Aquaria Goes Open Source

Posted by Soulskill on from the come-on-in-the-water's-fine dept.

A post on the Wolfire blog yesterday announced that the source code for Aquaria has now been released. Aquaria, an action-adventure, underwater sidescroller from Bit Blot, was part of the Humble Indie Bundle, which was so successful that the developers of four games pledged to release them as open source. This marks the final release, following Lugaru, Gish, and Penumbra: Overture. The source code is available from a Mercurial repository.

    Open source gets yet another shitty third rate bit of code.

    The difference is the Quake, Quake II and Quake III engines were still revolutionary when they were released as open source. These game engines (even Penumbra's) are crap compared to stuff that is already freely available.
