Emp Engine 2010?

From TheRattle interview:

Does this mean the devs are contemplating a new engine for Empires? Or just that Boats are so far away that the source engine will be a dinosaur of FPS gameplay?

 

Change game engine??? NOO!! PLEASE DONT!!! Just think, you devs might have to start all over again!

 

That's just a fancy way to say that boats will NEVER show up.

 

Well if Empires continues to be developed in 2014, then I would hope they would change to a newer/better engine. That's like saying the goldsrc engine was the best and we should keep with it today.

 

Mods need to move on eventually or they stay in the dark ages.

 

I think the engine is alright. What needs to be done is jack up the quality of the game art, and polish up the balance.
It's not that HL2OB is ugly when used right.

 

That was a very nice interview btw.

 

#agree :p

 

+1 agree.

 

We actually have a thread on ships in the suggestion section : http://forums.empiresmod.com/showthread.php?t=6846

I also agree that in order to maintain a stream of new players, we have to keep up with technology, though each transition might not be a comfortable one

Also, could somebody link the interview?
