Once you have something to show they will also start to cry for sources.

Open Source app does not necessarily mean free-to-play, or other business options. Maybe think before bashing without reason.

Open source and free are not always synonymous. Applications can be open source while still being a commercial venture (as is Galactic Vice).

You might take that reply and use it on yourself. I simply rose the question on their source of income, no attack was made, unless you think '?' is an attack. Calm down a bit, you are trigger happy a lot recently.

Also, thanks Frost Bite for explaining your business plan a tad bit more. More info would be even better.

BFK for life... forever... I love it. (..referring to Roofus from Bum Fights..)

Hey guys, if you want someone to read between the lines ask me, I have impeccable intrinsic sense for realizing intent. I'm humble too. 8)

Questions are attacks to some people, one possible reason being that they just want to be the best and know everything. They don't want to explain anything to anyone, because it may expose their weaknesses.

Not relating this to anyone in particular.. just saying that a question can be interpreted as an attack by some people. Just giving your opinion can be an attack. I have had religious people blocking their ears and saying "la-la-la-la-la-la-la" very loudly and non-stop to avoid hearing any criticism of their religion. To avoid even being questioned!
They say, I believe and I don't want to hear anything bad about it. I just want to stay as an arrogant idiot.

At the same time, you know that "smart people are very good at rationalizing things they came to believe for non-smart reasons." (quoted from a Penn and Teller video)

Bit off-topic, but you guys brought it up!

Don't know if you even find your original post here. It's not that eloquent, and getting its real intention from just one character is quite hard. So I just extrapolated the general mood. So just do as you suggested yourself ("More info would be even better"), and there is much less confusion.

I acknowledge that it might have been far from being clear (albeit you and frost bite both guessed the implied question), yet enquiring about it instead of condemning might have gone smoother. You have by far given the most to this community, but I can't help but notice that recently you seem somewhat unnerved. Hopefully, it is me misjudging the most recent climate on these forums, but still, I doubt I am ever so wrong about this.

Well, back on topic: I just posted some new HD Gv desktop backgrounds. Here they are, Enjoy!

I should have a demo video of the parallax mapped terrain here soon.

I apologise for the double post.

The terrain system is now Deluxe Mapped (Phong + Bump Mapping + Relief Mapping), and supports any number of terrain textures.

The following video does not do the terrain system justice. As such I will be uploading some high-definition renders of the terrain.

Here is a demo video showing the new terrain system:

EDIT: Here are the high-definition screenshots.

I need to come up with a smoother way to transition from Lava -> Ground and visa-versa =)

I'd like to help with this project if I can. I have training in Photoshop, Illustrator, Maya, InDesign and I can learn virtually any others that I need to.
