it seems like there's been no progress made in getting the source code released
what the hell does it mean?
TB there will be pros and cons, you must just hope that the pros outnumber the cons, so please just release the source code so this debate can be over, the people on the other side of the debate...
I want the source code, there are bugs I want to fix
This is good, there seems to be an erosion of the reasoning that would dissuade TB from choosing not to release it.
nothing is ever truly finished, and when one stops working on their own project, then it would seem as if they should allow someone else to pick it up
this is the best rogue-like ever created, and from the way it looks, it won't ever quite be finished without the players being allowed to do something with the source and continue on the legacy
ADOM will die if the source is not released, he already has too much stuff to do for him to ever get to changing any of the code in the near-distant future
I believe that trademarks would only disallow for the things to be called ADOM if it didn't meet whatever guidelines within the license or whatever
I don't think that would work very well, being a (former) modder just to cheat at the game, and everything can't be controlled so easily, information wants to be free
I'd like to say that I would feel crushed if I wasn't allowed to see the gleaming gem that is ADOM's source code, I can see that if the Dev group would be able to allow anyone to join if they are...
I enjoy that game dwarf fortress, but ADOM shouldn't be retooled to even resemble such a thing
it would be best to encourage expansion as long as it only goes in the direction of the original game, E.g.
1. No specific interest varients eg( cyberpunk,steampunk, ect)
2. only add things which...
I really don't see how the Angband effect could happen where the races,classes ect. are separated from the source code, that'd be discouraging to most novice modders who would make the kind of crap...
