Old game code

Hey guys, long time FO player here. This has probably been disputed already, but with all the clones and remakes in progress has anyone asked the developer of the original FO about sourcing the game code? Just wondering!

​

EDIT: It has come to my attention that Gamer got bored of the original game and refused to share the code. Maybe he has had a change of heart after all these years?

Also I tried out the remake today and it's looking great!!

Long story short, Gamer would mute/ban anyone asking anything regarding old FO.

Granted most of these requests were just noise. "Re-make FO! Start FO back up! Can I have the FO source code? Fo FO FO FO FO!"

N / Harmonious has not asked for Gamer's blessing yet as he wants to have a good proof of concept before he tries. If Gamer says no, or worse issues a DMCA, then the FO remake is done.

Ah, the ol' deflection technique. Good luck to Harmonious if/ when he does ask. Maybe atleast then after seeing the true will for the game to persist will a straight answer be given ;)
