I guess quite a few people were waiting for this to finally happen :)

They also did a nice introduction video a few months ago:



Haven't got the chance to try it myself yet, but this is high on my list of open-source games to play!

Citadel makes big promises

Gambar
There's a new big remake effort a-brewing in the Free Software world, this time for prominent shooter/RPG, System Shock . under the shape of project Citadel . According to project description, the goal is to recreate the original game using the widely known GPLed platform Darkplaces Engine , upgrading the game's graphics to full 3D but keeping game aesthetics close to the origianl game. Added modding capabilities and cooperative multiplayer will also be a part of the project.  Details, however, are somewhat scarce, so far, as development is happening behind closed doors, and creator Josiah Jack just announced the existence of the project itself after months of programming in secret. While the code will certainly be all GPL or GPL-compatible due to Darkplaces licensing requirements, the game appears to rely on original proprietary assets, as well as using its own whose license nature is yet to be disclosed. With a release date planned for the the 23rd of December, System Shock...

DevCorner: FreeDink sound design replacements

Gambar
FreeDink is older than some kids that downloaded open source games on their own by now. The two main cornerstones of the game are: low resolution, twisted humor. One really cool thing about FreeDink is that you can play it in a browser . Anyway, I worked on replacing some sounds years ago and just recently the same bug bit me again and I made replacements for all sounds that didn't have free versions of themselves yet. For creation, I remixed a *lot* of freesound.org sounds and uploaded all the remixes right back there . The attribution feature of Freesound is quite cool, especially if very different sounds are made (see screenshot above). However, I underestimated how much effort it takes to test them and to give some clarity to myself as well as share the process with the world, I made a video showing the steps taken for testing sounds: I could not have done it without the excellent documentation and progress report . I will continue testing and hopefully, soon all the audio wil...

Games with G (Gorynlich & Gigalomania)

Gambar
Great news for people who like GGGGames ;) The author of the new action roguelike dungeon crawler kind of darwen mayham game Gorynlich was so kind to inform us his game. It comes with this funny trailer (and some great programmer's art :p ): The code is licensed under the LGPL, while the assets are only freeware right now. But the author seems to be open to look into replacing the assets with Creative Commons licensed ones if someone is interested in doing so. Gorynlich is done by the same author as the ASCII game Goblin Hack by the way. Another nice game starting with G, is the awesome remake of the oldie Megalomania, appropriately called Gigalomania ! The author is still looking for improved art asset contributions, but the game itself is already quite playable (even on mobile devices and a bunch of other rare systems!). Also check out the other two cool games by the same developer: Erebus RPG and Conquests (a Civ like game) .
