Freespace 2 Source Code Released

Posted by chrisd on from the time-wasting-perfection dept.

Initri writes "I read a news article (here) on Gamespot that the Freespace 2 source code has been released by Volition. You can download it there, or you can also download it here. Since I don't have the game installed anymore, I wasn't able to try out the code, but it did successfully compile under MSVC 6.0. Looks like there's a lot of learning potential here." Freespace 2 was one of my favorite games, and I wasted many hours playing it.

    I think the important question to ask is not whether this is only the engine, but whether the source includes art material and stuff like that...e.g. models and textures and stuff like that. Otherwise it's just a bunch of code without stuff to do
