One thing is for sure if we do change name it will still be Humans VS. Aliens.

If we did change the name,
The name should not be based on aliens it should be based on facts like how the planet is infested with aliens, the name would be like Planet Crisis cause the planet is in crisis cause of the aliens. ;D

The name would go with the game is all I am trying to say.
Formally known as the "Stat Padding Try Hard" on World of Tanks.....

Name change is not needed. It might even help the old playerbase as was previously mentioned.

Don't think so much. If everyone is thinking too much about this and that, then nothing is getting done and the project will fall flat. It's best to have as little hang-ups as possible, and sitting around thinking of a new name is a backwards step.

Gunther, read this.
To use "tremulous" as the main part of the title requires permission from multiple trem devs, and timbo, the project lead already denies this permission.

Therefore, Tremulous 2 might have the future (or might not, since it isn't developed by a corporations, depends on what Global Government will decide), but Unvarnished doesn't.

The name 'Tremulous' is not a registered trademark... AAA can use it however they please.

Copyright only covers content and intellectual property... titles doesn't count as either of the above.

Agreed about the "and why change the name when AAAGames has made a magazine...poster...and a lot of other stuff :P" part.
The art is wonderfull.

No, ^those are idiots who say whatever the crap they please.

"Ohhh, it's free for anyone to distribute, modify...but don't you even dare think about using "our" name.
"We let project die and lay forgotten and probably would have forever...until we were reminded by email of course."

For reasons unknown, only Loki and Rotacak seem to bring relevant information to the table, while the other spammers post "bluhhh i will never support dis money-making scam it should be killed and shoved in a hole".

If Timbo wanted any cash from the game then he wouldn't release it for completely and totally free. He sees that a long time community member might have a shot at making a successful game and he wants compensation for it.
Quote from: Timbo
When I mentioned being recompensed and a licensing agreement I was talking hypothetically. My point was simply that if somebody is going to profit from my (and others') work, I expect to receive some of that profit beyond the token gesture that you appeared to be offering in your email.


I won't bother mentioning anything else as I try not to rage online if I can.

I just lost all respect for Timbo, stooping so low as to try something like that.

Tremulous 1.1 was a fun game developed by a bunch of garage hacks that a few people found incredibly fun. 

If the garage hacks want to get paid for:
 - Forsaking their project for years
 - Releasing their source code
 - Making a visually awful game based on an incredible game idea

Then they can quit their jobs, raise venture capital, and buy UE3 developer seats themselves.

They haven't done half the work, or taken a tenth of the risks Rota is committing to to not only release this game, but also support himself and his team.

The name Tremulous is not a trademark, it is simply the name of an idea - that idea being an ideal game of humans Vs. aliens.  If they truly felt that they were worthy of gaining a profit from everything they have (not) done over the last few years, they would've registered the name of the game as a trademark, and patented the gameplay.

Then again, they don't own any rights to the QA3 engine 1.1 uses, so gaining any profit from it could lead to very big legal trouble on their part.  I'm surprised Timbo didn't think of this when he decided to be a greedy little shit to Rota in his email.


The 1.1 team is pretty much dead to me at this point.  Douchebags don't make good developers, and that's why I support Rota in the T2 project, AND the use of the name Tremulous 2.

Well, hell! Thats quite a problem. An open threat too.. Still, I will miss our beloved granger! (Now there must be an alien thats even CUTER and even more CUDDLY then the granger) Keep it up rota, I think I speak for most of us when I say that we are still looking forward to whatever you create!
