I remember playing this mod all the way back in 2003 when I was still in high school. It was awesome - it had a great style of gameplay, had a decent community of people playing it. Lots of people were into DBZ so it had great potential for further growth too - of course content wise it was still a little incomplete. Thinking of 1.1 here.
All that had to be done to push it further and make it all the more popular was to flesh out the content. Add and balance further transformations, add a couple of new characters perhaps. People already liked the gameplay and wanted more of the same so should have been a no-brainer.
Instead, the devs adamantly refused to do this and whet about adding new and unwanted systems and engaging in the most ridiculous case of feature creep I've ever seen for a mod in any game. People were crying out for transformations and characters, but instead the devs came out with Dance-dance-revolution. Surprise surprise, ESF slowly died.
I've checked back to the site now and then over the years, interested in seeing the next release, and something that stuck me was the endless reskinning of characters and the like - just these pointless wastes of time when there hadn't been a decent, fun release in forever. 1.1 was fun as hell, if we'd just had more stuff added and balanced think of the years of fun that could have been had.
I haven't kept up with whose who with the developers, I suppose the original people mostly probably aren't even involved anymore - goodness knows, but god damn it what a waste.
This mod had so much potential, what a waste.
