Title: Homeworld Source Code Released
Post by: wonea on September 30, 2003, 11:21:43 PM

Source code to Homeworld released.  Not GPL, but open source.  Could be interesting to see a MorphOS, AROS, & AOS4 port!

Homeworld Universe (http://dynamic2.gamespy.com/~homeworld/site/modules.php?op=modload&name=News&file=article&sid=66)

YES! WOOOOHOOO!

YEAH!

Plus it has decent OpenGL support.

I suppose you still need the original CD for the artwork/levels... never mind...

As a rule I don't play games. At all. Not even a little bit. The last game I played to finish was Homeworld :-) Kept me busy for hours - a 3D strategy game.

I've seen the demo of HW2, looks impressive too. I've got less and less time for games these days though  :-(

I just got Homeworld 2 in the mailbox today. A nice surprise. Haven't tried it out yet though.  :-)
