………..oh.

Alright, some depressing “updates” here for you. To sum it up, circumstances make it so that it might be better to abandon this project.

First of all, I don't have a computer at home, so it is impossible for me to do development on this game. I am also unable to use the school computers. The only time I can work on it is when I am visiting family members (which is really rare) so I don't ever get time to work on this. I can get a computer from my father but he expects me to completely stop doing Scratch and move on to “real languages” that aren't “playing games” meaning there is 0% chance I can work on Recon at all until August.

As far as my earlier posts on illusionist's late reply to me asking if he was making Space War V, it basically means that it will be delaying development on this.

Another update - ProjectB is going to be offline since he is visiting family for quite a while (I know him in real life) so he will be unable to develop this. Which is annoying, since he would be my first choice to hand off Recon to.

So Recon, at this point, is nowhere near being done, is not really able to be collaborated on, AND is really probably too much work for what it would probably not be that big a payoff. So I don't know if I will continue development - I am still deciding this - and considering I know botcrusher is planning to make a game after this, I am thinking it might be better just to abandon this as it isn't in a good position. So please let me know what to do - I am really not knowing what I will be doing with this.

Hmmm… I honestly don't know where this is going. Botcrusher, you haven't said much, what are your thoughts on this so far?

Hmm well that's too bad that you can't work on this anymore, i'll finish it for you and will still but you in the credits.
Don't worry about the other project i was planning, it will probably be my last major program on scratch and is a gift to anyone who has no idea about 3D projects, and to tell the truth i'm not looking forward to finishing the 3D project as it means i have to move on myself.

BTW I won't entirely drop scratch but will be moving on i'm stuck weather to do c++ or java. i'm leaning towards java as c++ has some strange looking syntax but am not sure yet.

Hmmm… actually, circumstances have changed! I can be able to work on it now, but just not much. Sorry for the lateish notice.

And I really have some great plans. I rereleased the menu, btw. I am now working on a new engine, seeing how that goes.

Okay, I am moving working on an engine to top priority. Botcrusher, the engine you currently have is confusing to players, to say the least. The enemies come in every which direction, doing all sorts of stuff. The goal is to have enemies that come down from the top and try to shoot the player and get to the bottom of the screen. These enemies can have SLIGHT variations on them, but not overly so. This does not mean having the ships like the one that follows you at the top of the screen, or the ones that come up from the bottom or in from the sides and smash into you. Can we try to follow this formula? Maybe steal a bit of code from Space War IV? Thanks!

Botcrusher, are you there?

We have trouble. People are trying to take “Recon” and make their own game on it. The problem is, they are making it look like this is official, when it is most certainly not. I am really annoyed at this. Please, we need to do something to make sure people don't think this is real!!!

These are the fake Recons. If you guys see this please avoid it. And dev team, we need to fix this. Now.

Fake Recon Number One (Creator: minecraft123123)
Fake Recon Number Two (Creator: minecraft123123)
Fake Recon “Trilogy” Studio (Creator: minecraft123123)

minecraft123123, PLEASE STOP!!! This is confusing and is in no way Recon. Do not give me credit for this, because it makes it look like it is official when it is not. This will confuse a lot of people.

Recon has not been released yet. And botcrusher… hello???

Say… Since i use a good Video Game Music Software and im using it for Botcrushers Zelda Game im happy to help with music on Recon! (Making Music in 15 seconds).
