The Battle for Wesnoth Forums

I remember this campaign. It was one of my favorites. I guess it was a victim of engine creep.

On second thought, the most important thing is to get to know as many people as possible and stay in touch with them after college. Your jobs are going to come from acquaintances in your network. Skills aren't really that important. It doesn't matter if you have ten phds in math, if no one likes you...

Yeah, actually, they were all made explicitly for this game and many many artworks that were not good enough were turned down, and several of the portraits with through several revisions until with come up with this complex pseudo-realistic style that took several hours for a top notch professionall...

Its been a while since I have played Battle for Wesnoth, years actually. I don't know why I came back here. I guess to be a pain. I feel like a lot that has gone on with this game is "turd polishing." like it is a nice and shinny turd filled with "quality" but a turd none the less. It looks like all...

http://retux.nongnu.org/ -Retux a great platformer (easier than supertux) https://sourceforge.net/projects/apz/ (adventures on planet Zephulor, I haven't played in a while, but I have fond memories, I just wish someone would polish it. www.wograld.org - alright, I'll admit this is my project, but it...

Do you think that programmers are inherently better game designers than say artists? writers? music composers? bug reporters? I know obviously game design is a complex thing and includes level design. Game design also encompasses all of those disciplines (code,art,music, writing etc) and more, but I...

I liked Master of Magic and Heroes of Might and Magic 1, 2, and 3.

It sounds like you enjoy software. Stick with the software stuff. Keep your skills current and up to date. I highly advise working on something like Wograld, and putting skills to practical use because the moment you forget about things like git and the latest version of Java.. you will be getting b...

I've noticed the site is down, taken offline for some reason it looks like. I've also noticed the project on sourceforge seems very inactive for some reason. (As in no development work going on) Did everyone just up and abandon it?

Okay, first of all, Hale is not my game, as in I did not have any hand in developing it. It is written in Java so I don't have to worry about broke SDL libraries or any dependency hunts. Given the tiny size of the development team (less developers than wograld at the moment) however, I doubt most of...

No linux version and no source code. It is unplayable in wine (although it starts working the menus just don't look quite right.

Honestly, I don't think graphics are going to make or break a game like The Mana World so as long as they stick to the secret of mana style. I used to really hate that game because of dependancy hunt. The things it probably needs are better storyline, better music and sound effects, and also better ...

It compiles and runs, and it saves, but for some reason when I try to load the save it crashes.

Other than that though it is pretty good for a small text based game.

I still can't get allacrost installed. I don't understand why everyone tries to develop games from scratch, why don't they just take an already working game and modify it until it does what is desired. My latest error (on Fedora 10, I tried to install a later version but it didn't work) checking for...

I tried to test it out, and it looks like just another version of dependency hunt. As everyone knows there is one game popular game for linux, it is called dependency hunt. You can never get anything installed because of all the dependancies. [jastiv@localhost zaubercode]$ python game.py [jastiv@loc...
