New Games possible?

Well spoken!

@Phantom

On the wiki link I posted the other day of open-source games I came across PlaneShift so installed it on my mac here.

Its a MMORPG, the graphics on full detail are quite impressive and shaders can be turned on or off (interestingly they are off by default). When you have time kas1e can you take a look have a see if it can be ported?

Eternal Lands is already ported to AROS, so it might be easy(?).

@Phantom

If i remember right, etherland use shaders. I can't be sure 100%, but as far as i remember, deadwood start to works on mesa for aros because of that game (i.e. other implementation was not solution, only full mesa). What make me think that is shaders based.

But, you can check it yourself on site use it shaders or not, and if not, we can try to port it as well.

@kas1e

I think it uses shaders.

To be precise I would like to have a poker game, like this one here which is still developed and not being abandoned:

Also I'm searching for an open-source adventure game (like point 'n' click one) but didn't find any yet.

@Phantom

There has been a great point and click game set in a future world. It was a game from the years 95+, one of the last Amiga games ever made. I do not remember the title unfortunately not the developer.

What about a Playstation 2 emulator?Sam460 and x1000 must be strong enough for this

What about, Shank, Dirt 3, Black Ops, Mafia II, James Bond 007: Blood Stone, Lost Planet 2, Fallout: New Vegas, Star Wars: The Force Unleashed II, just to name a few, lol.

Seriously, until we have the adequate raw power and the technological standards, porting good games is a no - go. Even indie games or games from small companies, require all the things we miss: All games from Amanita Design http://www.amanita-design.net/ , are awesome, Shank can blow your mind as one of the best beat 'em up, Trine, new Alien Breed series, Danger Balls, World of Goo.

Anyhow, here is a very simple and new platform game shoot 'em up I finished recently: Cave Story, Trailer -> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cr0CCkH49g0 and here is the free download for various platforms -> http://www.cavestory.org/downloads_1.php

edit: If someone is up to the task here is an eyecandy platform , EmberWind trailer -> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8nesHR6EFn0&feature=related and site http://www.timetrap.se/emberwind/

Free or opensourced ? Free game are not open-sourced by default. As i can see its just free (without sources), and if i am right there, you can try to contact with authors of the game, and ask for sources , and we can try to port it.

@kas1e

Hmm it seems just free.

Tremoulous is open sourced http://tremulous.net/screenshots/

0ad looks promising although it is on alpha stage http://wildfiregames.com/0ad/

What about this game also http://www.scorched3d.co.uk/

Or an good Arcanoid clone http://lgames.sourceforge.net/index.php?project=LBreakout2

Or Frozen Bubble http://www.frozen-bubble.org/downloads/

Free Orion is a good candidate too http://www.freeorion.org/index.php/Screenshots

Alien Arena rulezz also http://icculus.org/alienarena/rpa/aquire.html

Vega Strike is the best free/open source space sim http://vegastrike.sourceforge.net/

Unknown Horizons is an open source Anno clone (RTS) http://www.unknown-horizons.org/

Steel storm is an intensive top-down shoot'em up http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3fAVk05OyGQ , http://www.steel-storm.com/content/?page_id=6

Anyway, I have most of the open source in my game's collection. 9/10 are crap some are good. I believe that the above list should cover many genres. If they are portable I don't know.

@kas1e

Not sure but IMHO Eternal Lands doesn't use shaders, almost first release for AROS was released before the arrival of Mesa/Gallium ...

Quote:

Maybe an earlier client version didn't use shaders, but a newer one might use.

@Cool_amigaN

LBreakout2 exists as a 2.5.2 build. 0 AD looks like it wouldn't be enjoyable on current OS4 hardware but what do I know.

Now when we got Nexuiz i wonder what kas1e will upload to os4depot next time?

i have a small working exe of ELC but it has a lot of problems and crash a lot. that's because it is not fully tested on PPC platforms

@afxgroup

@afxgroup

What's ELC?

Quote:

@Antique

Ethernal Lands client..

@Antique

Its that game with the dodgy graphics at the top of this page, hardly worth porting unless Afxgroup plans to redraw the graphics and re-code the engine lol

In that screenshot why is Spock (a vulcan) in a medieval setting sat in the grass doing yoda? Whats it all about? :S
