If you hadn't seen this yet:
If this petition is accepted by Sierra (I'm willing to try) it will allow the Tribes engine to be updated and be used by our game dev group on campus here. I don't know if they want to use it, but 2 of us know quite a bit about the engine and scripting for it, so we could possibly use this if we make a fluid 3-d release of the game dev games any time in the near future.
As well, it would enable the ability to reform the engine to be more efficient and adaptable to our wants/needs.
If you're bored or want to help out then please sign the petition at this link:
