Oh, a game made enterily of programmers…
Guess the game won’t have any content.

If someone comes up with an inventive, interesting game that might sell well, will you also publish to the win32 platform? That might be a good way to recoup loses incurred by publishing the GNU/Lunix version.

I’m still a little skeptical (or is that cynical?), but in essence this is a good idea. Getting arty folk on board sooner is advisable based on my limited experience though – they tend to have better ideas and visualisation skill than us lowly coders…

If a development company were to approach LGP with a complete or near-complete non-small game which has a Linux version and is unpublished on any platform and is attractively original and interesting to LGP, could they expect a publishing deal from LGP that is competitive or superior to the one offered here?

I think this is what Linux gaming has needed for a while now: more truly original games for the platform; not just ports of Windows games. Who knows how successful the project will be, but I’m hoping for the best.

P.S. *Please* let it be an RPG! ;-)

This is one of the coolest ideas that I’ve seen for a long time! It’s too bad that I probably couldn’t contribute much. I’m not good for the coding side, other than testing software. But maybe I could whip up some sample music tracks with some friends?

Hmm I wonder if the source sample has to be actually buildable (i.e. with configure scripts and the like, dependent on other libs like SDL), or just a snippet that the LGP folks can look at and not necessarily run…anyone know?

LGP takes no risk and doesn’t provide any income for the developers during the development process. It is a project doomed to failure before it starts.
