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.

    Sorry, I don't think a fat penguin swimming around GIMP Flame generated backgrounds and gradient flares , coupled with obviously lifted copyrighted "free" sounds and Descent explosions is going to be a viable equal.

    Sorry.

      The saddest thing is that these zealots actually BELIEVE that open source games look good or that it's possible to create good looking graphics with GIMP.

    They opensourced the engine, but not the data. Unless somebody creates alternative data, then this is a non-story. http://blog.wolfire.com/2010/06/Aquaria-goes-open-source#disqus_thread
