Eminent Posted August 16, 2004 Report Share Posted August 16, 2004 I'm aware of the fact that this probably is a stupid question, but I'm wondering whether or not, your Prometheus engine is homemade? I'm wondering about this, due to the fact that Prometheus also is the name of Gamebryo's engine.Other than that am I wondering how you plan to beta 0 A.D. I'm not interested in a date, but rather your methods, if you want to share them that is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CodeOptimist Posted August 16, 2004 Report Share Posted August 16, 2004 Yes, the Prometheus engine is completely 'homemade', so to speak. Everything has been coded by us, excluding libraries and dependances, of course. We have recently become aware of the naming conflict, and are searching for a solution.The beta test is still a long ways off. I do know that it will be a closed beta as we want to keep prerelease versions out of public hands. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wijitmaker Posted August 17, 2004 Report Share Posted August 17, 2004 Here is a FAQ for the beta:http://www.wildfiregames.com/0ad/viewtopic.php?t=177If you have more questions, let us know! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aeros Posted August 17, 2004 Report Share Posted August 17, 2004 I'm wondering about this, due to the fact that Prometheus also is the name of Gamebryo's engine.Yeah, we recently found that out too We're checking into it to see if theres going to be any legal issues or anything. Eitherway, it won't effect the outcome or quality of the game, so you have nothing to worry about on that front Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Argalius Posted August 21, 2004 Report Share Posted August 21, 2004 You could name your engine Prometheus Firep. Just a thought with a mythilogical (SP?) background Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tonto_Icy_Tripod Posted August 21, 2004 Report Share Posted August 21, 2004 Or just, "The Jason Dance" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aeros Posted August 21, 2004 Report Share Posted August 21, 2004 lol alex, you still remember that joke? 0AD is built from the ground up using our own "A small jig performed by Jason" EngineWe just have to honor that with a cheat code Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dnas Posted August 22, 2004 Report Share Posted August 22, 2004 That would be funny.Maybe have the result of the cheat be Jason appearing as a unit and performing "a small jig" to attack. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aeros Posted August 22, 2004 Report Share Posted August 22, 2004 Hehe, we don't haven't finished the game yet we're already planning cheat codes Nah, most likely you would type "A small jig performed by Jason" and then a funny Gif-like animation would apear on the screen for a while ala Tappy, the tap dancing kitty which is my avatar.One things for sure, 0AD's cheat codes will have style Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeru Posted August 22, 2004 Report Share Posted August 22, 2004 Has anyone seen the Seinfeld episode in which Elaine dances in front of a camera?(Not an attempt to compare Jason's dancing skills with those of Elaine from Seinfeld. I'm sure he's a very good dancer compared to her - heck, anyone's a very good dancer compared to her!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarkT Posted August 22, 2004 Report Share Posted August 22, 2004 That would be funny.Maybe have the result of the cheat be Jason appearing as a unit and performing "a small jig" to attack.Yes!
