Science & Industry rocked

Last time I had talked to him, he had retired from video game devlopment (this was about 2 years ago).

Popdog was the mascot for Barking Dog Stuios (who made backalley and train). Take-Two bought them and turned them into Rockstar Vancouver, who are working on Bully.

Ah yes, Barking Dog. They also did the expansion for Homeworld. For some reason Sierra got them to do it instead of the original devs, Relic.

It's because Barking Dog was formed from guys quitting Relic. So they already had first hand experience with Homeworld, and were willing to make the expansion for a whole lot less.

I still think It would have been better if Relic had done it. Especially considering they would of kept the same art style. Seeing those almost cartoony Somtaaw ships alongside the ships from the original was strange.

How many guys exactly quit from Relic at that time?

Obviously I cant speak on his behalf, but I seriously doubt he would have any problems with you doing a remake of it, if anything he should be flattered

However its the right thing to do, but if he's nearly impossible to get a hold of

then I donno :G

ns_origin ftw

Would be good to know for sure that Valve or Turtle Rock are not making de_vegas, just so you don't spend lots of time on a remake, only for it to then be released officially.

I don't thjink they are redoing it, the next CS map is supposed to be a building site theme. Maybe someone at Valve can be contacted to find out if a remake is in the pipeline, and to see if anyone there has Cadavers contact details.

you tried to contact him, he's nowhere to be found.... I say just go for it..

Wasn't the guy that made de_vegas in CoFR? In that case they still have their forum at http://www.cofr.net i might be wrong but i remember talking to the guy when i waypointed that map and im almost certain it was de_vegas.
