In regards to Doom (Shareware), FreeDoom, and Source Port derivatives that work with both the registered/commercial Doom and shareware distribution:


I want to bring the concept of Shareware back from the dead.
 + Possibly a lot more than just that...


If you would like to help out then consider having a quick look at Open TeamPlay and the Game Description Object or GDO.

 - http://sourceforge.net/projects/teamplay/

It's kinda in an 'Open Alpha / Planning' stage currently.

e.g. I would like to add a DRM flag to the GDO object class so that end users can tell at a glance if something will install DRM on their systems.

Possibly even a DRM_DescriptionObject class to go along with it.


Seriously, 1KB of data in something like a URL can send a ***HEAP*** of information about something, especially if it only contains a series of 32-bit to 128-bit pointers to more up-to-date information stored in an online repository.

I don't know why someone hasn't gotten of their arse and done this sooner to be honest.
