Development wise I could definitely use my computer, but if I wanted to host or allow builders or other coders to help if they wish it wouldn't work. I don't have a static IP, my computer isn't on all the time and the ports are not changeable by me. I do see some other options and there's ixokai's comment to look for. So, we'll see.
My next question is, has anyone created a frame for a fallout game yet with the code available to build off?
