February 12, 200917 yr That makes me want Q2... Probably real cheap these days, huh?No need for Quake II to play this...
February 13, 200917 yr No need for Quake II to play this...Huh? A standalone? What about engine rights etc?
February 14, 200917 yr I was just exposed to this yesterday and let me say, its very impressive for what it is. Me and my friend have been looking for a MULTIPLAYER squad combat turn based game for ever and I think we've just found it. Just install the EXE, its open source.. no Quake II required as mentioned above. The single player game is also done well, the only trick is that you can't save during missions... that's something the author has been very adamant about so plan ahead
February 14, 200917 yr Huh? A standalone? What about engine rights etc?As CapnKill mentions, Quake II is opensource. It was made so by ID a few years ago. Thank you ID!
February 15, 200917 yr Isn't Q3 open as well now? Or am I mixing things again?That it is! id Software has released quite a few sources...
