[MH-Razen]

lf-empire: marti?
Marti: hi
lf-empire: you remember mgccl?
Marti: oh. yes. from china
lf-empire: hm, this guy pleased me to help him telling you some stuff:
http://www.lf-empire.de/forum/showthread...38#pid7238

[...]

Marti: My answer will disappoint Mgccl
1. We don't want to open the source of LF2
2. We don't want to continue to develop LF2. we will focus on our new game
I hope people will have less interest on replicating LF2 after our new game is out
They are just too hungry for a new fighting game which can be played online
lf-empire: uoh, well I doubt this'll work
but in case you can't edit the game like LF2
can you?
Marti: don't get what u mean
lf-empire: well, in lf2 you can edit bitmaps and data, exe in some parts...
can you edit this in the new game, too?
Marti: i see
we won't allow
lf-empire: be sure?
Marti: but I have another idea
may hold competition for people to design character
lf-empire: erm, so you can create new stuff for the game...?
Marti: but it is too early to think about this
we want to create a game
which can be self updated
lf-empire: ok
Marti: the first step
is too get enough people playing first
if our new game is not popular
we may not continue to develop it
lf-empire: what will you do else?
Marti: and will focus on career again
don't know yet
may be work as a game developer
if I can choose
lf-empire: hm, would have asuggestion, but hope your new game will be good
Marti: I want to be my own boss
thanks!
what suggestion?
lf-empire: use the success of LF2 and update it so it's more up-to-date:
1. put commercial in it so you earn money
2. maybe create new stages so it's interesting again for single players
3. update the network-game so its faster
Marti: we are working on (1)
lf-empire: I know you don't know the source of lf2 that good anymore...
Marti: (3) may not possible
We will think of (2).
but probably not doing (2)
lf-empire: np for me ...
Marti: coz my trial period is limited

lf-empire: hm, other thing: more to say from your site to Mgccl?
Marti: I would like to say...
thanks him for still remember LF2 and willing to help
but we want to move on
hope that u guys can love our new game
lf-empire: ok
Marti: thanks!
lf-empire: hm, you will realese smaller game-versions of your new game, too?
like you did with LF2
v1.53, v1.71, and so on?
Marti: yup
lf-empire: ah good idea
Marti: will release at the early stage
get more time to spread

[...]

lf-empire: another question which may be (more) interesting for fans in the moment:
at which state are you in the moment?
nothing in work?
update lf2?
or work on the new game?
Marti: we are now in the investigate stage
updating LF2 + studying directx10, flash, silverlight
we give up sliverlight for sure
silverlight has a bright future but it just too slow in the current version
LF2 should be released in a month
we are now talking to some company
see if they want to put ad or commercial toolbar in our game
lf-empire: k
