I'll ask my lead engineer for the details, but if my memory serves me correctly, I don't think you can get the source code for the Hero Engine, and we won't use an engine that doesn't allow us to modify the source.

There are certainly far fewer women in the game industry than men, but this is rapidly changing, which is fantastic. When I was at SOE back in 96 there were very few female developers. There are many more now (but still not enough IMHO).Brad, hire me and there can be crazy stories about the "women that worked on Pantheon". lol i should have my cs degree in about 3 more years

I don't see any issue with the idea of pledging and kickstarter as a whole. There is risk just like with anything else. But it's one thing to risk 45, it's something else with it's 250. I mean, 250 is 250, with the risk of getting either a) zero return due to the game not coming out or b) the game coming out with a much different idea than what was conceptualized due to a variety of factors (money, time, resources etc).
I guess it's all about hope. Problem is there has been hope before in this genre of games. Many times over. Sometimes you're just tired of getting burned. But damn it would be cool if this became a reality, even half realized. It will still never replace EQ, that's impossible. But it still be nice to see the vision of that game with new tech, with some modern elements thrown in.

I would never accuse you of something like this, Brad. The tabletop RPG world is entirely different from the video game industry. I was just answering the question. I'm not the least bit worried, and I've backed at a very significant level.Any name cache I still have would be obliterated and I would have to work at McDonalds

You can, but its in one of the many license agreements they have.

e: Beaten.
No offense dude, but your way off here. Unless your going for,"I'm going to bring modern gaming computers to their knees", the hero engine is excellent.
Nope. I had a plethora of people tell me I should get a nursing degree...for no apparent reason other than I am female...
Anyhoo, back to the subject at hand:
As CCO, are you getting your hands dirty with this?? As in, are you working on it and down in the nitty gritty?
Or is your role in this more of an overseer for the project??

One of the cool things about being a smaller team is that we all wear different hats and it's all hands on deck. Time permitting I definitely want to jump into Unity and create some content.
Not really taking issue with you, but commenting on the difference between $45 and $250. It's all relative. I cut a business trip I have coming up an extra evening I was going to stay over to kick in for this (in other words, a very small sacrifice on my part). Someone else might cut out a dinner and a movie (or even just a movie). Nobody should be putting up money that they can't afford to lose on most Kickstarters.
This will be my 12th or 13th KS project as well another half dozen Indigogos on top of that and I can't say I've had any trouble with any of them. Even if this doesn't happen, I can hope someone notices there's at least a bit of interest (if it continues) and I felt compelled to at least put my money where my mouth has been. I've already been "voting with my wallet" by not buying many MMO's over the last several years. That's apparently not good enough. If I'm out the cash I'm out the cash. At least I can bitch righteously.

Brad you should visit the mmo champion thread to undo the damage some crazed fanboy did.
Fan of Everquest? Vanguard? New MMO Kickstarter by Brad Mcquaid: Pantheon - Page 3
And Miracle of Miracles: the mod Edge is actually slightly interested in the game despite the crazy fanboy.

A grand total of 3 pages regarding Pantheon? I wouldn't waste Brad's time. Time is money for the next month and mmo champion just isn't worth it. A bunch of trolls. NO ONE could change their minds anyway.
That's good to hear! Make it so!
Yea I think for me, it's worth the risk bc I believe in what they're trying to do. And if it fails, well at least I did what I could do right now to support the vision. I have no regrets.

I disagree, that's enough people to be worth Brad's time, especially with a potentially interested Moderator.
Heck, I've posted on the EQMac forums about the game ;-) And those are dead forums for the most part.
Edit: And there are trolls everywhere ;-) Here, Reddit, MMO Champion, Etc.
Edit2: And remember there's a big difference between you or I chiming in on the thread and Brad "Aradune" McQuaid. Gamers love talking to developers, even ones they profess to dislike. It makes them feel important.

No loss, having worked with hero engine, you would have completely gutted it and wrote your own anyway. There is a reason why Hero's Journey never shipped.
