Re: Releasing Source Code =/= Higher Sales

Blood source release would be awesome to finally get a proper release. Maybe Lucius will one day finish his LX variant. Carmack, in more ways than one, did the "right thing", so to speak. But at least we have BloodGDX for modern Windows systems. It really is first class, and v0.780 has just been …

If I was the prime minister (of Great Britain), then one of the many changes I'd make would be too encourage software companies to release their source code free to the public after a suitable period of time. I don't mean I'd force them to, of course, it would be their choice, but I'd offer tax …

Now I am not sure if Carmack did the "right thing"... Epic Games never released their source code to Unreal 1, Tournament 2, 3, and they are still independent. I think releasing the source code would be good, but it would be highly obsolete and with planned obsolescence, it would mean a lot of …

But yea Java works in any environment, linux, mac, etc. and AvP 2, Blood and NOLF is Monolith Productions and I am afraid we wont get the source code until after …

Honestly it feels no different than 0.74 SVN has significant improvements in compatibility compared to 0.74. ECE adds some additional, very useful features. YP80 hasn't added any whiz bang changes that initially smack you in the face, but if you enable MT-32 emulation, or the improved Nuked OPL3 …

For beginners or those not well up on DOXBox, it can be difficult to know which DOSBox version is best, so they probably end up just using the now pretty old version 0.74. But a faster build, with the best (or most commonly used, or whatever) of the new features would be very enticing and easy to …

If anyone has $1k, the guy from Flat Rock Software aka Soft-disk is selling the IP, that way we can release the source code and have another part of id software on sale and history

Releasing Source Code =/= Higher Sales

its weird how when id software releases their source code to games, it didn't have a bigger sales impact as people were buying their games a second time? Daikatana the worst game of 2000, was actually made playable through source ports, and yet isn't still raking revenue, unlike Deus Ex who never …

Re: should dosbox have been invented?

Posted on 2017-09-22, 14:41

If the port was strictly non-commercial then the publishers couldn't sell it either and there'd be no benefit for them to commission its creation. If the port was commercial, no-one's going to work on it for free. If your concern is that one day Dosbox may no longer function either, well yeah, …
