Interesting, I thought SOM was great the way it is, terminology and all. I have seen a lot of people talk a lot about making games, writing programs, and even building developer tools - but very few people actually do it. If most people don't understand SOM the way it is 'my god' they will never make a game anyway, mainly because of all the other aspects of game making involved - (creating digital assets, creating 2D, 3D, audio etc...) Why would anyone want to do a complete REMAKE of SOM is a hilarious waste of time to me, there is no money in it, not even a lot of fun (my opinion)
But, again I felt SOM was great the way it stands right now, COUNTERS meant counters to me (they only could count), TIMERS were timers....etc...honestly you have to be a programmer anyway to understand these commands/functions, and if your not stay away. There are intrinsic limitations to SOM that prohibits a remake, it is seriously limited in graphical power, memory, oh whatever else. Not to mention all the legal issues of doing a 'remake' . I thought SOM was a great way to re-live KingsField and perhaps make a small game to let others see a glimpse of the glory days. So thats precisely what I did.....and it was fun.
P.S. I do agree, that Holy you do bully people on this forum....I think the first day I was on here you called me a hack. :)
