Ubisoft does not have a copyright on sub simulators, only on what they've produced, i.e., the Silent Hunter series.....I'm talking about making one from scratch. |
It would be awesome if it could be done, but I'm afraid the project would never be completed. How many of indie subsims under development have actually been released so far? None that I know of. For a thing like this to work, we'd have to be VERY official about it starting companies, employing coders, artists, management people etc, etc. The donations received would probably be gone before the company was even up and running. Sorry for being such a bore, but that's what I think would happen with a project like this.

Is there no way to get around these problems? I think that if no money is paid till the job is complete, it would motivate the devs to complete it, and would also reduce waste. People, devs included, tend to be more financially responsible when it is thier money they are spending...
Basically what I'm talking about here is contract work. No finished product, no money.
What do you think? Yes, difficult, but is it possible? |
No money no work. Catch 22.
Coders need groceries too.
