Video Game Journalism at its finest.
someone better put "VNN lies, we dont hate Valve" in the thread title.
Hey I'd love to help out with this, I have a lot of experience with game design and mapping in hammer.
I also do art and voice act.
Here's some stuff from an old TF2 announcer mod that was never finished

Here's me just fooling around with a character
[URL="http://a.pomf.se/vicstc.wav"]http://a.pomf.se/vicstc.wav[/URL]
I'd love to help out however I can.
Thank you guys for making a pretty good mod for us, and even if the thread is about to get crazy, I hope we will survive and make an even better mod soon enough. Thanks to Rust who hopped onto the biggest server to tell us all about 2.0, answer questions, and shit like that. You should do an AMA or something like that.
Fucking christ, I'd be scolded to hell and back if I did that poorly of a job with checking "is what <user> says total bullshit?".
There's a whole bunch of other bullshit that I hate but I can't be arsed to put it in a post right now, remind me in maybe say 3 or 5 days.
So from what I'm hearing considering I haven't checked this thread recently, VNN made a video about the project, included false info that put you guys in a bad light, Kotaku makes a article about you guys "hating" TF2/making your own and now there's very little chance for damage control?
Damn, seems like you guys are getting it rough.
Hey guys! Rage here!
I wanna say thank you guys for joining Ash's server, it was a really great experience talking to you guys and answering questions and the whole bunch. It was really cool!
Anyway, I hope you guys continue to support us with our mod, even though things might get rough. Maybe.
Aside from that, our April fool's hootenanny is in fact, over. To receive the update to fix the models and particles, visit [url]http://steamcommunity.com/groups/TF2Classic2015[/url] , and direct yourself to the announcements to download the "Patch 8007 revert." Your sounds will be messed up, so delete your sound.cache in your sounds folder, and by the magic of source they'll be fixed.
Also, be sure to visit our [B]forums[/B] at [url]http://www.unfgaming.net/tf2c/forum/[/url] and our personal blog at [url]http://unfgaming.net/tf2c/[/url] ! And stay tuned in the thread for more discussion and concept arts, modeling streams by me and more!
Thanks for playing guys, you're awesome!
For any more concerns or questions, feel free to add me via steam by the logo on the left under my avatar.

I mean it's cool and all that it's helping the project get publicity, but unfortunately it seems to be more good than bad. He also made the team seam very Anti Valve which they're anything but that. So really it's just frustrating.

That is absolutely correct. It seems no research was done before publishing the article on Kotaku (which they frequently do whenever VNN releases a video, they really need to stop relying on him as a source of information).
Now we've got people on Twitter reacting to the article title saying we're "fed up" and people are referring to us as "manbabies".
Thanks a lot Kotaku.

It doesn't help that we [I]explicity told him not to make a video yet.[/I]

I would've said "let's file a copyright claim on the video!" but we all know what happens to devs who do stuff like that.
It would've made us look bad even though we're trying to protect what we're working on.

No they haven't.

Well it'd probably piss off Valve even more if you tried filing a DMCA since that's effectively claiming "hey, we own all the stuff" versus Valve getting pissed off (or the complete opposite) at the mod's existence in the first place.

I think for now we should just wait and see what happens, maybe go with the flow.
Man that Kotaku title really makes me angry. They deface an entire group of people and project just to get the maximum amount of click-bait from their title and article. What a shame.
[Editline]Edit:[/editline]
They changed the title. I really respect that.

Full post in my first tweet: [url]http://www.twitlonger.com/show/n_1sllchm[/url]
I'm not trying to fuel any twitter wars or anything. Just hopefully trying to get Kotaku to do the right thing and rewrite the article and stop using VNN as a credible source of "news" (at least until VNN hires himself a fact checker and starts doing actual research instead of just ripping info off of wikis)
If requested, I'll remove the tweets, but I don't want to be seen as "backpedalling" or anything.
Why do you guys hate Valve so much? They go out of their way to update an eight year old game and this is how you repay them?

We don't hate valve?
Hey, I just wanted to post to say if I could be of any assistance?
I'm sure you know who I am and what I can do but I'm more than willing to help do some models/textures and even weapon sound effects to the cause.
I was following from the start but work has gotten in the way, nice to see we've got a big spot of drama already...
Also here's an example of the sounds I last did for TF2:

They even added new cosmetics they got for free from the community that you can buy
[QUOTE]hopefully trying to get Kotaku to do the right thing and rewrite the article and stop using VNN as a credible source of "news" (at least until VNN hires himself a fact checker and starts doing actual research instead of just ripping info off of wikis)[/QUOTE]
they wont. by now it probably drived thousands of people to it. you know, like kotaku always does: bait a thousand angry nerds to watch(not even read) an article that doesnt say anything about something no one really cares but that drives people mad.
at this point the best course of action is to simply keep working on the mod like everyone has been doing so far. if VNN's video was that harmful, this thread would be flooded with people flamming the dev team because they're cry babies. wich is not going to happen since everyone is busy circlejerking about why tf2 is/ is not ruined anywhere but here.
If necesary (although i doubt so), you'll eventually relase a proper video showing ingame footage of the mod's status and working features, explain the mod's purpose and have the people who is actually interested in the mod take a closer look at it.
as for now, just roll with it, everyone will forget it in a day or less.

Oh boy, here come the trolls.
And in regards to my tweets, I know I've been a big source of thread drama in the past, and I'm sorry for that. I can be a stubborn asshole sometimes especially when dealing with people who I feel have wronged me in some way. With my tweets, I am honestly not trying to be "drama 404".
I'm trying to do what I said in my prior post; correct misinformation, hopefully get Kotaku to change the article title and remove any misinformation, and hopefully get them to stop using VNN for "news" until VNN gets his act together.
I'm not going to tweet anything else though. I'm just going to finish watching WWE NXT, then head to bed and see how things are in the morning.

[B][U]We dont hate valve.[/U][/B]
Alot of news sites are saying this, but really, we do not. I wish we could get an interview article out of the way to state stuff like this.
Ok one final post before I go: Look, a happy ending!
Procyon is the guy on Twitter who called us manbabies because Kotaku said we were "fed up with TF2 and Valve"
