Very cool. Thanks for the news.

 

This is really cool. Now to go mess with it!

 

lol funny since one of the engines we use at the study is the unreal one . so after i graduated i can start making indy games =D !!!

i bet they strip it down tho.... remove the good stuff etc.

 

Youll have to tell us how much different it actually is.

 

hahaha, i will. i will

 

I going to get this and mess with it. Hopefully I can figure it out and make something cool with it.

Time for a real XoOG?

 

I would expect it's most likely something like UE2R, so probably no game-specific code or anything like that. Well, maybe not quite actually since that was explicitly not aimed at gaming-related projects, even free ones (I don't remember whether or not it was allowed, but I think I do remember that they intended such people to mod existing games instead).

So, this is a slight change in tune; which does make it possible that there will be more weapon/character-type handling in there.

 

I'm going to tinker with this as well. I would like to start a gaming companyingin my mid 30's so I have about 8 years to know all there is to know.
