Res Gestae :(

[dvk901]

Well, I guess it's official. Res Gestae is dead. Dang..if only they had listened!

[rory o'kane]

i thought they'd been dead for AGES?

Well, there was a glimmer of hope that Dave the Hun could finish it, but for some reason, they lost most of their units, or Prom lost them....or maybe just wouldn't give them up. I don't know. But it's history now.

I'm amazed at how many modders lose hundreds of hours of work for want of a $50 backup drive...

So we can't use any of their units?

good idea that

[tone]

No, Prometheus said quite categorically that he didn't want his work borken up - he'd rather it was lost than used in anything other than a full release of Res Gestae. Sad!

shame that, i've just been in the RG forum and the animations in the top sticky look awesome

Maybe this is a silly idea, but what if we bought it off him? I'd be willing to chip in, I'm sure we could raise a bit of cash. True artists like him are usually both A) wildly irrational and B) broke...

[dvk901]

But you forgot something else: C) irrationally egotistical and, D) bloatedly proud. Ultor and I almost begged him to give us the skins, but he insisted the ONLY way they would be used was with HIS concept of Res Gestae and that WE FINISH IT.

Actually I think this is extremely selfish. At least giving the to other mods, hey actually get to be played and enjoyed be suffocated in some dingy hard drive. Yes this makes them sound like people , but seriously, I think it's plain selfish.

[cherryfunk]

Well dvk, if you want to make an offer to purchase the work, I'm happy to chip in $50 if you think it's worth a shot. Maybe he'll sell it?

[spirit_of_rob]

Im not expert by any means but i think that might cross the line into illegal.. basically he is making money on what is for all intents an purposes CAs game... I know mods arent allowed to be sold so i think this is a dodgy area

[spirit_of_rob]

[cherryfunk]

Oh, yeah... sure, just joking... oh, dvk, you should get your check on Friday.
