Quick Dev Question

[MrElix3r]

Why would you pick Unity of all engines to reconstruct the source code? I've seen quite a few games get broken over the years by engine patches. So what sense does it make to trap yourselves with Unity? Why wouldn't you just reconstruct the source code with C++ or something you have FULL CONTROL over instead of being at the whim of an engine?

I'm not attempting to insult, it's a serious question. I've been waiting for a KP remake for ever and using Unity is like the worst possible decision you could make since everyone has been waiting on a source code release.

I'll copy and paste this into the 3drealms discord.....not sure if they'll answer, but you got better chances for an answer there.

Well, that was quick....an answer from two.

IIRC because the only way you can get a license for the quake 2 engine requires the dev in question to make the game open source, its just not ideal for 3DR or Interplay

slipgate fellas are already familiar with unity anyway so it's safe to trust them to use it

^ that and youl still need a license for the console versions. and we have tried that multiple times over many years. they are not interested in giving out licenses

hey mate i dont use discord but could you please ask if they would re-try to get Soldier of fortune license to remaster it -- short story i asked many months ago got a few replies and i love how 3dr are interested in SoF but they said its up to Activision. however i would love to see if they could re-try again.

thank you.
