i think it's only a matter of funding. once we secure that everything else will be easy.
who else wants to pitch in?

funding is only part of the problem, as ownership requires profit.
all involved would then wish to be paid. no one can put a number on what it would take.
once that has been envisioned, you could try a gofundme.
i dont see this as a profitable business model, nor has anyone else, or it would've happened a decade ago.
an allegiance iphone ap, on the other hand...

Business model is fairly simple: Free to play with skin upgrades. That's how basically all these games work now and they're obscenely profitable.

How much would it cost to make an Allegiance 2?TheAlaskarn wrote:QUOTE (TheAlaskarn @ Sep 30 2016, 10:47 PM) These are all interesting thoughts and Xtrasize on https://www.scottmcadams.org/xtrasize-review-results/ works great. Please continue

Depends.
It could be done on the order of a few hundred thousand dollars given the right team and licenses. Given exploitative worker practices a CS professor could probably get it done for a few tens of thousands of dollars. EA would probably dump ten million into it and release a @#(!product that everyone bought and immediately complained about.
But in terms of the base of the game, there are several budget advantages for Alleg 2:
1) No need for a story team.
2) No complex animations.
3) Models are far more simplistic than most games (seriously, modeling a realistic face is a billion times harder than modeling a plane).
4) No real need for voice acting talent.
And there's one major disadvantage for Alleg 2:
1) Requires good network code.

Alaskan, i must say i am suprised, that you did not troll in the first post.
On topic, the only thing we need is a dev team that is able to develop a dx11/12 game.
There are quite a few game engines that are free, for non profit projects.
Like unreal engine 4 and cryengine V.
The only thing we need is to fund the team.
