a poem by my computer, Macintosh Vigilante
Macintosh amends a damned around the requested typewriter. Macintosh urges a scarce design. Macintosh postulates an autobiography. Macintosh tolls the solo variant. Why does a winter audience delay macintosh? The maker tosses macintosh. Beneath female suffers a double scum. How will a rat cube the heavier cricket? Macintosh calls a method. Can macintosh nest opposite the headache? Macintosh ties the wrong fairy. When can macintosh stem the land gang? Female aborts underneath macintosh. Inside macintosh waffles female. Next to macintosh worries a well.

I'm often asked why I hate Microsoft - "What did they ever do to you?". Well, I'll tell you. They made dodgy programs and standards which have wasted hundreds of hours of my time involving lost work in crashes and stupidity.

Got my 9600 today.
This driver hasn't crashed once with it, so that's pretty nice.
Getting ~1200 FPS in glxgears. That's not great but it'll do me alright.

UPDATE: bzflag runs brilliantly, only problem now is my internet connection for playing online (satellite broadband -> high ping)... Still, works great over the local network. PPracer, foobilliard and neverball (excellent game) run great too.

I myself am a game developer, so my opinion may count more...

I plan to release my game in stages:
First 6 months, it will be 40 bucks under a proprietary license
Next 6 months, it will be 20 bucks under same license
Next 6 months, it will be released under the GPL (still 20 bucks for a cd, and old copies aren't changed to GPL)
Next 6 months, BSD-style license.

New version every 12 months

Release under Winshit, GNU/Linux, *BSD, Mac and every console I can find has the power.

Wait for it. It will be big.

Are you serious?

Why are you planning to keep changing the licence?

I'm more interested in the game, what sort of game is this?

same... and it won't be big unless you work for a major company like Atari, Sierra, EA games, etc. :p

oh, and good luck getting it ported to everything - that process can be harder than making the game itself. :thumbup:

He didn't. it's common sense that companies who change their licenses usually are full of shit. :D

It makes sense to me:
The only ones who have to pay a ton are those who want it immediately. You can then get it cheaper, then free (both as in freedom and cost).
It's essentially the same as the Quake/Doom software, except announcing it ahead of time.

I'll do my best to make it big, and that will take time. Expect it in 5-10 years. And yes, the porting is hell on earth. The XML-based engine will be awesome, though. No more details other than that it will be a first-person sci-fi shooter.

Note: If I end up completely forgetting about the project and/or get transferred to another division, it won't appear.

Doom and Quake aren't totally free, only the source code is, the rest (graphic artwork and sound) is under a more restricted license.
