Title: Sell Tremulous 2.0.0
Post by: Killjoy#1 on October 25, 2007, 05:14:21 pm
Well I know everyone may hate this Idea but the Tremulous developers need money to make a game. So why not make Tremulous Into a real buy-able game? Theres no need to have lvls on the game just aply the new bot mod to the game for people who dont want to play online (or dont have it. Well its just a suggestion that could make the game come out sooner and mabe make this a real power house game. Anyway theirs games with map & event download so tremulous map updates could work.

Definitely.

If you mean releasing a game that has mods in it (Balance, Unlagged, etc.), then it's no different from commercial expansion packs.

If you mean releasing a game that is a modified version of the Quake3 engine, then it's no different from the dozens if not hundreds of commercial games running off a modified Unreal engine.

YOU FAIL LIKE THAT SAD EXCUSE FOR A YOUR MOM JOKE!

But seriously, notice how EA dishes out tons of buyable games that suck ass?
Tremulous is free and pounds anything Electronic Arts could even conceive making into the dirt like the pathetic shit it is.

Therefore proving one does not need money to make an A+ game.

wow you guys must be at least two years old. The people who made this game are in something called a business and last I heard you need money to run something like that. All of you complain about why 2. is not coming out when none of you even know what it takes. Well at least a few of you might.

Aside from the legal and financial problems associated with publishing a game, especially of an open source nature with many community-contributed patches, no respectful person would ever pay for a game with a community like Tremulous has.

Why the hell can't you just leave the community alone?

Do you have some sick disease which requires that you make an ass of yourself in public forums for video games?

Also, nothing will ruin Tremulous.

Why don't you just start earning some money by getting a job, instead of handing out good advice because you are not allowed to spend your dad's money?

@OP
iirc you need a commercial license from ID if you want to sell derivative works from their source.
I might be wrong as I never checked the exact license ID released the Q-source under, but I am pretty sure they forbade the sale w/o at least demanding some kind of royalty.

Post by: Taiyo.uk on November 08, 2007, 01:55:22 am
Just to clarify, ID has released the source to Quake, Quake II and Q3A under the GPL. Commercial projects can be developed on this code (i.e. free engine, commercial content). Those who wish to develop commercial engines from the Quake code (e.g. Half-Life engine) will need to arrange a licensing deal with ID.

For future versions of Tremulous to be commercial, this would require a complete rewrite of the current Tremulous content unless all of the authors can be contacted and agree to commercial licensing of their contributions.

Commercialisation will also escape the point of the project; to create a free game.
