Re: [Audyssey] suggestion for phil from pcs games aboutsuperdogs bone hunt

2011-12-11 Thread dark

There is probably a rather simple answer to this question Michael.

The gma engine is expensive, furthermore it is not like Bgt, you need some 
pretty good knolidge of programming to begin with.


the engine is therefore a serious tool for serious developers, heck I 
believe superdog's bone hunt was original a test exercize Phil made for 
himself, but then decided to turn into a game.


For both of these reasons, it would be pretty difficult to advertize the 
engine as a way to create free games, indeed none of gma's own free titles 
use the engine.


I also suspect such a modification might take David greenwood more work than 
it would be worth, given the initial expense of the engine to begin with.


of course, we don't know what David is working on currently, and he has 
stated several times that he wants to add some features to the engine like 
online play, but equally he might be producing the next upgrade for time of 
conflict, or a completely new game entirely which has nothing to do with the 
engine, we'll just have to wait and see.


Beware the grue!

Dark.

Hey.
Here is a thought about the gma game engine.
Why won't the developer of the engine go into it and fix it were a 
developer can make free games or paid games?
Then if Phil wanted to add more levels and stuff to the game he would be 
able to do that with out charging.

Or he could add more to the game and sale it for a couple of bucks.

2011-12-11 Thread Phil Vlasak

Hi Michael,
David Greenwood put a restriction of 1 level for free games because he 
didn't want someone to record all the sounds in Shades of Doom and create a 
free game with the same creatures levels and sounds.
Based on a recent message from him, it sounds like he is planning to upgrade 
the game engine from Visual Basic to something more recent.
For a few years he was selling the game engine with different deals. I think 
I was the only one who finished a game with it. There were about twenty 
people who tried to use the game engine with no success.

Phil
