Project Tien is still open.
@Dam yet those 4 animators is 4 times more that the dev team has. How is that not a faliure when 4 people could not animate a single model where DT has over 36 models to animate ALONE.
I wouldn't necessarily call it a "failure", I can see why the animations weren't finished. The whole animation system wasn't very organized at all, I'm sure there were times where more than one person would do the same animation. You're not an animator, but when **** like that happens, it's not very fun. Also due to lack of motivation, and the unwillingness to do the hard work and amount of work. Over 100 animations is a lot to do for 4 inexperienced people who have never really worked on something like that before, while DT on the other hand, had been animating for years prior to Operation Tien and knew how much work that needed to be done for a character. He has a motivation and a job, while Operation Tien was, well... a community project. DT was, and still is, the only animator on the team, so he kind of
does have an obligation, compared to the contributors.
At this point, the community should prove to the team that they can make an effort rather than the team giving them good will. It's silly to have the team work on something that will never be used.
Edit:
Also: Nice double post.
TALK TO ME WHEN YOU'RE OFF YOUR PERIOD, DANNY DEVITO.
