Linux Port of Disciples 2 Announced

Posted by michael on from the linux-gaming-now-slightly-less-feeble dept.

bobz writes "Happypenguin is reporting that Linux Game Publishing has announced the next game they'll port to Linux will be Disciples 2: Dark Prophecy a turn-based strategy game that was well-reviewed but not terribly successful commercially. /me breathes a sigh of relief that it's not another first-person shooter."

    Hi,
    I'm currently working a 3D version of Freecraft, which in turn is a 3D version of Warcraft.
    It is comming along quite nicely, and if anyone would like to give a hand with the models or coding or anything, you would be welcome.

    See a kinda old screenshot at http://130.88.226.154/snap4.png
    The game is progressing very quickly - trees are in now, units expected with a week, etc.

    Anyway, message me through slashdot or email or anything.

      well.. the thing is that I had sort of wanted to leave it until I had the gui done up a bit more - knowing how much gui's say. That's always the problem - do you advertise it too early and risk everyone shrugging it off as vapourware, or leave it till later in the project but takes you longer because you don't have any other coders.. For a few other links, since you insisted so nicely: http://130.88.226.154/practical-starting-guide-for -writing-clients.html HOWTO-Atlas.html hmm that will do for now... :)
