Yesterday I had a nice long chat with him about Project A. Turns out he's 15, Sigfig (their only coder who has to re-write the Source engine networking and rendering) is 14. You can see clearly why this will never ever work.
Their master plan is to establish a network of computers which will give the processing power of a supercomputer. The server will then pump details out to this network where the details will be processed, rendered, and all the users will then be sent the rendering. So they're planning to download 1024x768 high-res images at a rate of about 40 per second (for a decent framerate).
I really can't see how anyone could ever take this seriously now.
