Discussion / DarkRat is in Da House

« on: April 25, 2008, 06:08:37 PM »

Hi to all the old members i had so much fun with way back and hi to all the newer ones.
it's nice to see the game is still kicking after so long.
The sweetness of RA2 was the ability to change it and it has evolved nicely.
Cudos to the team that did DSL 2 I love some of the new things.
It's Amazing to come back after a couple of years and see the cool new bots people have put together.Makes me wish i was still around.. Or better yet makes me wish there was a new RA3 out to play with.

Keep on Mod'n

Modifications / DSL Loses one of their Main members.

« on: December 09, 2004, 11:07:29 PM »

Lucy Foster (Lu-Tze) passed away Oct 3rd.
We will be making a little memorial for her here at DSL which should be up soon.
We found out Lucy was very sick nearing the end of DSL Beta 2 but she wanted it kept a secret and did not want us to fuss about it.
This was the main reason I hurried DSL out the door at the end. she only had weeks left and I wanted to make sure she got to see her work.. which she did .
She had a brain tumor which took her life before she got to get married.
The DSL team will miss her soo much..

« on: October 23, 2004, 08:51:54 PM »

This goes out to you real robot builders out there.
We are looking to make a Members team for a possible Version 2.0 of DSL.
I have made Buster Blade which is a real life bot requested from one of our members.
If you have a Bot that you built and would like to possibly see it in DSL please post pic's of it here with a bit of info on it.
You never know you just may see your bot built for the game.

Please include different angle shots.

Discussion / DSL V1.2

« on: October 19, 2004, 03:22:09 PM »

We have listened to your comments once again and agree spin motors are too slow.
We are working on improving that right now along with other small things we feel should be changed or improved.
Once we have this DSL V1.x down we can look to the future to making DSL-TC V2.0
2.0 will be a full addon with new teams, maybe some arenas to replace some of the laggy ones. and probally some new part's.
Over time DSL will just get better and better by replcaing some parts that don't quite make it.
when you do a new version to fix we should not release new stuff we did it on v1.1 and we ended up worring about the new stuff more than the fix.

full addons will bring the version up but a full number like V 1.x to V2.x .
a fix will always stay in the same number like v1.1 , 1.2,1.3 ect ..
