got some time on your hands Thread

hey,
If you have some time on your hands and your wondering if there is anything that you can do to get something in return, check this out, if you help Purgatory Games in making their new mod, then they will give you five percent of the profits from it. and other rewards to come in the future as well. But hurry, there are limited spaces, so quick email now business@purgatorygames.com

hmm?

I do mapping, but no coding or modelling etc. do you think there'd be a place for me

You're doing a mod for Half-Life? Can I ask, how do you expect to make money from it when the license agreement states that you cannot sell the mods you make? And also, if we're talking about money, why is the website so badly designed? It does not look very professional.

I may be wrong (and I apologise if I am), but I strongly advise people not to join this project and be fooled by the promise of 5% of the profits.

Listen to the man. He's right on the money (pun intended).

I was seriously considering right until the point where commodus pointed out that mods dont make profit

thanx for the heads up

yea I wouldn't try to help them for one you can't sell mods and they don't look very professional.

12 y/o's?

I guess this what happens when McDonalds doesn't hire little drunken sailors or their lawnmower broke :/

Wow you guys are really harsh, c'mon these guys are what, 15, they have a fairly good website for teengers who have no real experience. as for the money thing, that was pretty damn stupid.

Sorry about bringing this back up, but how did Gunman Chronicles work if you cant sell a mod? thought that was on the HL engine...

I'll say I don't know anything about gunman chronicles.

But there are a ton of games that license game engines and make games off them, and they look jsut like mods, except they are done at a professional level. The point is they buy a license to use the game engine to sell and make a profit, if you don;t purchase the license then you're not allowed to make money off of it.

Now a company could buy the mod and then sell it (assuming it's the company that made the engine, or the company also buys the license to the engine)

I don't think that MR.pgamesbusiness is serious.

What if we did get Sierra to buy the mod? How many of you would work then?
