I signed up there and meant to respond, but I guess the topic got deleted or just sunk away or something.<BR/><BR/>But my point is that the SFGHQ crowd are a community built around a certain kind of fangaming project, which is drastically different from what ProSonic wants to make possible. I would posit that ProSonic's model of fangaming would be a lot more inviting to people who aren't interested in reinventing new engines (and similar things) and ultimately has the potential to promote more and better fangames in general, as it seems to be able to accomodate people of any skill level and give them the tools to make something cool.<BR/><BR/>Sorry if I'm covering treaded ground, I've only skimmed the SFGHQ discussions on it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22706041.post-1162002069591743042006-10-27T21:21:00.000-05:002006-10-27T21:21:00.000-05:00I have never seen you being openly modest, and wha...I have never seen you being openly modest, and what I have seen leads me to believe otherwise. Call it promotion if you will, but if thats the case then your breed of promotion and modesty simply are polar opposites.<BR/><BR/>And asking people in the real world doesn't help at all.

That is the same reason I left FUS in the first place as well. I know, and dislike these 'Elitists'. It doesn't matter how good you do, somebody will always point out the bad in everything. Saxman is trying to promote his project, and make it look worth using, and I am all for all for. Think about this.. What if there was an ad on TV... "We garauntee that our product is NOT the best." How much attention would that get? Even less than 'Head-On'.<BR/><BR/> Note that most of these elitist don't know the first thing about programing anyway.<BR/><BR/>Nice work, Saxman, and the project shows excellent potentail.

This is a very, very ambitions project. Surely there's no point in starting a project this ambitious, and then being humble about the intentions.<BR/>2.) Damian appears to be using these statements as project goals, and as such I would guess that if this project ends up being anything other than "The Sonic Engine to End All Sonic Engines", he will feel it has failed.<BR/>3.) He has made no claims as to the strength of GAO encryption, but stated that he is curious as to how long it can hold up. The offer of getting to test a beta version of ProSonic seems to be more an effort to drum up interest in cracking his encryption than to promote himself in any way.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22706041.post-1161643309434740972006-10-23T17:41:00.000-05:002006-10-23T17:41:00.000-05:00Look, whatever, but that's the impression you gave...Look, whatever, but that's the impression you gave me lad.
