Since the number of commercial games is rising lately, would it not be a good idea to make a split. I've seen the question asked in some threads, but I could not find an actual topic about it. So here it is.
First an for all I do want a discussion if AGS games should be commercial or not. There are some older threads about it and it's a completely different subject anyway. I will write you my opinion about it though. I myself own one commercial game, "Al Emmo and the Lost Dutchman's Mine". I loved the Tierra kingsquest remakes so I decided to go for it. They've put a lot of effort in making it. so it's worth giving something in exchange. I mean it's great that are non-commercial games like "a tale of two kingdoms", wich was great and even finished to a greater detail than most older commercial adventure games.
Anyway the question is wo would agree to it would be a good thing to create to create a "finished commercial games anouncements" in the forums and "commercial games" on the main page. So people can choose wether they are interested or not. It would put a bit more attention to them too, I'd think.
A little side idea which occures to me is that those commercial games could sponsor AGS too. I mean Chris Jones is putting a lot of energy and as far as I know even money (which is just materialised energy in my opinion) in it to give it away freely. But he ought to have the license changed then (free for non commercial use) and that's something he has to decide.
Write me what you think. I'm curious.
