: Oh, I appreciate very well how much of your time and effort has gone into EO.
: Even though I may be your biggest detractor here, I still admire what
: you've done. Unfortunately, cynicism grows with age. I know very well what
: it is to program and what it will take to make EO a successful project. As
: I've stated many, many times before, creating the game engine is the easy
: part. It's really trivial compared to what lies ahead. You can build the
: best game engine in the world, but it won't mean anything unless there is
: content to go with it. That is why my first posts in response to your
: project were to either make it fully backwards-compatible with old maps,
: or to make a kick-ass editor for one of the many existing modern game
: engines. Hell, if you made a map editor for any of the modern engines that
: could run on Windows, Linux and Mac OS X, you'd probably have a much
: greater audience. The only thing that has prevented M:R from taking off is
: that the only editors for UT are on the PC and most of the great Marathon
: mappers use Macs. Please don't take offense at this, as I really do wish
: you well and hope you'll succeed. The key is still the content, however -
: not the game engine.
Thanks for that awesome reply... do you think, if I manage M1 for E0 (which is coming along nicely BTW), it'll start 'rolling'? What do you think is the minimum amount of work that'll result in enough support for me to get on with my life?? [/desperate tone]
