You people are mean
Sorry but some of the users saw this guy come into the chatroom. Even I find it rather difficult to believe. Here is what he stated:
#1 - He wrote an XBox game engine called Shiva (showed us a website and all, minus screenshots, yet claims to be the fastest engine ever).
#2 - He has not formed a company
#3 - He recieved $500k of VC from Activision.
#4 - He wrote his XBox engine on Linux, and does not even own an Windows machine.
Now, let me point out what I know.
#1 - Activision is not a VC. They might pay for development, but that is external contracting, not VC.
#2 - The XDK website does not list them on their page as a registered user of the XDK.
#3 - To get VC you first need a company, next you need a VERY DETAILED design document, and generally with sample/prototype code, or proof of concept programs.
I am sorry, but I sat in the chatroom with him for close to an hour, and heard him say he went to GameDev and 3 other gaming websites with this same message, and was flamed on every single one.
No matter how controlling I am of the community, there will always be posts such as these that inflame the community, especially since it has absolutely no relevance to Truevision3D or the TV3D SDK.
