  1. Sometimes we loose track of whats going on in the forums (like how no ones replied here yet) but normaly we answer pretty much every question, I supect both dof and 0ad will be modable to a similar level which is alot. About the decay it was pretty much just an arbitrary decision by me, I had just implimented semitransparent units at the times so it was most on my mind, the units also flatten them selfs as they decay, and were probably gonna add skeletons left behind
  2. I'm not sure xbox2 will have any big changes infact they may just update there processors toss a little more memory in and be done with it. Reverie is doing fine though are graphics department is disorganized as always, ya the forums has some error in it you can get on if you go to the seperate log in page at the top, after you log in it will still give you an error but now if you got the main forum page again and refresh you will be loged in
  3. Nintendo doesn't aim really for children they just like to make more artsy and less realistic games, now GBA does aim for kids more, but if they wanted to do it for game cube they've done a poor job with never making a pokemon rpg for it (well I hate pokemon I kind a would like them to do it just to increase there consol base and attract more 3rd party developers) The xbox is the best value for your money PC, As a consol its only mascaraiding. Its essentialy a mini pc internaly, the draw of the other consols (the reason any one bothers to make consols) is that there easier to make games for and cheaper to manufacture then pc's, but that said xbox has a lot of power but like pcs its not taped into very easily thats why well the xbox has a 500mhz cpu and the gamecube has a 200mhz cpu (these are the figures I can recall don't quote me) xbox games really don't look any better then gc games or do more advanced ai or physics for that matter. I whish you could easily get a regular OS working on the xbox then you would have an extremely cheap computer open to people that might not have afforded on before. Microsoft loses over 100 dollars on every consol and there not making enough money on games to make up for it (last time I heard). So xbox is just this kind of money pit for microsoft, good PR or something. And don't get me started on ps2 and its crazy co-vector unit architechure. Thats stuff is a montrosity to try and program for. Xbox- seperate cpu and gpu though unified memory I belive Ps2- cpu along with a few special math proccessers that make it a pain in the @#$% to do any thing with Game Cube- Only one proccessor and one memory easy as hell to make games for.
