An Open-Source MMORPG Using The Unigine Engine

[Joe Sixpack]

Heh, just tired of seeing yet another MMO when good single player games are lacking.

Thought it was just me. Linux doesn't even have a good single player FPS, yet alone a single player RPG.

Single Player > Multiplayer. I just like multiplayer games for a change of pace.

[Temar]

Me too. We already have a wonderful commercial AAA tittle mmorpg with linux suport like Ryzom.

I agree, I can't imagine them being more successful than Ryzom. Ryzom already has problems finding enough players to stay in business and they are available on all plattforms.

I think it is a huge mistake to develop a game where you have to pay a monthly fee.

Can I pledge $100 for them not to develop another MMORPG?

Actually, I was thinking about how I've heard a lot of talk recently that push-button MMOs are reaching end-of-life. I think there's some merit to that discussion, and certainly it's sad to see an open-source MMO right when that variant reaches the beginning of the end.

To clarify, I'm not saying push-button MMOs will die off in the next few years, but that they are at the start of a slow decline as the next generation (Blizzard's Titan?) take their place.

[Sacha]

I pledged $100. I hope it becomes something decent.
They aren't taking money now (I thought it would) but I'd be willing to give that $100 for a decent Linux-focused MMORPG.

amd64 will come; oilrush has 64bit binaries. mmt just didn't make one here, but the engine is fine with it.

I've pledged as well. Anything to realistically support Linux game dev.

[allquixotic]

Do I mean that?

Hehehehehehehe!

Either you have an NDA'ed build of source on Linux from Valve, or you're pulling everyone's leg with the Duke Nukem Forever ^H^H^H Steam on Linux sell again.

Oh btw, I am the guy who reported in for this article... I was dead wrong that it doesn't work with Mesa. It works as long as you have one of the supported drivers that works with libtxc_dxtn. You just need to hope that your driver has been optimized enough, and you have recent enough hardware, to get more than single-digit FPS in the otherwise correctly-rendered game world.

One more gripe: It's only x86 as of this writing. Where's amd64?

[Michael]

Obviously you mean source on wine on linux.

Do I mean that?
