| 10039 | Yadex | games | 5205 | Re: still playing? | Yes, regularly. It's a nice pastime, as well as heretix, hexen and RotT.<BR> And therefore, I do like Yadex - found some secret levels that way :-))<P> Pit | 2003-04-02 00:53:24 | 10036 |
| 10040 | Trackballs | games | 7797 | excellent! | Just brilliant piece of work. | 2003-04-02 01:27:25 | 0 |
| 10041 | 3591 | news | 5676 | Re: correct | It would appear that there still exist people who are quite happy to comment on the LGP game dev team and system and yet haven't even bothered to find out how it works. Nobody is requesting professional artists to work for nothing. They are to be part of the team and will share the rewards when the project comes to fruition.<br> <br> I play Freecraft although I use the Warcraft II media, it doesn't surprise me one bit that artists don't come forward to make professional quality graphics for the Freecraft Media Project. The task is enormous and the bar is set very high by the Warcraft media so why go to all that trouble. There are many many units and buildings all requiring varying amounts of animation in a medium resolution (800x600).<br> <br> I have researched it a little and if I was to attempt it it would require me to create 3D models for all of the buildings at least, units probably too. The graphics would have to be consistent also, so that would create problems if more than one person was attempting it. A mammoth task indeed and not to be taken lightly. | 2003-04-02 01:33:59 | 10033 |
| 10042 | Hex! | games | -1 | Strategy game or board game | Sometimes the categories at happypenguin.org are slightly confusing. Personally I would call Hex a board game instead of a strategy game. It looks like a good game though :) | 2003-04-02 02:03:30 | 0 |
| 10043 | Racer | games | -1 | Re: BOTTOM LINE... | It's ofcourse a subjective word, but given the fact that you don't have to pay to download the program, don't have to pay to run it, don't have to pay to create your own stuff for it (and publish that), I'd say it's free.

| 10044 | Racer | games | -1 | Re: Looks great | I'd go for that yes. :) Although it's not really my intent on making my money of the masses, so it has a bit of an unethical feel to it, but the money would be nice and you'd have your GPL version to play with. Do realize the project would come to a split (which may not be bad, but I'm not convinced); on one side you'd have the GPL-Racer, and on the other side I would continue to work, closed-source on my own version of Racer (which would still be available for free for non-commercial use btw, just without the source). It's my pet project and, apart from plugins, I want to do the design, the coding, the direction it's taking. My goal is not the game itself, my goal is making it the best I can do (!). That's why I don't pull in as many programmers as possible. | 2003-04-02 03:35:40 | 10024 |
| 10045 | 3591 | news | 506 | Re: No offense... | This isn't really true, there have been quite a lot very talented artist for Freecraft. The problem is that none of these had the time or motivation to do the complete War2 gfx set alone and due to the lack of any style guide or a lead artist it all ended up as a inconsistent mess, even so quite a few sprites are pretty good if taken alone. Freecraft also suffers the problem of simply being to large, if you start of with Warcraft2, you simply end up having to do tons and tons of sprites, focusing on a much smaller subset for a start, could have lead to much better results, since one artist could have done the work alone. | 2003-04-02 04:41:13 | 10020 |
| 10046 | XWelltris | games | 6162 | It's a great tetris clone | Ou! yeah! is the best tetris clone that i had seen. Totally<b> recomended </b>. | 2003-04-02 06:38:23 | 0 |

| 10048 | 3591 | news | 7620 | Re: No offense... | I suppose I came across rather crass, but I wasn't trying to put the company down. I was only making the comment that EVERYONE has a game they wish they had good graphics for. What struck me as odd was that they had the audacity to set a level at how good they must be....does the comment "Beggers can't be choosers" mean anything? Not that they're begging, but really...in a supply and demand world, they appear to be the ones in demand along with everyone else. On top of that....what's this, "join the team and I'll tell you the secret of what we're doing". First off, they'd be lucky to ever get an artist interested, but to have them take time to submit a porfolio and not even know what it's for? Again, no offense but....get real. | 2003-04-02 07:51:24 | 10032 |
