They still have rights to the engine, right? While all the assets like textures, models, mechanics, programming and even OKAM's concept might technically be property of the publisher, I can't really imagine Donkeys not being allowed to use the engine they made from scratch. Having the engine, it should be a lot easier and faster to develop a new game.
I'm not sure, as in this post when people were questioning who Wireless Warlocks were.
http://forum.ofkingsandmen.net/index.php?topic=225.msg4235#msg4235chadz said "it's just a bunch of legal, bureaucracy and tax reasons. there is not much of a story behind it, don't think about it. "
chadz said "I'm trying to avoid it everywhere ;)
will remove it from there as well"
While the announcement says
http://forum.ofkingsandmen.net/index.php?topic=2387.msg37043#msg37043"Florian Hofreither: "Myself and several others in the development team are departing from Warlock Wireless, the company creating Of Kings And Men."
It seems to me that Wireless Warlock had a pretty big story behind it after all, if this company turns out to be the creator of OKAM, then they will have most likely bought/have all the rights including the engine.
The announcement says also:
"They will continue to provide transitional support to Warlock Wireless, and remain minority shareholders in the company."
If this is true, then it will also depend on which of the shares they hold. Or perhaps its simply to have the former-devs maintain as small income so they dont have to live on ramen again
I'm assuming.
But its all very confusing at the least, I dont know what to think. Things simply dont make sense, perhaps i'm missing something. But this EA sure has been a ride.
Perhaps everything was sold including Donkey Crew name rights?
If chadz and co are Wireless Warlock ( AKA Donkey Crew ) they fired themselves? i truely dont understand.
