| 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 |
| 10026 | BZFlag | games | -1 | Re: josh | What? It's free - download it - try it.... keep it. | 2003-04-01 15:33:40 | 9821 |
| 10027 | TORCS | games | -1 | Re: Screenies look good. | Go to the TORCS homepage and click download and installation, there are links for various platforms. | 2003-04-01 15:37:32 | 10023 |
