Ok, Ambrosia has not the man power nor the resources to take on such a project. They can make a simpler 3D game with the OpenGL SDK (or whatever its called. I'm no programmer). Infact, they are making a 3D racing game I've yet to learn the name of. You fly around in a little space ship (hovercraft?) around courses. From the screen shots, it looked upto par with a few 3D commercial games.
EV 3D would be much more advanced, and would require writing it from the ground up etc.
My question to you is this: If Ambrosia ever made a 3D Space roleplaying game, why the PHUCK would they smack EV on its title? What the hell are you thinking? They'd call it something different, and it would have nothing to do with EV. EV is a 2D, non-multiplayer game and its god damned going to stay that way. If there ever is an 'EV3D' of 'EVMP' (which there won't) it wouldn't be called either. If ambrosia ever made such a thing, it would be called something different with significant differences so you couldn't compare it to the EV Engine. If you want EV3D, download Avara, make some ship DXFs, and with some clever level scripting (someone else has down this), you can make yourself I ship that hovers around and shoots stuff. There. Thats your EV3D. It may not be graphically up to par, but its about as complex as an EV3D will get, unless Ambrosia becomes a full blown commercial company. Even then, as I have ranted many times before, it won't damning be anything like the EV engine, or the EV universe.
Oh, and about the EVMP and the EV Arena, chances are they'll get shot down at the copyright offices, and kberg and Tycho will have to replace the graphics with original ones, and change the game play enough (well not in Tycho's case) as to avoid lawsuits by Ambrosia or whoever. This will probably mean a much simpler EVMP that loses alot of its appeal. If they do make it past the copyright offices (they won't with name, however, unless Ambrosia makes a turn around and supports the project), all to the good. But the chances of that happening are minimal.
So, you want someone to make EV3D for you? Heh. Thats hard. Very hard. I'm not even a coder and I know its very hard. Get the source code yourself, learn the phuck to code, and do it yourself. I'd love to see you try. I mean, just about any other coder here who wanted to work on it would need to learn ALOT more about OpenGL to make it anymore than what it is now. You learning the basics of C wouldn't add too much time to it. So go, go play with your little project and watch it fall apart.

Who ever said anything about a 3D EVMP?? I just mentioned that those were the two things most EV players wanted. And it looks like you're having trouble understanding what i'm saying. I never said that ambrosia would make it. I'm also not asking for something like a true EV. And a 3D EV Arena wouldn't be that hard either. That's almost what exobattle is! I'm just saying someone could make a 3D EV Flight Sim(not an adventure rpg like EV). kberg's EVMP doesn't use EV's graphics(yet) and he probably could make custom graphics(right?). It wouldn't have to be exactly like EV or have EV in it's name. It still would be pretty much be an EV.
