Re: [glob2-devel] Is this project dead?

[Michiel De Muynck]

I still like this game too. I unfortunately don't have the time to work on it anymore (or to play it) but I wouldn't mind being a mentor for anyone who would like to become a developer for this game.

Happy holidays,

Migi

The game isn't going to disappear. If we can find people who want to work on it I can spend the time to put together a project plan to revitalize it, fix up the networking code, fancier graphics, etc. I just don't have the time to pick up c++ again or learn how to do graphics design for fancy assets. The networking code always gave us a headache as you started to add more people so I would think that would be the first thing needing a revamp. What do the rest of you guys think?

This game is alive. It is at map making stage. Players can create own maps, upload to yoga and share custom levels. Please do not remove.

Seems like everyone is moving on to something different.

I could help making Globulation post-quantum secure... but I don't know
if it could even apply^^

Have nice Holidays!
