One thing is for sure....
For three years now, starting before we released Distant GUns, a group of people have gone out of there way to trash both myself and Norm, our games, making outrageous claims and slanders about us on the usent, (they never post them anywhere thier real ID can be traced), they come here and bug the sh_t out of us, making god like claims about how our games are trash, they will never buy ouir games becasue of our DRM etc.
There are legitimate people who do not like our DRM. They state thier reasons and leave. No Problem.
But then there is that group again, who have cut and pasted out of context, items from here, again out on the usenet (never anywhere they can be traced), and then proceed to go around to the other forums, postingf links to posts out on the usenet. Real manly like...:clown:
On thing is for sure, Norm and I have come to the conclusion that someone is going out of thier way to try and trash SES, me and our future.
Let us examine why.
Is there a Development team that is afraid that we will push them off the top of the hill? No problem, it may have something to do with how well Norm and I did with Talonsoft.
But which team?
If we were to decide to do a WWII submarine simulator, one good 6 to 8 month push, an upgrade to the water, a move to 300k polygon models, and whock...! The onyl thing they have on use right now are higher polygon models and better water. They can only manage to put 6 or 8 ships in the frame at one time. We could push the king of the Submarine sims of the top of the heap.... Hmmm..... Not only would you be able to be the Uboat commander, you could play all the navies as well! ..:crosseye:
What about a major WWII Naval version of our Jutalnd engine. WIth an 8 or 10 month push, we could deliver a game about REAL WWII Naval tactics with 300k Polygon ships that others only deliver in thier great cut scenes....Hmmm.... Bismark?:stirthepot:
If we put our mind to it, another group of 300k polygon models and we could be chasing Gunboats in every harbor and fort up and down the east coast....Ahh....
Maybe we could go for an Age of Sail 3? oh thats right, I cant call it that anymore.... Wow you should see the 350k polygon prototype!:bandit:
In 6 months we could deliver a totally new Operational level land game, but we have done that twice already.:horse:
Are they just frustrated wantabees that cant seem to get thier project off the ground? Pirates pissed off becasue they cant crack our DRM?
One thing is for sure, someone does not want us around. :clown:
