Europa gameboxes won't be distributed

I have just talked to Gar Olmstead, from HMS/GRD, and he has asked that I do not distribute the gameboxes I created for Europa games. His concern is with the high-quality scans of the maps that could be easily retrieved from the gameboxes, which would be in violation of HMS/GRD's copyrights.

Maybe there's a solution. Would it help if the image files were encrypted so that only ZunTzu could read them?

This would be a very good idea. I'm sure Gar wouldn't object if the maps couldn't be retrieved.

It will use a public key/private key encryption: a command line tool will allow anyone to encrypt using the public key, and only ZunTzu will be able to decrypt with the private key.

ZunTzu is a wonderful gaming platform but without a game to play on it what is its value?

Well, I'm sure that games for other platforms didn't spring up immediately after they were released, this takes time.
Personally, I have created more than a dozen ZunTzu gameboxes already, but I'm waiting for Jerome to add the encryption scheme (that he mentioned above in this thread) before I distribute them.

Gentlemen,
I appologize. I meant no disrespect its just that the opportunity to play Second front Face to Face is a very awsome prospect.

Don't worry. I didn't feel hurt in any way.

The new version 1.2 is almost done (but then I've been saying that to myself since September
).
Anyway, I suppose I can rush out a version with the support for encrypted artwork and have lclaudius check it out.

Jerome, don't rush out anything on my account --- I'd rather have it right than quick. After all, we've been waiting since September...

I have submitted an encrypted gamebox for the folks at HMS/GRD to analyze. Let's keep our fingers crossed.

That's really good news!
Hope they get to a conclusion soon
