I'm questioning the need for highly-optimized code these days, considering
the power of the hardware available. I would say a majority of hardcore
gamers have the PII(I) or similar chips, tons of RAM, and good video... I'm
not saying we can bloat without care, but I think what programmers need to
concentrate on these days is playability/concept. What do you guys think?
My other question is, can EUPHORIA be used to write that killer game?
Finally, I know there's TONS of room in the Linux community for the next
great thing, but I figure the DOS/Windoze market is a little harder to
enter, considering the powerhouses of EA, Interplay, etc...
What do YOU think?
