Try My Game: Battle for Wesnoth

[Sirp]

I've spent the last six months or so developing my own strategy game, and I'd love to hear what people here think of it.

It's got a fantasy/RPG theme to it, and it's freely available. The web page is here, or you can get the latest version right here (this version is for Windows, source code and versions for MacOSX and Linux are also available from the web site). It's still in development, so please excuse any instability.

A screenshot to whet your appetite, showing Elves and Men facing it off over a river, with battle taking place in the south:



Any comments are appreciated!

oooooh, looks interesting. Will have to try.

 

[a space oddity]

I did wonder where you where and what you where doing, so now we know. I'll will surely take a look at this. I've been a fan since your training day games.

 

[Achinz]

It really is gratifying to see this RPG being developed across different platforms - definitely worth supporting!

 

[Erik Mesoy]

I'll throw in a vote of support for it. That's because I'm one of the developers .

Sirp... just where is that shot from? Old version? I don't recognize the elven leader (Looks like an elven konrad, right above the mountains) and the stat info on the right also looks slightly old.
Incidentally, your sig leads to an old page, with a redirect to another old page. Point it to the new one.

Incidentally for, all your lurkers and wonderers, let me give some more info from my current version:
Units are shown on the minimap!
Units can be color-coded (like Civ3)

I'm developing the Undead Campaign.

Just another plug for this great TBS game

They are up to version 0.8.8, now, and it looks (and plays) as well as many commercial games. It is available for Windows, Mac OSX, and Linux.

 

[Erik Mesoy]

Ya know... it's incredible how little the "Soldier" in that pic has changed, while the rest of the game has passed it by.

 

[Reno]

Looks intresting will try it out...

 

[Reno]

Tryed it and looks promising! Good Work! BTW Who did the finnish (Suomi) translation of this? As i notice it's not fully translated, but a mixture of English and Finnish there and there.

 

[Ankka]

It has a Finnish translation?

Now I just have to try it.

 

[Reno]

It has a Finnish translation?

Just checked the credits and noticed that there are plenty of Finnish people working on this game development so i guess that's why theres one.

 

[Darth_Pugwash]

This game is alot better than I was expecting it to be when I downloaded it...good work!

 

[Erik Mesoy]

Swedish translation is the most complete. I used to work on the Norwegian one, but I fell off. Might just get working on it again.

>YOU< can help us translate, by the way.

 

[Reno]

>YOU< can help us translate, by the way.

Well i can help with the Finnish translation.

 

[Neomega]

I can't paly it tonight, but this looks great!

 

[Ankka]

This I great. I have been playing it for two days now and it's awesome, although I'm not very good at it... takes several tries to complete a campaign scenario usually.. The AI is quite smart and the game is designed very well.

to all the makers!

 

[Erik Mesoy]

The AI is annoyingly smart and still very exploitable. I promise you, by the time we're done you'll be wishing for a human opponent.

Hey, we're popular!

 

[Padma]

Hey, we're popular!

I hope so!

This is a quality strategy game that can be played natively on Mac OS X and Linux as well as on WIndows. You guys have done a fantastic job so far.

Some of you are Wesnoth Developers? Well, congrats on making this excellent game. I had noticed Wesnoth over at happypenguin one day and since then (ver 0.66-.70?) I've been enjoying it. The map generator is pretty good for quick MP games.

It's a shining example for open source games. Three , well earned.

P.S
If there's ever going to be a Wesnoth 2. Could it be in a modern fantasy setting (shadowrun, warhammer)?

 

[Toteone]

'Tis a shining game. Tried it myself and still playing it.
Only thing that annoys me is slow internet games are secondary characters dying off in the campaign and so ending it all in defeat.
