Shaw's Nightmare

[mickey96]

My topic named "Will 3D Realms publish my game" was obsolete.

So I started a new topic. It's been a while since I haven't logged in into this forum.

I forgot the discribe the game and plans for it.

My plans:
It will be published by 3D Realms.
Be DOS-based because I felt that it's easier to program in DOS than in Windows.
It will use the Build Engine. (probably Doom engine).

I'm currently programming it but I've got some problems.

As I wrote in the other thread, I'm still not sure that 3DRealms is the right entity to ask about publishing. AFAIK, in most 3rd party games relating to 3DRealms IPs, 2K Games is the publisher, while 3DRealms was the producer. And I wrote "was" because I'm not even sure that 3DRealms is even working as a producer anymore, after Radar Group was started.
If I were you, since your game will use DOS, I'd ask either Valve (but then people would need to use Steam to run your game) or GOG.com, which would publish your game through digital delivery and release it with DosBox attached.

Okay, I will ask Ken about it.

You could always ask the new Apogee, too.

Im amazed that you are going to publish a game you made on your own. Can i ask whats the progress of the game so far, and did you make it all on your own?
I'm going to tell a story about this game: Nuno joined the project but quit after getting angry. Then I made EXEs of my own but they didn't work right. Then I posted a thread on the MPC Forums to look for someone for the project to write a new game engine, still DOS. Then recently I announced I will form a team called Miliclan. So the progress of the game is quite slow.

What kind of games would the new Apogee be interested in publishing?

I don't know - ask them. I'm not them.

I have an idea!

Why don't you call your game "Final LITF: The Plot of Steel"?

WHAT?! Why would I merge Shaw's Nightmare into a Prince of Persia mod? That changes the concept as well.
