I was the first to reply to said offer and have spread the word around myself so its old news to me tongue.gif

But how exactly he would help ? Nevertheless this sound like great news,but by this time it seems to me that most of ZH modders can offer more than him.Just my thoughts.

I doubt its for a mod project.

If anything its probably an entirely new game which he wants to create with the modders help

He's going to be the mastermind of the ultimate heist.

The target: General's source code.

I'm not religious but I've noticed that stuff tends to be interlinked in a way that is a bit too intelligent: I have recently been thinking about (but not done it) contacting EA to ask them to take a look at ROTR and hopefully acknowledge the dedicated work you at SWR are doing to develop C&C Generals... and now the Executive Producer reaches out to you. To you: Congratulations! To them: it's about time!!

Hey everyone! I wanted to nail down a few things today before sharing my thoughts.
 
Here's my thoughts:
 
I'm figuring out a way that we can capture the combination of the great creativity and work that people have done over the years modding C&C Generals, and get it into the hands of more players.
 
And as important, figure out a way for people to get paid something for it.
 
There are a couple of tricky parts. 1st is to not have this become a nightmare for any of us. Part of this means keeping cool and continuing the great work people have been doing without getting all confused up by the fact that there may be a way to monetize the work.
 
Probably best to set expectations low on that front.
 
Second tricky thing is to figure out the engine and tool set that we can all use that will make it easier to get the work into the hands of more players.
 
I have a line on an engine with limited tools that we can use. Unfortunately, it's not as good as Generals yet, but that might be something we work on together.
 
Next thing, which is actually less tricky is to establish a collaboration environment that will make it easier to pull all this off.
 
Facebook posts are nice and all, but not really a collaborative environment. I'm open for suggestions on a collaborative environment we can start using. Once we have that, we can start shaping all this thinking, find out who is serious about helping, who can help in which way and also clarity the bigger picture.
 
I set up a slack account for us to try out.
 
If you're interested, please send a private message to me with your email and why you want to work on this project. We'll spend a little time sorting out people's history, skills, etc. I want to make sure the people who get involved with this are serious too.
