Alright, to explain the hilarity of the situation, I first have to explain what led to it.

There is a video library called Theora and it's really difficult to work with it. So my boss made an extension library a few years back called Theora Player:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/libtheoraplayer
http://libtheoraplayer.cateia.com/wiki/index.php/Main_Page

Now, if you take a look at the Showcase and the projects that are using Theora Player... http://libtheoraplayer.cateia.com/wiki/index.php?title=Showcase (scroll to the bottom for a big surprise)
That is correct. RMVXA is using Theora Player for video playback. So basically my boss helped out creating RMVXA. DAMN YOU, KRESO! D: YOU'RE FEEDING OUR COMPETITION! ._.

Funny enough, he contacted them and actually mentioned me. This is their reply.

QuoteI'm familiar with chaosproject, but hadn't actually been on there in a while. I've run in the RM fan community for a while, so almost all the fansites are familiar to me.


The hilarity of situation is amazing. :rofl:

Kreso also suggested that we add Theora support in ARC. Guess what, we will in the full version. It's really simple to make it work since there is a wrapper library included which works on April and AprilUI which ARC is using. :)

EDIT: Mark, Train Simulator 2013 also uses it. Now you can show the game to your friend and say "I know the guy whose boss made that library for video playback." and they will look puzzled with you and ask you "Mark, is everything alright? You've been playing this game for months now. We know you like trains, but we think you might have a problem."
