Have you tried securing funding yet, perchance?

Funding has already been taken care of, we've had funds since the end of last year when we planned the start of the company out

Plus we've already secured a loan for office space etc so everything in that department is taken care of.

redmenace - It can't hurt to try, so I'll ask for you.

Good man

To be honest, this is the sort of thing I wish I'd done when I graduated... but the people I know, and would have asked, have families or houses to look after, and it wasn't a risk I could ask them to take.

@aldo14,

You could always join the team or volunteer your models, should they start. They would love to have you , at least I would if I were them.

You deserve/earned it 1000fold.

I'm invisioning a huge game made by the best in the community, and you get money

He's just registered and he's being accepted.

Oooh, I feel all faint.

*staggers around*

ARGH! My powers! I'm melting! Meeeeltiiiiiinnnnnggg............

[StratComm]

Anon, you want those last ~175 posts so bad you can taste it, don't you.

[an0n]

Oh, is that what that is?

I thought it was just c'z I'd brushed my teeth for a change.

If you guys get the liscense, I can tell you right now that I will buy the game regaurdless. You coming here to ask us is proof enough that you are a (soon-to-be) company worthy of my 50 bucks. Now there's the matter of "If it ain't [V], it aint FS3" I agree. Which is what brings up the point: does it have to be called FreeSpace 3? I mean if you get the story of FS3 from [V], why not make a smaller story that doesnt fully finish off the story. I say you make an FS2 spinoffy game, true to V's universe. Sell the game, make enough money to support yourselves and repay the rights, then sell the rights to [V] for a fraction of the cost. It is a large risk financially, depending on the sales of the game, but if you can pull it off, it will work.

If only you could use the SCP. Unfortunately, I doubt that the creators, as generous as they have been to the community, would gladly give up their work without a share of the cut. You'll have to do it all over yourself. There have been too many people that contributed to the SCP to give each a share of the cut. Unless you guys that made it are willing to just hand over your work. But oh well. Good luck to all.

[jdjtcagle]

I disagree, if we do get the story from :V: I say CLOSURE!!!

[Flipside]

I agree too, theres no point shelling out that kind of money to write just another chapter, you want to go for maximum impact, and that means answers

As for the whole [V] thing, well, as much as I'd like to see them write FS3, if these guys get the licence, it basically means that [V] weren't going to, they still have first grab iirc. So, if it's good, which this guys dedication to gaming already suggests, I'll cough up

[.::Tin Can::.]

I think the community would be more than willing to fork out a reasonable amount of money if asked in order to save the rights to Freespace, seeing as how they devote so much time to making it look at feel new and fresh.

I'm neither a professional modeller nor a professional games programmer(alas, wring skillset), for one thing.  

Secondly I'm under contract till the end of October.  

Thirdly it would be grossly unfair to even expect to be considered for employment in that way - if they wanted people, they'd be asking and they'd be going through a proper recruitment process.

Finally, location, location, location.

Otherwise, I'd have asked

Yes, welcome. I wish you the best of luck.

And pardon my curiosity, but where did you come up with that username from??

[^Graff]

Regarding the idea of a Freespace fps, might I suggest adding zero-g?  Zero-g maps would add a new element to multiplayer, so it would stand out.  And we already know (from Hall Fight) that FS marines are trained for low-gravity situations.

I know plenty of people who play multiplayer extensively, but know nothing about the single-player campaign.  Having some kind of special feature will draw in the MP fanbase.

[TrashMan]

Wow...this sounds great. If you can pull this off the whole community will be behind you.

And the community has many talented programmers and modelers, so if any help is needed in that department, I'm sure everyone would be willing to help anyway they can, to see the "as real as it can be" FS3 out..

And I'm sure all they would ask for would be a slight mention in the credits...LOL

Best of Luck!
