. you guys just calm down. it's a very good reason, if it goes through.

just.. be patient... it might not even happen and he can get right back to releasing it.

oh, and ill take that bet, Temperamental, because then i'd be '10000000 gajillion dollars' richer.

I think Spiral might be trying to sell his game/concept to some company, therefore he'd no longer have the rights to distribute the concept in the JK mod.

Sounds like a bunch of BS because you're pissed at Doom3 [http://forums.massassi.net/html/wink.gif] I say release it or give us an explanation. And why should we have to wait till next week!?

That takes like a few minutes. I'd like to know the real reason.

I suspect he doesn't have all the information yet. That's just a suspicion though.

It might not take a few minutes. Or, maybe he's just waiting for confirmation. Or, maybe he's waiting for new information to be revealed to him.
I love it how everybody here knows exactly how long it should take for information to become available, even though not a single one of you has any clue what's going on.

Nobody said anything about information being available, that was about him ORGANIZING information.

Or maybe, instead of getting everyone so upset, you should have waited until you knew information, and understood and could tell us. Just saying "There's a slight possibility that it might not be released, but I actually don't know or can't tell you a damn thing until next week." That's just mean.

Uhh, maybe I'm being an *******, but it seems to me Spiral has always had an excuse...Maybe he really never finished Laboratory and now he needs a good excuse to get out of it. He says Doom III has almost the EXACT same story as Laboratory..well since Doom III has the same story as Doom except it's more in depth, Laboratory would be at fault here.

lets go through the scenarios ...

1 - Stolen Sounds
Change Them
2 - Stolen music, pictures, textures everything else...
Change them
3 - Stolen Story
Change it? Or just release it, because I'm sure Carmack gives a rats *** about a TC for a 7 year old game.
4 - Too lazy to finish a TC everyone wants?
Don't be lazy?

No matter what the problem is, this TC can be released. I'm just sick of the excuses. When was the original release date? 2002-2003? It's 2004 now, and there hasn't been a month without sometype of excuse.

Sorry if I sound like a jerk, but seriously.
