TerminusEst13: Okay, there we go.
TerminusEst13: With that hurdle out of the way, this is now a completely licensable commercial-compatible build of GZDoom to make indie games in.
cliff racer: but why gzdoom
TerminusEst13: Because if I used Zandronum, then people would only be playing All Out Complex Brutal Samsara.
cliff racer: why not something like unity
cliff racer: which would give you infinitely more flexibility
TerminusEst13: Because I have no clue how Unity works \:D/
cliff racer: hey
cliff racer: if the people who made gone home could figure it out
TerminusEst13: OHHHHHHHHHHH
cliff racer: to be fair
cliff racer: I think they kinda gave up past walking
TerminusEst13: To be completely honest, it's more because I think I'd be much better off using an engine I'm familiar with rather than constantly upgrading. It took me about four years to get to this point with dumbshit babby language Decorate and ACS--if I stopped working on things now and upgraded to a better engine, I'd need to spend about another four years learning that engine before I could make super-good stuff. And then by that time, I'd probably discover something better, or something would come out.
cliff racer: I'd assume a lot of the theory transfers over, and coding idioms don't really change jumping from one C-style language to another
cliff racer: the problem would be learning to deal with an engine that actually knows 3D
TerminusEst13: That, too. I can hack my way around sprites. I can't hack 3D. At all.
cliff racer: this is why if I get to work on a unity game
cliff racer: everything will be cubes
cliff racer: if I get really fancy there may be a dodecahedron in there
TerminusEst13: whooooooooah
cliff racer: I could totally do a tabletop game simulation, it's just boards and dice right
cliff racer: stretch out cubes and make dodecahedrons
cliff racer: done :^D
TerminusEst13: Actually, a game where you play as players at the behest of a brutal DM might be interesting.
cliff racer: and it would be called
cliff racer: morrowind-when-you-arent-abusing-every-glitch-in-the-game-and-you-make-endgame-actually-hard
TerminusEst13: Also known as Not Morrowind.
