People do this in their free time, and everyone is a volunteer. Whenever someone makes a model, or creates a texture, they learn something new and progress further and further. If you want things to improve even faster, learn the skills necessary to help the team, and apply.
I don\'t understand at all why people make such threads. Do you really think that the PS team will take a look at this and go, \"Gee golly, we really haven\'t been trying our best, have we? Let\'s stop slacking off and do something serious!\"
A lot of things can be better, but not everyone who works on PlaneShift is a professional. A lot of people are students, or have just graduated, or must adapt their skills to the engine which may not always allow perfection from the start.
If you want to provide motivation for the team to work harder and better, this is not the way.
*edited to add* The forest path is not meant to be a \"forest,\" but a transition between maps. No doubt it will be changed and improved when it\'s important enough to do so.
