Reply to Costs of doing business that are still surprising in Personal Computing Sins Forums

[quote who="Charvel1" reply="26" id="2371615"] [quote]That's pretty much it in a nuthsell.

Reply to Diplomacy is the last micro expansion. in Sins of a Solar Empire Sins Forums

[quote](3) They want to start working on Sins 2 or some other new product.[/quote] This is what I'm guessing. It could be like what happened with Guild Wars. When that development team sat down to do their fourth expansion, there was so much they wanted to do that instead they rolled things forward into a sequel.

Reply to First Look at Fences Pro in Personal Computing Sins Forums

Reply to Stardock coding practices in Elemental Dev Journals Elemental Forums

I really like to see these sort of things. Please publish more. :) I'm not as familiar with C/C++ environments as I'd like to be. I have been developing in a Lotus Notes/Domino environment for various companies for over ten years now and most of those concepts still resonate with what I do. Couple of suggestions: Document the WHY not the HOW. Any programmer should be able to read the HOW in the code, but I need to know WHY this code was done this way. This

Reply to EA actually listened! in PC Gaming Sins Forums

A disk check? So I'll need the CD in my drive when I play? Not good enough. Call me back when they've got NO DRM just the same as SINS or Demigod.

Reply to A sad future for a great game in Demigod Demigod Forums

I'm sure that will happen as soon as Valve releases Half Life on Impulse. Impulse isn't very different then Steam anyways. If you like Steam, then what's your hesitation over Impulse?
