Uh..why is everything Wintermute? Fecking haxors.

[EDIT:]

Whoops. I jumped to conclusions. Just...okay. I'll go off to my corner now.

See CJ's announcement about a merger.

monkey0506 · Sat 01/04/2006 00:10:20

Woops...I just noticed that....hmm...I'll have to see about this.

edmundito · Sat 01/04/2006 00:13:03

CJ doesn't read this General Forum right? because let me tell you...

Spoiler

He's a sellout!

It definitely won't be the same. Change isn't always bad. I just hope this isn't.

Give CJ some credit. This change has been in the works for awhile, the AGS-3D plugin was merely an early version of it.

Hehe, The forum looks crappy and it's hard for me to read. Probably I'm to old or something. :-

[edit]
Oh, Btw you may want to have a look at this to get an idea of what's to come.

I'm upset with this. It's the same ***ing AGS elitism that makes you guys think you're too good to merge, and so it must be some kind of prank. Thank god pumaman is so much better than you.

you can keep using AGS if you want, but we're going to leave you all in the dust with WMGS.

IM NOT TEH SPAM · Sat 01/04/2006 04:05:51

Glad someone finally told me i was an elitest bastard...

Seriously, doesn't the date seem strange to you? and everyone else's reaction was negative x5...

For the record, i never heard of wintermute till today.

Maybe not, I'd heard CJ mentioning once, about software protections in agsedit.exe, that the binary will stop working from June, 2006. It's also sad news that setting the computer clock couldn't bypass this protection. Maybe I'll use a much better engine, Adventure Creator, instead.

Spoiler

If anyone is interested in hacking the executable to bypass the protection, please PM me, hope we can work together against this mess.
Shhhh... Don't let CJ know about this.

Jeez Nipper, no wonder Overlord is upset. http://www.dead-code.org/index2.php/en years and years of work, and you shit on it because of a silly holiday that amuses only the feeble minded?

Gregjazz · Sat 01/04/2006 04:36:49

Holy cow, I just clicked my shortcut to go to the AGS forums, only to see this! I thought it was some fluke or hackers or something, so quickly took a screenshot... looks like it isn't a fluke or hack, though (that'd have to be some big fluke!) -- gonna go read the announcement!

Desmond · Sat 01/04/2006 04:45:12

The thing about the Internet is that time zones have been throwing me off all day today...

I've stayed as quiet as possible about this, but while i kind of agree that this may be a good thing anyway, if Gilbot's said is true, then we won't be able to continue using the old AGS. Again, not exactly a bad or good thing, but change is change. Let's just hope we can adapt smoothly and efficently without,y'know,killing each other mercilessly

Grapefruitologist · Sat 01/04/2006 07:07:08

I looked it up, Wintermute is in the wiki, so it must exist.

Everything will stay the same, I'm sure...
Only thing I'm wandering about, we can still finish the games we've been working on in AGS, right?

Well yes, as long as you finish the games before the date for the software protection expires.

Don't miss the new homepage, it's really funny:

I know it looks like the regular blah blah, but look closer

Sam. · Sat 01/04/2006 07:51:49

I heard that CJ was dead.

WintermuteOverlord · Sat 01/04/2006 07:55:56

hehe, yeah, or celebratory drinks got a bit out of control.

He'll sleep off the Fosters though
