aldo_14, thanks very much - and I will take you up on that! But not now, I'd rather all shots of the new code were based on the latest bug free code - so that what we show is what people can indeed get.... showing the engine at its absolute best. I don't even want to start work on this untill the new build is out - the more concrete everything is, the better.


A fair enough idea Kal but 3.6 won't look any different from the builds available now because all they are doing is fixing bugs. So as long as you don't include any pics showing one of those bugs, what you see now is what they'll get :D

Well, I appreciate that Karajorama but I'd really like to be able to say "all shots are taken with the latest source build" where both developers and users can know where they stand. As opposed to "I saw the shots and downloaded it now but there's bugs ra ra ra".

If someone makes FS3 they better be darned careful as to what they do.

The game will need total MOD support, expansive story line, balls to the walls action and graphics, and they shouldn't be thinking about taking out Joystick support or I will personally hurt them :)

Outside of that, its a very powerful and viable franchise if someone is experienced and gets it right.

Yeah Interplay has defaulted or something on their payments for their offices.  Downright embarrasing and I can tell you where it all went wrong :D

Agreed?


Nope.

If I become rich and/or famous, I'm going to by Argonaut Shefield, its entire crew, some good story writers and make Iwar3. After that, I buy Digital Anvil and the Freelancer license and remake it on a decent engine, slap a '2' on the tail end of it and we'll hire some real voice talent this time. Oh, and before I do either of those, I've got some pet game projects of my own that I'd rather put to press first.

Freespace is nice and all, but we have to have priorities.

Yes, and you don't have to live, either.

And how bout' a murder-suicide pact, should Freespace fall into the wrong hands.

So, what you're saying is, that you'd rather make a good sequel to a crappy game, than a good sequel to a great game?

Bof, Freespace was great as a game, but as a license... That's not an unforgetable universe to me, honestly.

I think I'd rather have a new cannon fodder game., hactually.

And i agree with Venom / Nico.  Much as I like FS2, I can't say I'd miss the universe if it went overnight.

when we start sending FSO to all these game sites and magazines, why don't we send a copy to [V] as well? just to show them what we've done with it, ya know?
