Nexiuz on Codename: Crystal Tiger

[suicidalgamer]

When we say homebrew, we mean that you can make your own games for it with no hacks. Also, I'm sorry for the errors, the website was quite rushed and will be redone soon.

Well I, for one, wish you good luck in your venture.

I've been in business for about 35 years and from the description you've given I'd say the most difficult thing in your new business isn't going to be the development, the tesing, the contracts or anything else... it'll be selling because, frankly, it's ALWAYS the selling. It almost doesn't matter how good a product is... without effective selling it won't matter a damn.

I mean... Windows instead of xenix/unix/linux??? come ON!!!

Anyway, once again, good luck mate

Where did you get the idea that we're using Windows?

Where did you get the idea that we're using Windows?

Er... I didn't... that wasn't my point.

I was simply pointing out that if the quality of the product was the most important thing then Unix/Linux would be more popular than Windows. Windows has succeeded not by being the best product but by being sold more effectively.

Sorry, I didn't notice that the two paragraphs were connected. And that is a very good point. That's why we're going for the very best indie games, and have hired a marketing specialist who is currently building a plan for us. You'll notice when is his plan begins to unfold, trust me . We're trying to get quality and effective marketing.

You know what...
After reading the name of your "company", if I can call it that already, I remembered the suicide mod I made for SoF2. Yesterday I had about half an hour free and redid it for Nexuiz. I must say, it's quite fun to walk around blowing people up by suiciding and firing yourself instead of a rocket.
Might be an idea to include such game mode for this console if it comes through, some kind of game mode that is typically for the "producer", just like People Can Fly Studios did with Painkiller

EDIT: cheers, this is my second post and I signed up about 6 months ago, damn I'm good...

That would be great! This is the point (or one of the points) of the console! If you have a new idea for a mode in a game, you can make it! And since it's been okayed to have Nexuiz on the console, we might put the mod you made with it (if it's liked by several people of course).

Err... seems your hardware specs are now totally different...

http://www.freewebs.com/crystaltiger/cr ... mation.htm

* A custom CPU with 4 dual-threaded cores running at about 2 Ghz, and a PowerPC co-processor running at 450MHz
* A custom GPU with 64MB RAM with FSAA 16x, OpenGL ES 2,and automatic texture compression for quick loading
* A 120 GB hardrive running at 7200 RPM with an 8 MB cache
* 512 MB of shared RAM running at 500 MHz
* A wireless/wired controller with rumble and motion sensing technologies, with possible microphone/speaker and-on in the future

Sure we're still talking about the same thing? Nexuiz as-is won't run on such a system. And where do you get the hardware? The "custom CPU" somehow sounds like a cut-down version of the Sun Niagara CPU... which may actually suck at gaming, giving that there's only *one* floating-point unit for the whole thing, not one floating-point unit per core...
