How many SH3 modders will we lose after SH4 is released?

[Hitman]

If your pardon the expression, i get the distinct impression most of the long time modders here have pretty much blown their wad and probably don't have much of a desire to do it all over again

That is exactly the reason why I never did any mod for SH3. I started developing some concepts and made suggestions for implementations which saw later the light thanks to other modders, f.e. in the Milk Cows mod, but I had spent so many hours learning SH2/DC and modding them that I was simply exhausted and with no will to start again from scratch. And such attitude is not only from me, but you can also see that except sergbuto, the vast majority of the former SH2 modders did not make it to SH3. All the significant and outstanding modders like many of the guys who have posted here, were never in SH2. Will you be in SH4? Only time will tell, but my experience says that the majority will not cross the bridge . But even after SH3 was released I still did some mods for SH2, which were possibly some of the best jobs done -like the revamped version of Rossbach's Artic campaign generator- and I bet some of you guys will still release a few mods that will be icing the cake

Pacific Aces was outstanding, what is this little nugget: like the revamped version of Rossbach's Artic campaign generator?

Thanks for the link.
Your work and the work of those who modded SH3 won't be forgotten anytime soon

I agree totally with your post Hitman.
The mod work was the more time consuming task that I ever made in my life. Were two years, almost all the days over the PC adjusting this or that. Sleeping few hours per day and in debit with my family. These were the bad side. Ah, I have also a little more paunch now! LOL

The nice side is that obviously these two years were also my best experience with computer and war games that i had until now. And this also makes me happy, I like computers and WWII games very much, it's really a hobby for me.
But I will retire from mod SH4 for the exactly same motives above. I just want to play the game, use mods from others and make new things on my life again.

Like you said, others will make the job now. And I'm sure that will be as good or even better job as the community did in SH2 and in Sh3!
