As you might have noticed, we haven’t posted the usual new year video in 2013 yet. We talked about it on moddb, but seems like not everyone received our words. The new year video was a tradition in our small group, and it still is. However you need to understand that trailer making and the game development are now sharing resources, and in the meantime all our members got job already somewhere in real life, so we can not spend all our day with making videos, in the meantime fixing bugs and pleasing every single person on the world. Please don’t think we are some sort of “gods”, who can please everyone, and please don’t blame us if we can’t. You can not imagine how many mails we get every day with requests, which we simply can not futfill. If you would like to support us, the best way to do is: give us patience, and understanding. We don’t need anything else.
Creating a high quality trailer would need a lot of time, which we do not have now. I’ve been discussing this with Cromm Cruac, since he made the previous trailer too. He promised to make the new video too, but only after he finished with the January-February rush at his workplace. Since the new year video would only appear sometimes in March, we decided to create a short gameplay movie until then. Stay tuned, it will appear on moddb and our youtube profile in a week!

I don’t really understand the lack of patience surrounding the development, IMHO we only have one pair of hands and it makes sense to work on the mod in preference to the video, I look forward to both, but it’s probably about priorities at the moment.

Thank you for all your Hard work and patience!

Personally, I lost my interest in Lost Alpha not long after September release date. Those repetitive excuses are just tiresome and it’s hard to treat you guys seriously, when you are even unable to tell if Lost Alpha will be released this year.
lukenxn1234 – If you read Blazkowicz post carefully, you may notice he merely asks to show some of current gameplay – something we didn’t see since Happy New Year 2012 video.

And if he would read it again, and try to understand:, because of the delay, we release 2 videos, 1 next week, and the new year video sometimes in March.
BJ Blazkowicz says:
Yeah. “so we can not spend all our day with making videos” Right. Making 30minutes of gameplay taking you all day? (who needs trailers? trailers show nothing, empty maps and nothing more) Well, in that case i’m not surprised that you guys making this mod so many years. Make one, solid gameplay that showing AI, map construction, new animations, maybe new monsters and anomalies, not shit like grass and trees, grass and trees like those on screenshots.

Well BJ Blaz, i can see how you could be annoyed not seeing enough of the actual game play and instead more scenic views, but give these guys a break, they’re putting in the hard yards on this while working, and you’re sitting at home complaining that you don’t have your toy yet, chill out dude, wouldn’t you rather discover everything in this mod for yourself? or ruin it by looking through weekly trailers showing you the exact layouts of maps, enemy weaknesses etc

I wouldn’t say our previous “newyearvideo” was only showcasing empty lands. It was action and task oriented, just as the next will be. Besides, showing map construction already happened (behind the scenes video). Many of our screenshots show such areas which never appeared in any stalker games, and not in betas (and even those, which appeared in old builds, are now looing much more different), so I really don’t know why some people only notice grass and trees on screens, yet those try to presentate a new areas [there are even such ppl who only notice different textures and weather, and since they dont even know the maps, they still think we have vanilla levels in game, just with different textures] . Your post is a symphtom of a spoiled child, it’s our fault, because we released way too many screens and videos since the development announced. Anyway, we can’t change the past, and we always do what we think its the best to do. That will happen now too.
