For those who haven't seen Jeff's planned release of Blades of Exile source code, he has once again done what he has said he wasn't planning to do. Any guesses on the next change? Exile 4, on line gaming, a new genre ... Posts: 4643 | Registered: Friday, February 10 2006 08:00 |

I think Jeff will create a new series; once he makes A5 and G5 he'll probably be sick of them. [ Wednesday, April 25, 2007 15:37: Message edited by: Excalibur ] -------------------- WWJD? Posts: 1384 | Registered: Tuesday, February 6 2007 08:00 |

Wasn't Jeff saying for quite some time that he had decided to release the BoE code, but wasn't able to yet? -------------------- Slarty vs. Desk • Desk vs. Slarty • Timeline of Ermarian • G4 Strategy Central Posts: 3560 | Registered: Wednesday, November 7 2001 08:00 |

He mentioned he was considering it early on, I think when information about N:R was first released. -------------------- quote: Posts: 1115 | Registered: Sunday, May 15 2005 07:00 |

I think he actually said that he was going to release the source code, but that he had it on a hard drive somewhere and had to find it first. -------------------- My Myspace, with some of my audial and visual art The Lyceum - The Headquarters of the Blades designing community The Louvre - The Blades of Avernum graphics database Alexandria - The Blades of Exile Scenario database BoE Webring - Self explanatory Polaris - Free porn here Odd Todd - Fun for the unemployed (and everyone else too) They Might Be Giants - Four websites for one of the greatest bands in existance -------------------- 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 Posts: 2957 | Registered: Thursday, October 4 2001 07:00 |

So. Nethergate 1.5, Avernum 5, BoE source released... I suppose the MMORPG is not out of the question. But I'm realizing that to Jeff, sometimes "can't do" actually does mean "can't do but would if possible". Especially when it's "can't do at the moment". Which leads us to this. quote:Edit: Source. It's actually still around after almost 4 years.

I'm willing to put an MMORPG in the "won't ever do" category. Along with Blades of Geneforge. I mean, let's be mildly realistic here. -------------------- Slarty vs. Desk • Desk vs. Slarty • Timeline of Ermarian • G4 Strategy Central Posts: 3560 | Registered: Wednesday, November 7 2001 08:00 |

Why bother being realistic? BoG will be made. Eventually. When Jeff becomes fabulously rich and has a lot of time on his hands. Because he'll definitely still be making games then. -------------------- May the fires of Undeath burn in your soul, and consume it. Posts: 1636 | Registered: Wednesday, January 5 2005 08:00 |

BoG... I'd buy it if it isn't as hard to script at BoA. and is as easy to work as BoE. If those were the cases, I'd even go out and get a job to get that game. -------------------- "I don't understand a word you just said. Try speaking American. It's the only language I understand."

If Jeff does become fabulously rich, which I doubt will happen. [ Friday, April 27, 2007 16:14: Message edited by: Excalibur ] -------------------- WWJD? Posts: 1384 | Registered: Tuesday, February 6 2007 08:00 |

BoG will probably not be developed, after the performance of BoA. Which is on one hand sad because BoA is the greatest under-achieving game I've ever seen since, perhaps ADOM, and it hurts to see it fall by the roadside like this. On the other hand, it means BoA will not be abandoned by the designers for BoG, and as a consequence, I wouldn't need to look at the ugly GF interface to play sgood scenarios. Yes, I know, TM might gnaw his hands off rather than design for the Geneforge engine. But still. -------------------- Encyclopaedia Ermariana • Forum Archives • Forum Statistics • RSS [Topic / Forum] My Blog • Polaris • I eat novels for breakfast. Polaris is dead, long live Polaris.
