Kinsie Posted April 21, 2011 During a chatter about the Rage mod tools, Tim Willits noted that Bethesda isn't getting in the way of source code releases, and that it's basically up to Carmack as to the hows and whens of when the Doom 3 engine gets opened. No word on when that will be, however. 0 Share this post Link to post
lazygecko Posted April 21, 2011 Didn't Carmack say they won't release source codes anymore, since idtech4 and upwards use so much third party stuff in them? 0 Share this post Link to post
kristus Posted April 21, 2011 No. They've never said anything like that. Because that's not true. 0 Share this post Link to post
Mithran Denizen Posted April 21, 2011 After all the interviews where Carmack complains about what a mistake it was to use DMX in Doom, I imagine that he'd want to avoid embedding any proprietary components into Id Tech 4. 0 Share this post Link to post
