I miss the good old days...

If anyone sees this I'm sure you were part of it too. Guess only the old farts from the "naughties" remember this. SkinCity. Where everything cool and awesome for UT2k4 was shared and viewed.

Sorry for the nostalgic post.

All I can blame is the domino effect of all those big gaming networks closing and etc, regressing communities and brickwalling creative output. At least GSI had it coming

but yeah it's a shame that new recent releases have been lame-ass repacks by do-nothings and the latest models being straight-up copyright infringement conversions.

The last time I showed off a WIP model (at Epicgames), a certain lamer derailed and requested nude versions and cluttered the thread with requests (it was a female elf), and the last time i've released a small wip beta of one with exceptions that it doesn't get mirrored (since I was making rapid progress and i don't want version fragmentation), it got mirrored anyway and I had 0 crits/feedback. I figured these were a good sign to stop


Also i've had a couple of death threats over refusing to release a WIP UT2004 model for Garry's Mod and Smash Brothers Brawl

On the other side it was a great ride with fantastic people for nearly 10 years . Everyone involved can be proud for being part of it .

Still here.

I still run an Unreal coop server and you guys are certainly welcome to stop by and explore the old maps. They ARE as good as you remember them.

Trigger warning: You will see assets from other games/engines. I like mixing it up some. Besides who doesn't love them a little Portal?

Thanks mate. I might re-install sometime and give it a go. Unreal and UT were an era....

I think I got most of my skins/models from Skincity. Valuable resource.

 

[Jacks:Revenge]

I, too, remember the City of Skin.

I'm constantly seeding the torrent for the entire skin zip. You can grab the torrent from my FTP or from the UT99.org thread or from here: http://s000.tinyupload.com/index.php?file_id=00405675250349257314

It's worth the gig of space to save this zip somewhere. It has everything.

LOL...I still have a lot of those skins and voice installed for UT and UT2004. Almost 16 years for me (original UT install date was 6-4-2000 on old system....yes, I remember the install date...).

 

[NeoNite]

Do you remember your first custom map?

 

[daloonie]

Found some of my old work, with psd's. Damn good to have backup.

Might have to update some of that work, just for sh***s and giggles.

 

[NeoNite]

Bump

Yeah I kinda miss Skincity...

I might rebuild Skincity offline some day... Did start to rebuild it with the main page done so far using the "last" build of the site before it went into the ether...
