Hi Chris,

I partly agree with you viewpoint, however I have seen lousy games engines
being made interesting with features, beautiful graphics, the possibility
for innovative cross-player dialogues, and a pleasent interface. However
this is not what I am here to discuss.....

I send the letter to see how many people would be interested in joining this
project, because I believe, and have seen many times, that a group of people
has the ability to create what one man has no chance of achieving alone, but
again I begin rambling....

I agree that the programming is the easy part - not the same as easy!! - but
that is excactly why I think we could all benefit from pulling our efforts
together. This project is non-profit, so I am not looking for slave workers,
all will be a part of this and all will be equally credited. I hope you will
consider joining, you can always walk away later.

Again if anyone besides those that have already voiced their interest is
intrigued please e-mail me at shadow@provinsen.dk I will put a web site up
within a week and the group may start working.
