Spring RTS Engine

Guys I'm not trying to make a direct comparison, just offer some crude perspective (like an order of magnitude calculation). I was also aware of the disclaimer and that is partially the reason I posted direct links.

The bottom line is that money is probably not as much money as you think it is.

For some perspective: https://www.openhub.net/p/springrts/estimated_cost Estimated 'cost' of writing the spring engine: $8,538,676 https://www.openhub.net/p/Zero-K/estimated_cost Estimated 'cost' of writing Zero-K (including website, lobby, and other resources; excluding artwork): $15,601,503 Estima...

So, I guess I'm going to be the weird one out and say that I tried out galactic war last night and while I could see lots of areas lacking, there were also a lot of things that impressed me. The whole interface felt rather slick (especially the notifications), the warp gates were really cool, the mu...

And yes, FA's understanding of scripting is zero. I think beyond editing a few lines and copypasting stuff together (with instructions and help given by others) he has never written anything. Prove me wrong though. At very least his talent is extremly limited. There is nothing wrong with that, but ...

Funny that their first step to promote local small scale economics is to make a webpage, I doubt it will take off. Funny that the first step to improving communication is using the most efficient communication machine ever created? Meanwhile (at least in germany) in many cities there already exist ...

Bump to remind everyone that spring bash was lovely and I miss it. Who do I need to kiss to make everything ok?

and spent about 6 hours trying to set up compiler, linker, etc, but quit in frustration

What made you think you needed to compile and how might that be remedied so future potential developers are not similarly confused?

Great screens, im still waiting when ZK and Spring developers finally start to cooperate so ZK doesnt have to be stuck on 91 engine another years. Many other games are in 96 and have been for ages, so I don't think you can blame the engine for this. Afaik the main issue is in the automatic replay u...

Everything is definitely way larger.



Edit: Direct Comparison

Rest In Peace in peace?

It's a thing actually: http://knowyourmeme.com/memes/rip-in-peace

Now I really need a picture of Nemo to see if it matches the mental image that voice generates.

Actually, I like it

I don't think "cute" fits the art style or gameplay.

"Total Annihilation" was a great name because it sounded epic but was also slightly tongue-in-cheek; it sounded serious without actually taking itself too seriously. I think BA still fits really well within that theme.

You can likely control it through the animation script. Something like not returning any fire points when the unit is below a certain height above the land.

http://i.imgur.com/Vvr5W5f.png Any chance to replace this checkbox with something else? It looks like what you see if you lift your cat's tail and look at what's underneath. Otherwise the widget looks nice. Chili skins are stupidly easy to make; just go download the source and replace the correspon...

Im pretty sure you noticed that list -that just showing that things what they/you believe to have solved. It is currently a horror with ATI/AMD. Instead of bugs, you listed bug-fixes and then your "proof" of bugs was the insinuation that 1) Some bug-fixes did not work (of which you have n...

Sad but r-t-s-m-p is spring 94.1 based.

You might even say that Spring 96 is also Spring 94.1 based!

I think he specifically wants to recreate the appearance of water that has been polluted by dirty humans.

This idea of "buy bitcoins before they run out" seems like quite a bad trend for something which is supposed to be used as a currency. If you have to be an early adopter of this currency for it to work in your favour then it won't be widely used. Now, I'm not saying that bitcoins are a py...

Game developers not renamed these widgets even if they changed/fixed/updated them. Why should I change widget's original name? It's normal to rename something (at least slightly) if you fork it. Normal? I don't do normal. Shortly from now I will be announcing the release of decay BA v7.84 widgets p...
