10018 3591 news 7620 Re: What I want ;-) I'll agree with you here! Although....I don't think I'd use Command-n-Conquer as a template. Of all the RTS games out there, CnC has just about the worst UI. The only thing great about CnC was the level design. Beyond comparison, CnC games were great for single player, but sucked for fun net play. TA has more promise, but no way could you get 200+ unit types out of the Linux community. Plus the engine was much more complicated. The FreeCraft project seems to be in the right direction. Too bad it's designed to be the front end to the commercial dat files. I think of all the games spotted so far, Boston has the most promise, but with them having heavy CnC roots....I hope they don't copy the CnC UI. What a mistake that would be. 2003-04-01 13:11:09 10001
10019 Freeciv games -1 Re: 'Challenging' is a bit of a stretch. Thanks for this post; I actually changed the source to give the AI a slowdown with their technology development which made the game much more fun to play. I now need to make a patch which makes this a user-configurable setting. - Sam Trenholme 2003-04-01 13:34:46 8377
10020 3591 news -1 Re: No offense... I have thought exact the same. There are no artists in the team and now they are searching for artist(s) from outside. FreeCraft searches artists since 5 years with over 1.5 million visits and big announcement on Slashdot, there was none found. There are no artists, which are working for only fame. 2003-04-01 13:41:51 10017
10021 BZFlag games -1 Great idea, well done BZflag is easy to get into and truly addictive! Modest system requirements (lots of options) and all the necessary multiplayer features. Integrated browser for network games makes it the perfect pastime. Quite reminiscent of an old mac game called Spectre. Recommended to all! 2003-04-01 14:20:36 0
10022 XWelltris games 7027 This game is weird! The most unique tetris clone i have ever seen. Definately worth a try! 2003-04-01 14:22:15 0
10023 TORCS games -1 Screenies look good. Anyone got binaries for Debian? 2003-04-01 15:22:26 0
10024 Racer games -1 Re: Looks great You mean like *cough* Transgaming *cough* releasing full source of Winex when they got 20,000 simultaneuous subscriptions? ;-)<BR><BR> Actually, not a bad idea. Would the author go for it? It'd have to independant of nasty proprietary libraries, although replacing fmod in a GPL version would be very simple. I'd contribute $5 to help free Racer. 2003-04-01 15:28:08 10002
10025 Racer games -1 Re: Stunningly beautiful graphics, but.. >> 6. seems you have missed something in the meantime <BR><BR> 0.4.9 was released a LONG time ago. 0.5.0 was released days ago. Was there a non-beta'd 0.4.99 available, or are you smoking something? 2003-04-01 15:30:47 9975
