Steve Jackson Games Forums - View Single Post - Working on a Vehicle Builder for CW myself

MongolHorde · 08-31-2004, 09:42 PM

Hi. I am currently (sporadicly) working on a VB.NET project, which is going to be a vehicle designer for CW. It is using the numbers from the Uncle Als Catalog from He**. Initialy, it is only going to allow designing cars, and will (likely) only use the basic body types (compact, mid-size, luxury, pickup, and van) and the basic equipment. It'll be as close to the pocket box CW as I can recall it.

First question: If I (someday before the heat death of the universe) complete this, and wanted to release it as freeware, would SJ Games allow this, or should I shut up now and just do this for myself?

Second question: If I am allowed to release this, would anyone be interested? If so, would anyone be willing to assist in the project, if I start up a page on SourceForge?

Needless to say, #2 depends on the answer to #1. If anyone is interested in how I am currently going about this, let me know, and I'll post details here.

Thanks,
Jason A.
