I’m very interested in the idea of making one or more of my games open source. Not the current big sellers, but maybe planetary defense, or Starship Tycoon. I’d be tidying up the source and preparing it this very instant if it were not for one big silly, embarrasing problem…<\/p>\n
The hard drive with the source for both games is in a PC that died.<\/strong><\/p>\n Now yes, theoretically somewhere I have a backup of it all, but how recent? I have no idea. and you would imagine there would be a disk carefully labelled somewhere that has “final retail release source for games” or other cunning description, but I’m just not that organised to be honest.<\/p>\n My motivations for open sourcing a game are 1) to see what people will do with the source and 2) promote my games!
