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.

    Weakling. It isn't a good game unless you have wasted YEARS playing it. %-)

    Does that mean that Gamespot are commercially exploiting the source? ;-)
