Where Have All the Coders Gone ?

***wraggster*** · December 18th, 2005, 18:18

ITs no surprise to anyone that was here since the Hello World release by Nem and the following 4 months of madness that followed with multiple daily releases by many coders that the PSP Scene has slowed down massively, is the cause of it boredom with the PSP?, have Sony won the war and the coders fed up with trying to take on the firmware updates everytime a firmware is hacked. Have new consoles with open source coding environments won the hearts of our coders or has piracy caused coders to leave the scene.

What do you think ?

I'd think that the holiday season has something to do with it. If they're anything like me, this is the time to kick back and put up your feet. If this continues into Febuary, then it might be a cause for concern, but for now we can just let it be.

On a side note, commercial releases for the PSP haven't been much better in their pace of releasing great games lately.

Or if there like me then this time of the year is the busiest and takes a lot away from there free time.

My theory (or is it just wishful thinking) is that coders are getting down to projects that take more than 10 minutes to produce (pronounced AotM mod). I am in this category myself. Making a fullscale game from scratch takes a bit of time and you guys might not see the final result until Feb. Just because you're not seeing daily results doesn't mean it's not being worked on
