Well that was fun... though it made my MBP (i7) a little too hot to touch on 1024x768 and the "Fast" render setting. It should run much better in Windows but damn. There don't seem to be any mods yet which is understandable given how young the game is, but that would be a huge draw. Even user-created maps would be enough to make Pokemon fans swoon. I hope the developers are making plans for the lawhammer though– this is much harder to sweep under the rug than hacked ROMs.
- w1ntermute 13y agoGiven that they are apparently quite skilled at game development, I would hope that they would have considered that when starting. Perhaps the server is hosted in a country out of Nintendo's reach.
- ics 13y agoSince they didn't mention it they're probably A) definitely screwed or B) very humble developers who do not wish to bait the wrath of Nintendo into whatever remote territory they (or their code) resides. B might be a little optimistic. Can you think of any countries where this would be protected (under some freedom of speech or fair use) for non-commercial interests? Note: The Pokémon Company alone has headquarters in Japan, the UK, and the US.
