What makes a game is not the games source or features but its mapping, gui and gfx. Engines should be released and tutorials for all kinds freely in this community hence why it being open-source.
All people in the community should openly release their sources and tutorials and stop selling code to people. This is a 2d game engine for christ sakes.
Help people, yes. Release our source codes? Nice try.
Disagree. MR is going open source after I'm settled in my new job and have time to sort it out, personally vb6 is dead to me and my projects (Konfuze, Konfuze Classic... now Mirage Realms (though the code structure is heavily Jacobs these days, what can I say, the dude loves vb6) serve as little more than a cool induction to games, programming, and fun for newbies that want a super easy induction into coding.
People staying closed source because they feel a sense of achievement and don't want idiots grabbing and repackaging their efforts I agree with. People staying closed source because they think their MS based project is worth something... not so much. At least, not these days.
Not suggesting you are the latter, that's just my stance.
