Old games being open sourced is a trend I can get behind.
EA ? Did I read right ?
I'm ready for a zero hour remake!

Mmmmm pre-standard C++
RENEGADE!!!!!!!
Loved Renegade so much. Played the shit out of the MP back in the day.
That game seemed so underappreciated. I would be thrilled if I could have another LAN party with it.
Fuck EA but cool move - if they keep being not shit for long enough I might consider their products again.
Doubt they can keep it up.
Well I'm very excited to see the injection of life this hopefully gives c&c modding
I wonder how many of the old guard are still around, I'm glad the cncnet project is still going strong
Holy shit.
I hope they opensource Dungeon Keeper.
Can you say why? The opensource project is already insanely good.
To make the opensource project even better! :P
The compiler has optimized the rendering engine too much to be decompiled into any useable code. Somebody is working on Linux and 64bit support which will need to have this completely rewritten. https://github.com/dkfans/keeperfx/blob/master/src/bflib_render_gpoly.c
The maintainer of KeeperFX told me that EA does not have the original code anymore though.
Finally someone can fix Twilight Flame
