Spring RTS Engine

0 AD is a rather promising opensource rts, it has nice art resources (that would work well in a fantasy/historical spring game maybe?), but they're struggling with their game code.. So check it out, maybe there are a few nice things that you can find there, or help out with


Site : http://wildfiregames.com/0ad/

Looks like a flash game.

If it where pre-rendered and dished out isometrically, maybe, but then it would be one heck of a pretty one. But its all 3d, and all there for anyone to use...

Thats not a flash game

I bet by the time it is released,in like 3 years,it wont look as promising.

:drool:

Can't wait to see the beta.

P.S. Jaz, what are you smoking?

Heh, just looked at the thumbnails of the screens and formed an opinion which I shouldn't have done. I apologise.

Would have been nice to necro this thread .

Hasn't this been in development for at least 4-5 years?

Yeah, sorry man, I searched and searched but couldn't find the old thread. Guess I should have done it manually

i notice they are appealing for votes on their main page.

perhaps spring mods should do this as well?

we intend to provide both Windows and Linux versions of 0 A.D.

Double yum indeed.

Anybody have info on how this actually plays? Sounds a bit like AoE judging by their site which doesnt sound too promising to me

Also 6 (and more later) different armies sounds really hard to balance... Reduces mapping possibilities so much.

It doesn't really play yet, they need gameplay devs! And I don't think balance would be such a big problem when it comes to maps.. And if it is just limit maps to one or two factions, easy as that

AoE2 still holds its ground when MP is considered. If 0AD plays out with a similar flow as AoE2 and the engine is easily moddable then this will definitely be very good.
