One could be maybe the coder needs icons or turfs or something and can pay the icon artist. That would be about it that I can think if.

I agree. I have more than one game coming just so when I get tired or bored of one I move to the other.

I donated a bunch of money to a few games I used to play, I bought a subscription to HrH, I payed SenorMofo $10 for Blessed Lands, I mean... I loved those games.

Heh, my MMORPG is essentially vapourware. I don't expect that I'll ever get it done, or even mostly done. Python has a really bad point about it, when converted to executables the files are massive. | |

Does anyone know why, exactly? Well, when sending a python file, you also have to send a few dlls with it otherwise the exe wont run, thats another disadvantage. | |
More people will make games and put them on BYOND. I mean, people worked hard on some of these games, and they would like to get something out of it. For some things(like some of the demos), though, i think money shouldn't be allowed.

Most are combined into the exe im pretty sure, but python has quite a few files which you would have to include into a zip, or put into an installer with it.

Python .exe files are large because those aren't actually compiled programs, as such; they're actually the Python interpreter itself and the compiled bytecode of the Python program, plus a bit of extra code to start it up, all embedded in the one file.
But hey, what's a few extra megabytes when it's so much quicker and easier (and more fun) to program in than, say, C++? =) | |
