In-laws in town, brother graduating from Harvard Law tomorrow, this is what I get for having a real life
This owuld be something we could do after the bug squashing and after the mucking about we have to do with multi, but we have been talking about T&L for a while (see the stickied summary thread).
I think it would be great to have a completely updated graphic engine, openGL and DX8 have been a fun ride, but i think worth it.
There will be a concious effort with this, though, to up the system requirements, so we will begin to rapidly loose the older cards.
I would think that so long as we have a stable release of the current system, that that release and any new release would continue to be mod compatible and interoperable in multiplayer (not sure how realistic that is, but, hey, we can try, right) that we could just STOP progress on the current 3.x series after say, 3.6 or so, and dev folks could move on to new and interesting if they wanted?
Just thinking about this out loud, ignore my ravings
