Yes but the question is you still haven't explained this 3 time compile free then $10 after that option, what is this?

If you bought the Standard or Professional Editions, the final executable, though bearing your game name, will have the PGPS icon and file information.

With the Developer Edition, I will re-compile the game executable with the game developer's own icon(s) and file info. I will do this three times before a $10 fee is charged for each successive time. (I've said many times that these fees are not set in stone and may be much less if not free)

I'm actually working now to make the final game executable re-compiled from within Phoenix itself so everyone will have the ability to change the icon and file info while processing their game. This will hopefully be available within a few updates.

That's what I'm working on now...The application itself (Phoenix) will compile the executable with the developer's icon and file version info. Until then, I have to do it "manually".

Keep in mind that the Developer Edition also includes the web-based registration system scripts for use on the developer's own server(s).

So I, as the end-user playing the game have to have an internet connection in order to play this game? (the game made by Programmer X say)

No, not at all. As the developer, you can set end-user registration (authorization) type to None, Offline or Online.

None: No authorization required

Offline: An encrypted file is created. The end-user is given a password (their email address is recommended) and they authorize their copy of the game Offline.

Online: The end-user connects to the internet to authorize the game. Then they can disconnect. It's a one-time event.

I've made a 6 Part video tutorial series covering every aspect of processing and packaging games with PGPS. Please check them out for more detailed information here.

Have you given this app out to any experienced users to test the claims that the software is extremely strong in terms of encryption? You make the claims it is strong but do you have some evidence to support this claim? It would be useful marketing material.

Over the last 90 days, twenty FPSC users and programmers have been involved in beta testing. Some of the programmers have used commercial de-compilers attempting to hack Phoenix...with no luck. Password, BruteForce applications do not work.

I have testimonials on file and on the old website that I will re-post for marketing purposes.

What is the skill base of these programmers as a matter of interest?

They are all users of DBPro, C, C++, VB, VB.NET, etc. and come from these forums. So I'd say they range from beginner to highly skilled. What's your skill base?

Um, I was re-reading this thread and have found a slight issue. It appears that DarkCoder has cracked the encryption 3-4 times...yet you failed to mention this earlier, were you attempting to mislead?

We're not talking about me now though are we...

DarkCoder cracked nothing. He simply accessed a file during a beta test. This has been well documented.

Since you don't know the difference between cracking, hacking and defeating, you have already shown everyone your lack of a skill base.

You came into this thread with an accusing thread comment. You've since then done nothing more than try to undermine my work. I already have the support of the FPSC community and there's nothing a jealous troll like you can do to change that. Whatever your motivation is, get over it.

Forgive me but I thought the purpose of this software was to encrypt media etc, but if he's accessed the file then doesn't that circumvent the software?

cheers,
