Hey, folks! I apologize for keeping people waiting, but I have been really busy as of late, along with most of the rest of the team. Today I'd like to present some stuff which we are pretty proud of - it marks the start of Fourtress, and also shows off a lot of stuff which we have been working on behind the scenes.

A little back-info on our mod for those who do not know what it is:
Fourtress is a Capture-The-Flag mod currently in production for the Source Engine. It pioneers, and/or advances such features as being able to support up to 4 teams per map, fort construction, multiple game-modes, and our unique Class/Upgrade fusion system. It will stay updated with the latest source engine features so that mappers will be able to take advantage of them.

So, without further ado, this, is Fourtress.

We're considering any release 1.80+ as Neoforts 2, as it is basically a completely different game.

We didn't rip off sourceforts at all, we're pursuing entirely different ideas.

If you think about it, you could even say sourceforts ripped of Garry's Mod with the freezable objects...

*Also*

I could understand where you get that from though, the mapper could make Neoforts a lot like Sourceforts with minimal effort, as both have the core concept of fort construction. But nevertheless. If you played one of our internal releases you'd find it to play entirely different.

In other words, yes, Neoforts ripped off Sourceforts pretty much.

My advice: hire new mappers AND/OR come up with an original concept.

Oh, I'm sorry, do these maps not please you? I spent a fair lot of time on them ( Including maps you haven't seen yet, and... well, except maybe for TreeTub, it's a joke map )... And honestly dude, you've never even played our 1.80 alphas, you have NO IDEA if we are like Sourceforts or not. Wait till you see more of our stuff before you judge. Right now you just sound ignorant.

You should probably contact me on MSN and spend half an hour trying to convince me that Neoforts isn't Sourceforts, then.

Oh wait, that already happened.

I will judge based on what I see in this news post, because that's the entire purpose of a news post. If you don't want me to judge, don't post news. Fact of life. Another fact of life: just because a map is a joke doesn't mean it has to look bad.

I will play your mod whenever you release 1.8/NF2 (which should be 2.0, because otherwise you imply that you're building off the existing code and content despite insisting that this version is "from scratch", but I guess that's your decision), and then I will tell you why you're still like Sourceforts. There is a basic gameplay premise here: CTF fortbuilding. You share it. It might be different at the top, but it's pretty much the same at the bottom.

Or better yet, he shouldn't give a crap about what you think and press on.
