This website has been completely redesigned today. In fact the difference is not
visible at first look, because it is more a content re-organization than a
visual change. The HTML code is now W3C compliant, the URL and pages titles are
more pertinent. A big effort has been made for facilitating the job of Mr Google
and other search engines
.
I have also added two new pages that will count a lot for me in the future:
- The Coop or die 2 page is currently the
main place for information about my new project. Working on a new project
entirely dedicated to co-operative play with my WorldServer technology is
not new. My goal was already the same in 2002 with the
"War against the cyborg"
project, powered by the Quake2 GPL engine and Steve Yeager's AceBot. In 2005
I have also attempted to concretise it with a
tank game
using the
Max Shelekov's models
and the GarageGames's Torque Engine. These two projects were canceled
by the amount of work needed and the lack of progress.
But the big moves in the free game scene during the last years has made my
project a lot more viable. Initially I have considered to relaunch the
"War against the cyborg" concept as an
OpenArena
modification. Finally the
Tremulous
game as more seduced me.
The quality of the media (models/textures/maps/sounds) and the "humans vs aliens"
theme has really pleased me, even if the initial lack of bots was a
problem. But due to the Open Source nature of the Tremulous project, third
party developers have already started to release some promising bots, and I'm sure
the better is to come.
-
The Tremulous Bots Index is a sort of reminder
about everything related to the development of computer bots for the Tremulous game.
I will maintain this page up to date as far as I can.
