0 A.D. Game Goes Open-Source

[mirv]

They're right about needing to fix a few compile bugs....but I rather suspect that hasn't been a priority for them (as it would, after all, compile on the dev's ssystems).

I still remember the discussions on gamedev.net about this game. Awesome music, too. Excited!

Edit: the game's main theme.

Thanks for the link to the music, its nice.
Makes me wish I knew something about programming so I could help out on this project.
Looks awesome.

Indeed a great theme and the game looks really nice. Hopefully we'll see a playable version in a few month!

The graphics look good, but don't get your hopes op.

We're not releasing a playable game ? you'll have to wait until much later if that's what you're interested in. There are plenty of major missing features and bugs and rough edges.

...

The code isn't all extremely clean or extremely modular or extremely well-written. It's been written by a wide variety of programmers, and it's far from a "completed" codebase.

The graphics look amazing!

The Screens look great. I'll try building it, but this:

- Fix all the compiler errors somehow.

Doesn't give me much hope. :P

Might be good to try this out after work...

Really great news! I will definitely be giving this a try when my distro gets it packaged. The screenshots look very good, but does anyone know what the gameplay is like?

Wow, 8 years. I wonder what took them so long, but I guess we should be grateful that they turned around and didn't "move on".
This is exciting!
