Soldat 1.4 Released

FliesLikeABrick writes "Soldat 1.4 has finally been released. After 19 months since the announcement, this version adds multi-byte language support, many new features available to registered players, a ton of bugfixes, and a new lobby server and protocol. It took a lot of time and effort, but the largest update to Soldat has finally been posted and made available. While there are surely going to be some new bugs introduced, the new version is available for free at the game's site. From the site: 'Ladies and Gentlemen, I know you have all been (im)patiently waiting for Soldat 1.4. Thanks to all that contributed to this version. This version was a collaborative effort and it wouldn`t happen without you. ... So without further delay, it is with your encouragement, criticism and support from you all that I can happily release Soldat 1.4 to you all to enjoy. Please use the torrent link provided to help distribute Soldat 1.4 for others and ease server load, and seed for as long as you can.'"

A little one liner about what Soldat is would have been helpful.

Soldat is like multiplayer Quake but it's a 2D platform game. You run around the level, bounce from platform to platform, use jetpacks, and shoot other online players.

Here is the main page: http://www.soldat.pl/main.php

Basically it's a 2D side scroller multiplayer shooter with lots of weapon.
Never played it, but it seems like a lot of fun :)

Re:Isn't it a little old?

[Cadallin]

Yes, because once content becomes more than six months old it becomes immediately boring, un-entertaining. No one could ever enjoy playing a retro-styled game, or re-experiencing a game they enjoyed in the past. That's why emulators have no user-base whatsoever. It's also very clear that due to the limitations of 2D graphics, no one could ever invent new and involving forms of game play while limited to 2D, it just wouldn't work at all.

After all, fun analyzing new and more accurate forms of lens flare and ever higher resolution Bump maps! Trace the edges of shadows and how many pixels of blur they've got, and Count those triangles, yeah baby!

Re:Mac, anyone?

You see, we Mac users have these acquaintances we call our "friends," with whom we can "go out" and "socialize," maybe having a drink or three, or shooting speedballs, or even stealing a casual fuck in the bathroom of Union Pool.

PC Gamers get laid too you know. The main difference is that for us, it's usually with women.
