would you be intrested in letting some of the players help or do all the work on rebuilding the Game D&L.
there was only a few thing the game needed a good combat rework.
i think a system like in AOC would be cool.
and some work on everthing else.
I hope you do not hate the Game Pix or the fan base that a gime with your work had so many people dreaming of this game.
would you be willing to finnish the game if you get the chance?
or willing to let a 3rd party finish it?
maybe sell the use of your part to someone like SOE in part with NPcude selling out there parts?
I can still Dream of a Big world bame with Vworld

I doubt anything will be done with the DnL code, it'd probably be too hard to understand and too buggy to be worth spending the time fixing.
BTW any "fan-made" game of this magnitude (MMO) is more or less doomed to failure. It's not really something you can do as a part time thing. It's nice to dream and all but to do it properly you're going to need a company, full-time employees and a lot of money.
On the other hand if another MMO company wants to use VWorld then I'd be interested to see what they can come up with
Why would I "hate" Dark and Light? I've been a developer for more than 20 years now. A part of my job is to make games (but not only), certainly not to hate them.
What's the idea? Get the source codes of Dark and Light and work on them? Re-open a server? Trying to find funding for this? Tell me about your vision, then.
Thanks.
No, it's not only a flight sim
Current Work In Progress
DnL, I got ideas on how DnL could start small and work up to what it drempt of being. Oh how I wish I could build the game all by myself so that only I could ruin it.
If this is a typo, it's the best typo ever (if not, I don't grasp the humour in your post, so please just ignore this).
Why someone would want to rebuild Dark and Light is far beyond me, though. Except for finally getting the cloth map, that is
Oh I whole heartedly agree with you. DnL was downright aweful. My initial comment excluded context.
The only fun I had was flying a dragon from top to bottom of the map. The sheer novelty of that was the only thing I liked about the game.
That aside, the game hinted at something I was curious about. All the waiting drove up an expectation that no game including DnL comes close to. Now, I'm stuck looking at future releases of games and feel like there's just this gaping hole that was created by the run up to DnL's failed release.
There are some *ideas* that Dark and Light offered that were great...
Atmospheric flight - From a technical standpoint this is a great accomplishment. It was certainly one of the coolest features of the game.
Massive world - Was it too big? I actually tend to believe that the world size could work with better optimization.
The two features are really solid. The graphics need a major overhaul. The animations need a major overhaul. Just about everything in the game needs a few years of hard development to be functional at a pay to play level.
A few guys on their off-time would be hard-pressed to pull it off.
I do think that someone needs to take the ideas offered in Dark and Light and make the game the right way.
Tecmo Bowl.
This is against the law and theft of intellectual property from NP3Cube. Pixel has no right to do this.
Dark and Light is still alive. I think it's being developed in China.This is a place where people actually work hard on games and don't quit just because they greedy. And then even get more greedy.
I'm fairly certain ZtyX is a troll. Report him for trolling?
