The real problem is the creator's stubbornness in not including others in his effort. Even if he doesn't want to release the source he should put some effort into making components pluggable so that others can do the boring work of, say, refactoring the UI.
- VLM 11y agoIts a conceptual continuity issue. Like claiming the Mona Lisa would have been a better painting if the painter abstracted the girl out so Bob Ross could paint the trees in the background.
- logfromblammo 11y agoYeah, well, the original developer never got the frame rate high enough for Mona Lisa to ever actually be playable.
- ixtli 11y ago:( though I can't quite prove you wrong this is a sad way of looking at things. I believe that the creators of DF could easily maintain the creative integrity of the project and at the same time include others in the more technical platform specific stuff. Edit: Actually, my evidence is dwarf therapist. I don't think i could play the game without it and it is evidence of two things: 1) the default interface is broken in some serious ways, 2) the game is so good that people will go to really _insane_ lengths to mod it to make it playable. The community is in fact participating, but the creators are making it more difficult than it needs to be with all the source closing.
