Open Deadlock clone
Posted: Sun Oct 06, 2013 8:36 pm
Hello.
I would like to know if someone is working on a real open source clone of deadlock.
I acknowledge the efforts on the mod Sid Meier's Alpha Centauri mod, but I refer to something closer to the original game.
I'm talking about something similar to OpenTTD (engine reverse engineering and keep the rest), CorsiTH (create a new engine and keep the rest), OpenXcom (that uses files of a Xcom but I haven't tried it) even like TA Spring (create a new engine which uses sounds and 3D model files of TA). There are other success cases that don't use original files. (examples include freeciv and freecol).
Also, (optionally) I think Deadlock could be ported to become a browser game with multiplayer support and still maintaining all of its features and even improving something. It could be far better than the current browser games we can find these days. (I dislike every one I've tried because they try to force you to play everyday. I don't want something to play every day, I would like something like deadlock. I heard there's browser based freeciv nowadays, but a civ match takes too long, that makes me bored)
I have considered making one myself but I was unsure if I could keep it up for long. Seeing how there're more people interested it could become a fact, maybe.
