Re: sci-fi horror game
The engine is a separate project and is on a MIT licence and the
sources of the game will be GPL in about 3 months.
That's not a problem, the changing of the font and the cleaning of the
package, we may also compress it with xz.
I'll ask about the lossy files, the render of the text at runtime I
think it will be a problem, the lite engine don’t even supports video,
the game was made with the wme - only available for m$ OS, latter then
came wme lite for Unix but it uses the proprietary BASS library for
audio and doesn’t support some functionalities, not to mention that
the actual editing as to be made with win because the tools are not
ported...
If someone is interested in helping the engine get up and running see:
