I am relieved that this wasn't using fpsc.
Media has it in for indie games ?
I saw a news report on channel 4 in the UK that was basically trying to blacklist some games program, this is the deal, there are massive companies that control the media, and by that all media, video games included, now we get indies coming in that are not under their control, and they don't like that at all,
The news feature was basically trying to do a negative campaign on this virtual life type application, I can't remember its name, some program that you have a second life with, like a chat program thing but with walking avatars, I think it had virtual money and people had like some second life on it doing stuff, well they don't like that, that's influence that's not under their control, so they have to discredit it, they started saying that the game/application makers was under investigation into tax evasion, then that there was links with pedophilia.
Then they pretended they was doing a look at the program and what it can be used for, they cut to a university that was looking into schizophrenia, they used the program to show how a schizophrenic person interprets the world, and they had this avatar in the game moving around a house with a voice in the game saying kill yourself, and all this weird spooky stuff, then it showed an a gun on a table and it was saying kill and all this weird stuff. Basically they was trying to make this program with this second life internet thing look bad, linking it to tax evasion, pedophilia and that creepy thing some university will of got a grant to make, that's a grant by the same people that run the media. So in all making it look bad.
When I first saw this post I thought, is the same happening with FPSC, an application that allows indies to make games, by themselves without investment for big media owned publishers, for massively expensive game engines, can't have that, free expression, not under our control, might get indie devs having influence in the world, free from our us running the shop, best discredit that program pronto, but it looks like it might be debatable that it uses FPSC, Im in the UK so I haven't seen FOX so I can't comment on what this report uses.
