/v/ - Video Games

Personally, I've been playing Naev a lot lately. The game is a pure autism trap.

www.wesnoth.org

>>14033966

13.0 never ever.

tuxracer.jpg

>>14033993

The game is already perfect.

Do open source engines for previously closed source games count?

>>14034028

Call then I'm recommending Marathon Trilogy on AlephOne.

>>14034033

How complete is it?

>>14034037

Been done for years. Bungie used it for their Xbox 360 port.

>>14034046

Forgot link: https://alephone.lhowon.org/

Nice~ How do you get your hands on the assets?

>>14034056

They are included. The games are freeware now.

>>14034061

I'll have to check the AUR later then.

There are not a ton of OSS commercial games, but ToME is good shit, if you're into rouge-like games.

Also Arx Libertatis I recommend the dev builds because the stable release is really outdated by now. The dev builds has a lot of fancy shit in it and some much needed bug fixed across every platform: http://wiki.arx-libertatis.org/Development_snapshots

>>14034063

Oh well they are in AUR too. You simply build them. There are a couple of fanmade scenarios in the AUR as well like Marathon Eternal. Great shit.

>>14034075

I have no idea why they the AL devs don't just make a new release. There's been more than enough work done on the dev version to justify it.

>>14034074

Also Ebony Spire (MIT):

>>14034084

Same. I thought the project was dead until I saw the git one in the AUR. And that one is miles ahead when it comes to fixed shit.

>>14034059

>realismfags ruin 2D

Fucking bastards.

>>14034100

And new lighting effects. Runs smoother too.

On the subject of open Xcom, is it like a Doom source port in that you need the assets from the original, or does it work by itself?

Apparently, the first Sunrider game is fully open source.

>>14034128

On a related note, nothing pisses me off more than hearing that a company lost the original source code to a classic game. Looking right at you, Nintendo. Half the original code to their NES and SNES library is lost.

Jazz Jack Rabbit was released on GOG recently, there is a free engine called Open Jazz.

>>14034150

No idea why the embed didn't wok.

>>14034159

Shame it runs like crap on FX CPUs. I need to upgrade sooner than later.

>>14034135

No fucking way.

Got a list/sauces?

>>14034167

If you want a minecraft clone just use minetest.

But you need loads of mods that already exist just lurk in the forums and you'll get them.

https://www.minetest.net

>>14034135

>nothing pisses me off more than hearing that a company lost the original source code to a classic game

Homeworld Cataclysm is an example of that

>>14034177

For HC:

http://www.escapistmagazine.com/news/view/139695-Gearbox-Homeworld-Cataclysm-Re-Release-Comes-Down-to-Finding-the-Source-Code

Has for nintendo that info circulates between developer communities.

>>14034218

Escape Velocity is another example. Then again, Naev and Endless Sky might not exist otherwise.

>>14034135

>>14034177

>lost the original source code

It's actually worse than that not only they did loose the source code but they also lost the roms.

They were looking for them because they wanted to but it back in the wii "something retro store" and they had to contact the websites of "illegal" Rom and ask for the whole database.

They would never have lost the source if they were careful or if they had released it to the public.

Bunch of twats.

>>14033942

Why do enemy soldiers not lose HP when attacking my tanks?

>>14034271

Are you leaving your tanks with AP at the end of their turns to counter attack with, or are you full moving them?

>>14034218

During an attack, you get two turns and the enemy gets one. When you get attacked, the enemy gets two chances to hit and you get one. This stops powerful units from bulldozing all the weaker ones.

It seems to me most single player games could be open sourced without issue. Especially the indie ones that are usually DRM free anyway. What exactly would happen if, say, Cave Story's code was opened?

>>14034283

Oh so that's what the shield icons mean, cheers

Anyone interested in an open source metroidvania game? Hydra Caste Labyrinth has a Mojo installer now:

https://boilingsteam.com/ptitseb/hydracastlelabyrinth-installer

I'm happy to see OpenApoc progressing nicely, but it looks like there's still a long way to go until it's the superior option.

<Basically, to have a truly playable game, we now need only:

>Aliens moving from building to building

>Funding for X-Com and orgs

>Agent Training

>Bribes

That will be a game which has all of its main mechanics implemented. We still have a long way to go, but that's a point at which you can really play Apocalypse in OpenApoc and do everything you need.

<And then, to reach a mostly complete state, we also require:

>Proper portal location in alien dimension

>Proper portal movement

>Alien Takeover screen

>Score screen and graphs

>Proper collapse algorithm for alien tubes

>Victory & Defeat screens

>UFO growth halting when relevant building is destroyed

>Organisations properly buying their vehicles

>Organisations making treaties, raiding each other and x-com, sending illegal flyers

>Proper Music (not just 3 looped tracks)

>Overspawn

<Then, to be fully vanilla feature complete, we also need:

>Better battle AI (behavior, taking cover, more intelligent attack patterns)

>Better city AI (craft retreat when damaged, other stuff)

>Proper ground vehicles (occupying lanes, blocking, overtaking etc.)

>Proper location screen (assigning agents to vehicles)

>Some fixes to Ufopaedia display

>Proper transferring agents

>UI Tooltips

>Controls for editing text (naming soldiers and other property)

>Agent medals and statistics

>Agent name generator (more than 10 names and surnames)

>Colored text support

<And then, to be a full 1.0 OpenApoc release, we also need:

>Different file format than xml for storing save files (at least), so that save/loading takes reasonable amount of time

>Different handling of game data (separation of "rules" and "gamestate", so that for example you can modify a research project in a mod, add that mod to your playthrough midgame, and not have to lose all progress made on that project, or later remove the project mod, and have the changes reversed but research state persist)

>Close all issues

>Maybe something else that didn't come up to mind immediately

>>14034411

>OpenApoc

This is a new one for me. Surprised I missed it.

>>14034358

wasn't this in japanese only?

>>14034508

Not anymore.

>>14034531

UI scaling, better mouse tracking for spells, light effects, runs smoother, and quite a few bug fixes.

>>14034610

And people wonder why I talk so much about these OSS engine rewrites. We cannot rely on companies to maintain their own shit.

>>14034609

RPGMaker 2000 had a tiny resolution. Scaling is part of the problem.

OpenMW needs to hurry up with that 1.0 release. Then again, modders are actually still thinking SkyWind will ever be finished.

>>14034074

>"There are not a ton of OSS commercial games"

On that subject, Frogatto is quite nice. I really dig the artstyle

>>14034626

An updated version of Shandalar would blow the fuck out of every Magic Game made afterrwards (except for battlegrounds maybe)

>>14034834

Frogatto almost reminds me of a Wayforward game. They need to put it up on Itch though.

>>14034875

Practically anyone can put games on Itch. The reason I think that it matters is that it's the 3rd biggest DRM-free platform after GOG and Humble.

>>14034862

>integer scaling

Seems it works in 2003 games, but not for 2000 ones.

>>14034875

they already have an open source card game on itch. It actually doesn't look bad.

>>14034903

Forgot embed:

>>14034018

I still need to complete my mod to convert random shit to raw numbers based on probability. Only then will the game be perfect.

>>14034924

OpenGL support wouldn't hurt either. I mean the game runs on a toaster without it, but it would still be nice to have.

>>14034935

If we're only talking about libre games, we'd have to exclude anything that needs non free assets. I agree that libre is optimal.

>>14034935

And there are purely practical reasons for wanting to be able to have source code that do not intersect with RMS' ideology. Want to run Morrowind on literally anything that will let you? Well now you can.

Come to think of it, I wonder if the OpenTTD guys have ever thought about renaming the project to FreeTTD. It hasn't needed TTD assets for several years now.

>>14034961

Renaming such a long lived project would be a bit of a pain in the ass.

I wish someone would make a libre Battlefield clone in Xonotic's vein. I never cared much for Quake multiplayer.

>>14034211

Actually it was an industrial counter-espionage tactic. Konami and Sega also did it to a lesser degree.

>>14035014

I dunno about that, but one thing companies did do very often in the '80s and early '90s was force their employees to use pseudonyms on their game credits, to prevent talent poaching.

>>14035016

Japanese companies up until the late 00s actively destroyed the source code of some of their games to prevent the competition from stealing it. Not even kidding. That's why the Silent Hill HD collection is such a fucking mess, and it's also why JSRF HD never ever.

>>14035016

>>14035032

Oh and it's also why Mario's movement and jumping has never quite been the same since the SNES era.

>>14034218

>you need loads of mods

Why can't the devs just integrate the mods into the vanilla game? Are they lazy or is there some other reason?

>>14034315

someone could use it to make there own distinct game and it would be competition for the original dev, so they jew up and say no no. it's a retarded reason, but it's a reason

>>14035025

>Japanese companies up until the late 00s actively destroyed the source code of some of their games

What level of fuckery is this? That's some top tier jewry right there "You can't make a copy of my book IF I BURN THE ONLY EXISTING COPY! MUHAHAHA!" And seriously, even back then a lot of people focused on brand loyalty, they wanted to play a Mario game, not a Jario game that had the same physics.

>>14035075

Odds of that happening are next to nil. Besides, Godot is a thing now, so it would probably be easier just to use that.

>>14034059

children cartoons have rotten your brain

>>14034315

I remember someone asking Pixel the same question on his website only stating he can't. Possibly due to what other anons said that Japanese tend to delete their source code. There is an open source engine for the game called the nxengine and it's much better than the original:

http://nxengine.sourceforge.net/

>>14034211

This has to do with their culture or something.

As another mentioned about espionage (they can't steal the source if it doesn't exist), but they run off a one-and-done project

Actually, that's amazing. If there's no source code, legally you could never infringe on it by making a 1:1 functionally identical clone of a game

>>14035085

>Odds of that happening are next to nil.

Like I said, it's retarded logic, doesn't mean that jews and nips aren't gonna use it though.

>>14035118

>have rotten your brain

anon I hate to break it to you, but I don't think he's the one with a rotted brain.

>>14034000

Doom isn't open-source, the Doom engine is.

>>14034191

Was this the game with fursuits and dildos?

>>14035119

There's an SD2 2 port of NX. It's basically the main project now, since the original engine isn't being worked on anymore.

https://github.com/nxengine/nxengine-evo

>>14035188

SDL2 port*

>>14035171

It's like a zombie fallout rogue-like. I don't recall fursuits or dildos,

>>14035156

Which means it's open source, but requires non-free assets (Freedoom not withstanding). There is a reason I didn't name this the Libre Games thread.

>>14034304

Do people actually watch shit like this? Why does modern anime look like such a shit? I can't tell if that woman is having a laughing or couching fit.

>>14035203

Yeah?

http://cdda.chezzo.com/wolfsuit

http://cdda.chezzo.com/vibrator

> Japanese tend to delete their source code

WHAT!?

>>14035032

Some companies didn't even have source code in the first place. There was a Square programmer who programmed everything in a micro-assembler which automatically assembles each new line.

>>14035216

Well, I was somehow lucky enough to miss those.

>>14035228

Also, their were parts of Kirby's Dreamland programmed entirely in hexadecimal. Nips are autistic when it comes to programming.

>>14035277

The source code is open, not the assets. For example OpenTTD is open source, but can't include original art, music or sounds for legal reasons and the community has created open and free versions of those. This isn't exactly rocket surgery, dear anon.

Widelands if fugly but fun:

Interestingly, Strife's source code was lost but there was an attempt to decompile and rewrite it as part of Chocolate Doom, to the extent that it should be 100% compatible to the original.

Also friendly reminder about Starcraft source code. Not that a proper FOSS project would've touched it, but it's back in Blizzard's claws now.

>>14035123

Maybe that's why the Pokémon disassembly exists and isn't taken down.

>>14035332

That's one of the things that turns me off from open source games. The graphics look ugly af. Even pixel shit indie games look better than this.

>>14035344

This is an old game, anon. Have a look at 0AD:

Lugaru got open sourced at some point.

>>14035426

They usually put the good open source games on Steam too. For money. See:

http://store.steampowered.com/app/259680/Tales_of_MajEyal/

>>14035426

We already have Wesnoth, idiot.

>>14035426

Plus there's tons of great closed-source freeware games.

Anyone interested in some OSS Sonic?

>>14035455

The ironic thing is that there are actually quite a few open source games on Steam these days.

Super Tux Kart netplay fucking when?

>>14035483

Tanks of Freedom. Made in Godot and pretty fun too.

>>14035513

You can get it free from itch.

I posted this in the /agdg/ thread, but GitHub had a gameoff jam recently, so maybe it has some nice projects?

Fuck.

>>14035540

>>14035559

Half of these are Unity games, how the hell does this 'celebrate open source'?

>>14035572

I mean, legally speaking, you could totally replace the assets and sell the game.

>>14035573

Idiots not knowing what open source really means and/or not knowing that Godot exists.

>>14035533

Man, you really like going on about this itch of yours.

>>14035590

I know it sounds like I'm shilling, but would you rather compile it from source?

>>14035589

It's the people running the jam I'm more irked by. Why allow Unity games?

>>14035585

I know, but I like to think I'm a little bit above doing an asset flip, besides if I add in new content people can't criticize shit.

>>14035603

Maybe they are the idiots not knowing what it means to be open source or there is some open-source Unity compiler that I'm not aware of.

>>14035607

It's MIT. So you can literally do whatever you please as long as you give the original authors credit. Though, even with the GPL, you could do what you're talking about.

>>14035603

I don't understand, is there something actually preventing you from opensourcing a unity game? Sure the engine itself may not be open source, but while it may be a less pure open source game, it would still be open source, no?

>>14035555

Why not? That is one of the things open source licenses tend to specifically allow you to do. Anybody thinking you are an asshole for doing something specifically allowed is being an asshole themselves.

FreeDink has been ALMOST complete for going on a decade. It's just missing a few sound effects. Think we could pitch in?

http://www.gnu.org/software/freedink/

>there something actually preventing you from opensourcing a unity game

The fact that Unity isn't OSS means any game made with it cannot be OSS.

>>14033942

Good thread op.

>>14035617

>>14035620

>>14035123

> Actually, that's amazing. If there's no source code, legally you could never infringe on it by making a 1:1 functionally identical clone of a game

That's not true. This is why clean room development exists. Otherwise you could just disassemble and reassemble the game into an exact copy and distribute it. It's legal to reverse engineer and reimplement (as long as you don't use copyrighted assets like art, characters, or music), but using a disassembly or any of the original binary makes it a derivative product, which usually isn't legal. This is why Wine and ReactOS have to work very carefully to ensure programmers implementing the code can't ever look at any disassembly for any of the code they work on, otherwise it's a horrible legal liability. There have been tons of court cases for exactly this, and it's been resoundingly determined that using disassembly (or proprietary sources) in your own product is plagiarism.

>>14035340

> Maybe that's why the Pokémon disassembly exists and isn't taken down.

I'm amazed it's still up. It isn't hurting Nintendo, isn't being sold, and is mostly just an educational endeavor, though, so it probably won't get shut down. It's easier to just find a ROM than it is to build one from the sources. It is certainly illegal, but I guess it's not really worth their time to even issue a C&D on it (but I'm still keeping up-to-date copies of the repositories just in case).

It's old, not perfect, but entertaining. https://www.winterworks.de/project/hurrican/

>>14035663

Not really worried honestly.

>>14035667

I'm shat too, there will always be hard coded limitations with the "engine" as well as it being stupidly inefficient, as well as it not being open source, They should have just used Godot.

>>14035629

>The fact that Unity isn't OSS means any game made with it cannot be OSS.

Not wholly true. That's like saying a program cannot be FOSS if compiled by a proprietary compiler. I'm not sure about Unity's specific licensing, but you can make all your game scripts, logic, and assets FOSS, which would make your game essentially FOSS. It would mean that only the code is FOSS, and the compiled product could not be considered FOSS until somebody creates a compatible FOSS replacement for Unity that can compile and run Unity projects with only FOSS components (which is legal, as the Supreme Courts in the US and EU determined that APIs are not copyrightable, only implementations, meaning it's legal to reimplement the functionality of any program, as long as you don't use any of the original source code).

I'm a programmer who has had to wrestle with this shit at work for years. I don't know this shit for fun, and I hate legal shit.

>>14035728

>but you can make all your game scripts, logic, and assets FOSS, which would make your game essentially FOSS.

Would you be able to run said game without the non-free engine? What you are describing is the exact opposite of OpenMW.

https://play0ad.com/

I always thought that this game was great and showed real potential as an Age of Empires clone.

>can dismantle ruins for a source of stone

>starting position is atop an acropolis

>all base economic units are female

>base military units are all male and double as economic units

>advanced military units are only military

Just nice features.

>>14035744

To be fair, 0AD isn't looking to be a 100% clone of AoE. That said, there are some missing features (livestock, taming wild animals).

>>14035752

It's not an exact clone but it takes a bunch of features and adds a new twist to them. I haven't read any planned feature lists, I hope we get more features like livestock though, I haven't played in a year so I can't remember what the exact differences were.

Pioneer might interest people who liked Naev and Endless sky. There is no story in it though. It's an endless spacefag sim, basically.

>>14034135

Did those games even have source? I'd expect most or all of the coding for those was done directly in assembly, in which case, the disassembly is the "source".

https://gist.github.com/1wErt3r/4048722

I'd give it better than even odds that the modern annotations have better comments than the originals, even accounting for language differences.

>>14035483

I want to hold hands with her

>>14035825

We all do, anon.

>>14035483

Who is this semen demon?

>>14035839

A lesbian, sadly.

>>14035791

The assembly code would contain comments, macros and labels. All of these would be lost when assembling the binary.

It is obvious why comments are relevant. Macros allow programmers to create snippets to be copy-pasted by the assembler, allowing for some basic semantic abstraction, useful for understanding the intention of the code rather than its implementation. Labels can also carry semantic meaning, when a jump label has a name it can convey meaning, something a raw address cannot.

This is also why when you have a piece of minified obscured JavaScript it cannot be considered the original source. The original source is what the programmers use to work on, so it must retain all the comments and other structures.

>>14035845

Not for long.

>>14035845

No such thing tbh. Only bisexuals in denial.

>>14035865

Most women fit into the "bisexual" spectrum. It's an evolutionary adaptation that serves a few purposes, actually.

>>14035868

What're the advantages of being dyiking it up?

>>14035865

When I say 'lesbian' I essentially mean any woman that, for whatever reason, chooses not to sleep with men.

>>14035874

Consider for a moment that monogamy isn't the natural state of affairs for our species and the answer to that gets easier. But we're starting to derail the thread, so I'll leave it at that.

>>14035881

Theoretically that includes asexuals, anon.

>>14035209

Nobody has made a free assets mod?

>>14035890

Asexuality is bullshit, anon. Everyone wants to fug something.

>>14035894

That would be FreeDoom.

There's a opensource engine for the jedi knight and jedi arena games somewhere on the web. I think it is called openJK and opensomething else here.

I wonder why I don't typically hear more about OpenRA.

>>14035936

OpenJK is the engine for both games and MP. When Disney got the rights to Star Wars the devs released the source code as a fuck you.

>>14035868

Very few women are attracted to women sexually.

>>14035917

Thanks. On Linux, what files should I install to play? I see "freedom", which, per the description, only has 2 levels.

>>14035944

>OpenRA

Because we don't talk about it more? That's the main problem with these open engines, people need to talk them up more.

>>14035950

>Very few women are attracted to women sexually.

Women get aroused by sex in general. And most of them can get aroused at either sex, but they get more aroused when they see a man and another woman going at it. Even lesbians get more out of porn when there's both dick and vagoo involved, according to some studies.

ANYHOO~ Back to the actual topic of this thread. It looks like some mad fool is trying to make an open source Metroid game.

>>14035874

polygamy.

>>14035990

RIP Hexoshi

>>14036000

That makes sense then. Fucking chads.

>>14036000

Trips do confirm.

>>14036005

RIP? Development has been slow, but as far as I know, the project was still alive.

>>14035972

Utterly untrue. Women are aroused by thinking of themselves in heterosexual interactions with men. Their emphasis is upon their own body, and what they experience. You will see how none of the literature contradicts this.

Again, women focus on receiving heterosexual actions from men. This is in the mind.

And men focus on engaging in heterosexual actions on women. This is also in the mind.

Here is an example of what happens in a research context:

< Researchers lay out a plate of food for volunteers. It contains items they say they would refuse to eat, but also items they say they like to eat.

< Saliva levels are measured, since people drool, seeing on the plate what they like.

< However, the researchers conclude they salivated for the items they do not like.

>>14036034

We are getting WAAAY off track with this. This is a more fitting conversation for /pol/ or even /christian/ than /v/. The last thing I'll say on this is that while monogamy is not 'natural' per se, it is optimal in 90% of cases.

>>14035947

I got that openJK engine to work natively on linux. I just had to compile it myself with a up to day SDL2 library installed. Both the games it supported worked without wine on linux. Was very nice of the devs to release the source code.

>>14036086

Like I said, they basically did it as a fuck you. I dunno what issue they had with Disney, but they eventually had to take down their repo. It was too late by then though.

>>14036108

>big fuck you to disney

>releasing source code so modding community and nerds can go crazy on game

Pick one. Seems like a defeat of purpose to release the source code if they were trying to ruin the games for disney. Pirates would have just downloaded it anyways. But now modders can go crazy on it. I actually bought it only because the source code was released for the engine.

>>14036140

Think about it. Open Source engine means that there can't be any gay 'Anniversary Edition'.

>>14036034

>Again, women focus on receiving heterosexual actions from men. This is in the mind.

Explain yaoi.

>>14036072

eh… nope, I'm not off-track. Someone made the comment, and I replied with factual information. By the way, your fallacy is: ad hominem.

You say monogamy is not "natural". This is obviously untrue. Mate-guarding is a natural behavior. Therefore, in more intelligent creatures, this implies monogamy.

>>14036163

Look how that turned out for bioshock and bioshock 2, lowered sales in the long term since people will just pirate the old and better versions I would have too if I hadn't already bought it. Some suckers at the begining fell for the meme and bought the annivesary edition. But then it died out, with how to pirate the old ones taking the place of long term sales. Especially as the anniversery editions look like pajeets coded it with all the bugs. I don't think they even fixed all those bugs introduced in said anniversery editions.

>>14036187

Uh-huh. And the more powerful males tend to acquire more than one mate.

>>14036186

The items on the menu here are, in some cases verbs. The woman fantasizes about herself receiving these actions. The type of fantasies women of Japan are interested in are not those involving two hyper-masculine men, you will note. One is playing the female part.

Remember, the plate consists of numerous elements. Some of interest, some not.

But in the end it is but the same heterosexual fantasy, in the mind, specifically involving herself as recipient.

"The main characters in yaoi usually conform to the formula of the seme (the "top", or dominant figure) who pursues the uke (the "bottom", or passive figure). Material classified as yaoi typically depicts gay relationships between male characters and may include homoerotic content. Although the yaoi genre is also called Boys' Love (commonly abbreviated as BL), the characters may be of any age above puberty, including adults.

Now imagine for a moment that Bioshock 1&2 didn't run on any current hardware. My point is that things like OpenMW and GemRB are even better than having the game be DRM-free, since we can actually improve and maintain them at the code level. OpenMW means that an Android port of vanilla Morrowind would be a little pointless, for example.

>>14036205

Prostitutes are "acquired" by multiple parties, but we would hardly consider this the choosing of the men.

The preference is, of the mentally non-ill, exclusivity. The woman does not wish to share her man/men, and the man does not wish to share his woman/women.

In animals, of course, they are not able to enforce this, but the nature of high intelligence demands the truce: monogamy.

Therefore, intellectuals are monogamous.

The arguments for monogamy and polyamorousness are all in there. Go learn something and let us discuss open source games.

Yeah, no. I won't go to your religious sites. You can argue here. Or, as is apparent, you cannot.

I've been meaning to get into it for some time actually. Got any tips for getting into it? It doesn't seem to have the same appeal as OpenTTD for me at first glance.

>>14039937

That would preclude shit like OpenMW and Doom. Open engine + non-free assets does not equal 'libre'.

>>14036240

That game is just a remake of SuperTux which is programmed in C++. I don't what kind of new content Retux has though.

>>14036469

It's just a clone, not a fan game. They can't take it down.

>>14037747

Yea I was playing through the game just fine, stopped on the level where you are on a ship in the air. The graphics selection was a little buggy though as I could only select pre-set resolutions. I was missing xrandr on my system and I could still get a max of 1440xsomething here I forget so YMMV. But for actual gameplay it works fine as long as you manually copy over the old windows game's contents and place the linux/elf compiled binary in the place of the old game engine's .exe. Along with having to go to the directory manually to start the game from a terminal. You could just create a steam shortcut for it though. I think all the instructions are in the github repo for it.

>>14040161

It uses a lot of Super Tux's assets, but it's actually made in Pygame and the levels are totally different.

>>14040284

>Pygame

People still use that shit? I remember not being able to have smooth scrolling using that.

>>14040299

Also, Pygame development has picked back up recently. And it was always 'good enough' for SNES-style games like Retux and Hexoshi.

>>14040303

It's Fire Emblem with most of the bad things about Fire Emblem removed (durability, excessive single unit value). Really though, it's simply based on Master of Monsters and Warsong, but nobody has actually played those games.

>>14040096

You mean the game itself? It's pretty simple and easy to pick up

>>14033966

What's the best scenario for Wesnoth?

>>14035990

I just tried this. The game can seriously benefit from some control tuning, monster tuning, and variety of creatures. I assume the extremely high health pools are to offset the constant cheap shots you get from the flies off screen, but it would feel a lot better if your health was smaller, but the flies were shorter ranged and hurt more. Climbing platforms into flies just feels awful because you get hit by something that is off screen while the screen also scrolls very slowly on the vertical axis. None of the enemies are challenging or fun yet, just annoying right now.

Otherwise, I can't wait for this one to get finished.

>>14033966

The graphics of Wesnoth always bugged me, I'm not sure if it's the tile proportions or the way attack animations are handled though.

>>14035434

Do you have any examples besides that to justify "usually"?

>If you want a minecraft clone just use minetest.

Last time I tried Minetest it ran like shit on my toaster. I'm not really into the autistic stacking game, I am more interested in combat and exploration. Minecraft really isn't that interesting in that regard, it just does a job no other game did before. I thought Terraria would be more to my liking, but even that one has too much mining and crafting for my taste.

>>14040877

I got to one of the later missions on that a while back and found the difficulty spike gigantic. I've never finished it.

>freedom only has 2 levels

Holy shit you are retarded and can't even read their website.

Freedoom is actually two projects, Freedoom 1 and Freedoom 2.

First one is a fully fledged doom 1/The Ultimate Doom styled megawad with 4-episode levelset, at 9 maps per episode; The second one is a fully fledged Doom 2: Hell on Earth megawad with 32 maps, 30 standard and 2 secret just like the original; Both projects share assets and are not just levelsets but rather complete total conversions of original doom as they replace every single asset in the game, from textures and sounds to enemy behaviour and weaponry.

All the assets for both levelsets, which include pretty much EVERYTHING including enemy sprites and behaviour, weapon sprites and animations, sounds, music, etc. Are completely free under GPLv2 and thus reusable for any non-profit or for-profit endeavours as long as you don't break the GPL clauses.

>>14042393

Wouldn't work. You would have to sanitize the entire codebase to the point you might as well rewrite the whole damn engine.

>>14042453

Not sure what that means but if you meant it's a lot of work I guarantee there are sufficient people in the world who'd be willing to do it.

> Get sued by Blizzard for all you're worth, and even more

No one would dare to touch the code. This is why proprietary software is shit, even if you manage to save the source code you still can't even look at it. I would have loved to see an OpenSC, but there is no way that could have happened. Blizzard will rather let their products rot away then lose control. Look at how they declared Warcraft II not fun and just put it into the freezer instead of even releasing it as freeware.

>>14046385

Problem, what happens when a single video game (((corperation))) like blizzard owns all the dev studious and their past works? Does that mean no FOSS game devs because (((copyright))) and no source code releases, ever?

>>14043168

Does MKXP also have an editor, or is it in the same field of EasyRPG's "we'll get to it later" ruins?

>>14046605

Not at the moment. The main focus is getting Xp games running on as many platforms as possible. The focus of MKXP is also geared more for porting games than making new ones. Though I guess you could make MKXP part of an EasyRPG Xp if you wanted.

>>14042132

>Better pathfinding, infinite unit selection

What, and kill the game?

>>14045403

FOss stuff is aways slow in development, if it doesn't out right die. It doesn't matter if its vidya, an application, or some academic shit someone did for a dissertation.

>>14046658

This is probably bait, but looking at shit like Blender and Krita, that is objectively untrue.

>>14045403

Nah, people with the skills and the interest in Open Source/Libre games development won't abandon their labor for things like Steam. The audience for those projects would diminish, but not the actual people who contribute with code.

>>14035738

>OpenMW

Man, are you okay? Do you understand anything you are saying? Where the hell did you even pull OpenMW in this context, the message you are replying to doesn't mention or even imply any connection to OpenMW. Can you process anything you read or are you just rambling?

>128 completly nonsense posts

Oh, okay.

Did you learn about most of women being bisexuals from one of those japanese comics of yours?

>>14034160

They should just release the official source, this is one of my favorite games and I'm not sure how well a fanmade remake of it would fill its shoes.

>>14046943

For all we know, there is no source. It would be a lot easier to make Open Jazz better, I'd think anyway.

>>14046866

>Man, are you okay?

Are you? Unityfall is a proprietary engine running with some free scripts and assets. That is the reverse situation you have with OpenMW, GemRB and OpenRA. It also demonstrates why code matters more than assets when we are talking about freedom.

>>14046948

>there is no source

How do you know that?

>>14050381

First off, your artfag skills will need a lot of work if you plan on selling freetard vidya.

Your chances of living off making freetard vidya is the same as proprietary vidya: pretty low unless you keep living costs really low and people buy your shit often enough for a stable income. Amateur game development is something you do because you love making video games, not because you want to make loads of shekels.

Technically if your stuff is GPL'd other people could resell your game as long as they release the source code for any modifications they make, but a simple way of preventing that (and the route id Software used) is making your assets proprietary.

>>14050381

You can claim copyright on assets like art and music while still complying with GPL. Plus you can use the open sauce meme to advertise to autists

>>14050483

>>14050511

that doesn't stop touhou from making a quarter million dollars on it's steam game though.

>>14048584

What part of "for all we know" did you have problems understanding? It's basically Schrodinger's source code at this point. There's no way of knowing if they still have it or not.

>>14050381

>What are my chances of making a living by making open source games?

Look, being OSS in and of itself doesn't actually change much, as far as how much you might sell goes. Most fags never compiled anything from source in their lives. If you keep the assets non free then, legally speaking, pirating the game would be just as illegal as if it were proprietary.

>>14046674

I'm not sure the same case applies.

For tools and generally useful software like image editors, 3d modeling, operating systems, the development is funded easily because there are companies that rely on that software.

Things for entertainment like games don't have that same backing.
