Guardian Posted February 20, 2004 Report Share Posted February 20, 2004 I've been meaning to ask- with all the publicity O A.D. is getting, have you ever thought of getting a publisher? This just seems a bit- crazy:). You deserve some cash for all this work, afterall! And its obvious you're way ahead in the Game dev. field, so setting yourselves up will be all-too easy- you could be well on your way to making game after game before you even graduate (from university, or high school:)). Ye'gods, this Roman smily is amazin. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shogun 144 Posted February 20, 2004 Report Share Posted February 20, 2004 Hmmmm....... Well this kind descion is up to the project leader Jason Bishop. I am certian someone will see this idea and perhaps pm Jason about it. Oh and I agree with you the Roman smilie is amazin, but did you know there is a celtic one too?

Quacker Posted February 20, 2004 Report Share Posted February 20, 2004 * How much will 0 A.D. cost?Nothing. 0 A.D. will be completely free, and made available through Internet download.* Are you *crazy*?Absolutely. But we have our reasons:1. There is a greater opportunity for exposure if it's free.2. We want the freedom to upgrade, patch or mod at any time without first clearing it with our publisher.3. We are not restricted to a publisher's deadlines, or their instructions about what we can or cannot do.4. No legal problems. We can for example utilise certain third-party libraries without having to pay licensing fees.5. We have a very honest and up-front approach. Our staff contribute for the sheer pleasure and experience of it, not for the sake of a salary. We put our hearts and souls into the game, and that will ultimately lead to a better quality product. http://wildfiregames.com/0ad/viewtopic.php?t=164That's why we aren't using a publisher or making any money.

ZeZar Posted February 21, 2004 Report Share Posted February 21, 2004 How about ADS? In games, and on page? Making money of that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Posted February 21, 2004 Report Share Posted February 21, 2004 HECK NO. That would be so annoying. I can stand adds on P2P programs, let alone a video game. It would drive me nuts! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZeZar Posted February 21, 2004 Report Share Posted February 21, 2004 Its true. BUT rather some ADS than NO internet service Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
