Hello,
I want to introduce you new project, called OpenXcom. If anyone of you know OpenTTD, it's similar to it. Basically it's open source implementation of original x-com engine. In other words, it's new executable which must be used with original x-com game. What are the advantages of such project?
Unlimited
To name a few:
- ports to new platforms (amiga, android and symbian is in progress)
- bugfixes
- removing of limits of original game
- balance changes
- translation to other languages
- interface improvements
- higher resolutions
- new units, new weapons, new ships, new everything
Of course everything needs to be programmed. But thanks to open source code, everything will be possible for someone who knows C++.
Now project concentrates on reimplementing original gameplay and features. After 1.0 version, probably new features will be implemented.
