Re: [ilugd] [Gaming] Open source FPS games
Anyone other than kinz(cos I already know him lol) doing gamedev?? I think I know another person as well :D ^^ .. ahem.. ok anyone else? Open source game development won't work.. but game development using open source source software will.. let me give you my 2 rupees.. :D First of all, Quake source files and rest of what John Carmack and Id gave out, was only after the company made money from them first.. and it was released under the GPL.. Carmack wanted people to make better technology and releasing his source code was THE best way to do it and he knew that very well.. so it was good for the whole, people learned new techniques.. and wrote there own engines et al.. but if you wanted to really modify the quake engine, or rewrite it and make games (like what valve did with half-life) you would still have to license the engine( you have to license it to sell your games as closed source..) and + artists(graphic+music et al) are not programmers!! and asking them to give away artwork is not as easy as u think it is.. Making games is not easy, it requires a lot of manpower in a lot of different sectors.. a whole range of different programmers and a whole range of artists.. im not giving u a break up.. but understand this, that the industry is almost as HUGE as the film industry!! and serious in every aspect.. making games and playing games are totally different!!! basically, dev-ing games(that can stand shoulder to shoulder with major titles) takes a lot of effort and money, even when you are using OSS to dev it.. if you are rich enough and have the time, or just feel like doing it, you can, but there is no profit there.. ( come on now, don''t give me that look, you would still need some money to pay for the electric bill! + food! ) so developing games using Open source technology (maybe under the lgpl ~ eg. Ogre3d ) and selling them for a small amount can work.. What else can work? if you are hell bent on releasing your game as open source software.. Open source MMO's Games can work! why? make a game that is as solid as warcraft.. and release it to the world for free.. with free updates and everything.. but they have to pay to play online on some main servers.. a yearly subscription.. to keep the servers up.. to keep the developers cloth'd and in pizza.. or you can sell online content.. et cetera.. real estate.. oh, btw, this is already happening.. lol.. peace, yadu ps: might wanna check this out, its a free multiplayer online non violent typo game.. you walk around as a stag.. its really nice.. ~ http://tale-of-tales.com/TheEndlessForest/ On 11/10/2007, Kinshuk Sunil [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: A very simple business model that can work for open source gaming company's... being open source, implies the source code shall be freely available.. however the company can retain the game data... for example, the Quake engines have been open source, however... the Quake game data (PAK and PK3 files) are retained by the company... this way u can have an active community of modders and developers for your game and newer forks, however your game can make profits, provided its a good game to play... just my 2 cents :) Kinshuk On 10/11/07, Gaurav Mishra [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: On 10/8/07, Saleem Ansari [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Vikram Very nice info.

Re: [ilugd] [Gaming] Open source FPS games
A viable business model is to keep the code separate from the actual 'content'. You give your game engine away for free; but charge for binary content packs that add a storyline, or offer an online multi-player service, for example. this is exactly what is happening right now.. except the code is not open (neither the engine code nor the game logic )... hmmmf.. -- dA Gallery ~ http://yadu.deviantart.com/gallery home ~ http://www.theangrypixel.com ~ http://www.theangrypixel.com/forum LinkedIn ~ http://www.linkedin.com/in/yadurajiv ___ ilugd mailinglist -- ilugd@lists.linux-delhi.org http://frodo.hserus.net/mailman/listinfo/ilugd Next Event: http://freed.in - September 28-29, 2007 Archives at: http://news.gmane.org/gmane.user-groups.linux.delhi http://www.mail-archive.com/ilugd@lists.linux-delhi.org/

I think true multi-OS gaming will only start off when gaming engines are truly dissociated from the actual game, and gaming engines are open sourced(perhaps like the ioquake3 project Vikram talked about). Right now, the big engine developers are selling their engines to other game developers. If these engines were open sourced and ported to Linux, games would flood the linux market. Once the underlying technology is separated from the creative side, gaming would probably be what it truly should be - all about the story.
