If they're too stupid to know what a wiki is and the legal ramifications of that, that's their problem.infinity421 wrote:So, about that...Soulzarath wrote:This would be an extremely great idea. However I understand that Containment Breach runs under a free license agreement therefore Regalis would have to set up some different agreement and maybe create another license for Xbox. On the xbox360 marketplace you can find an indie market whichi indie games (like CB) are there to download and play for just 80 Microsoft points (1 dollar). It'd be great for people with out a computer who'd like to play CB on their xbox. Anyone agree? I know most of you are console players but I'd prefer my xbox over PC sense you can communicate with players online while playing all these games with out have to join steam or anything like that. Add ArchDevil808 if you want to play w/ m via xbox live.
*EDIT*
I apoligize for any vocabulary mistakes I may have made. I'm using my xbox internet explorer which doesn't correct anything.
Regalis doesn't own the SCP objects. He didn't make them. The authors at the actual SCP website did, and let me tell you, the creative commons license comes to bite us in the arse at almost every opportunity, as it would if he tried to port it over onto the xbox. Theoretically, if we were to port it over to the xbox, royalties would need to be paid to the authors of each and every SCP object appearing in the game, which would be extremely difficult with173 as it was posted anonymously on 4chan in 2007.
So, yeah.
Not gonna happen.

#22First of all, everything in the SCP wiki is licensed under Attribution-ShareAlike 3.0 Unported-license, which allows making commercial use of the work. So yes, SCPCB could be sold and it would be perfectly legal. The authors would probably not be very happy about it though.
I think you've ignored the biggest issue about porting SCPCB to another platform: how to do it? Porting a game that's designed to run only on PC to Xbox isn't an easy task. I don't know much about programming Xbox games, but I'm quite confident that it would at least require rewriting the entire game in some other language and using some graphics library that is compatible with Xbox360. I don't think I have enough programming skills to do the port, and I'm not very eager to start remaking the game almost from scratch, but if someone is willing and capable of doing it, you have my approval.

Before i forget, Mackenzie is busy working on an entirely new site for SCP, and it should be up by christmas. From what i've heard, it looks pretty good so far. If you want to know anything about it, ask her about Project Foundation, as i'm pretty sure she's the chief coder or something similar.

While my source would obviously have to be tweaked to remove the dependency on SFML, I THINK that Microsoft allows use of C++ for games made for the Xbox, but I can't remember, I know that C# is the main one they like for the console, but I'm not sure about C++. So far, all the libraries I've used have ports available for the different mobile and gaming platforms (except PS3, one library I'm using doesn't have a port for that system yet).
Been extremely busy lately so I haven't gotten in much work on it. I've been reading tutorials on Assimp to figure out all the stuff I need to do to get the models in the game and usable with their textures, animations, bones and whatnot. And tuts on OpenGL too.
If it isn't broken, it doesn't have enough features...

Re: SCPCB on Xbox360?
#29Well, i'm sure the C++ port will go well. Besides, Xbox 360 sucks for indie games that aren't multiplayer. As I said before, iOS is the way to go profit-wise.
