I was thinking that, around Egoboo 5.0.0 (very far in the future), we could switch to Source (an insanely good physics engine, usually used for the best-selling games) for Egoboo!...this would come with tons of work.
What do you people think?

It seems that Source is Windows only, we would lose all the other platforms.

As for me, I say no.
Why? Because it only supports Windows.
If they release their source code and/or release other platforms, I will reconsider it.

No. I mean, Egoboo is FREE. If we use PRICEFUL source code, then it's PRICEFUL....

5.0? Source?
No. It can't be done anyways. You would have to make a whole new "mod" in the source engine which you would call "egoboo" or something like it. One can't port Egoboo to a new game engine, graphic engine, sound engine and actually everything Egoboo is built on. It would be easier making a new game.
Egoboo is GPL, which means the source for the game has to be released with it.

Like Zefz said, it would never work for about a dozen reasons.
Why scrap 10 years (OK, maybe it's not that much) of work just to use a new physics engine?
So what if "all the cool games" use it?
