Zod Engine Michael Bok Nighsoft www 2011-09-02 Remake of Z by Bitmap Brothers <p>The Zod Engine is an open source remake of the 1996 game Z by the Bitmap Brothers written in C++ using the SDL library for Linux / Windows / Etc. <p>The Story and Gameplay...<br /> In Z you were a commander under General Zod in his attempt to conquer the universe. Your team, Brad and Allan, went from site to site and planet to planet pushing back the Blue forces while getting yelled at by General Zod. In the Zod Engine the doors are opened up so that you can play all the levels and make new levels the way you've always wanted to. The Zod Engine is more then just a remake of Z however, it is a fully commercially supported online game that is perpetually running at all times. Players can connect and disconnect at any time. <p>The Zod Engine is a MMORTS / RTS style game. In the game you command an army of robots and vehicles to take over neighboring territories in the ultimate goal of destroying all of your enemies. Unlike traditional RTS (Real Time Strategy) games the Zod Engine does not create units from collected resources but instead construction is constant from preset factories scattered throughout the level. <p>What is New?<br /> The Zod Engine is a multiplayer oriented game where as Z is a single player oriented game. It provides many improvements and takes away many boundaries to provide more of a continuation and modernization of Z instead of a remake. Best approached as a new game even though "it is the same". strategy free img on off off on on on 2011-03-22 4 2011-03-27 19:15:27 30572 www SDL SDL_ttf SDL_mixer SDL_image libmysqlclient wx 2011-09-03 11:17:32 on

Zlog Arthur Huillet www www About Zlog (on the project's website) www Storyline of Zlog 0.3.4 Zlog is a 2d platform game, more or less like Supertux Zlog is a 2D platform game. Basically, you jump on platforms and kill ennemies, like in many other games out there. The concept itself is not very original - that's why Zlog is aimed at providing a unique gameplay. It is for the moment pretty much like SuperMario (or Supertux), since the weapon subsystem is not yet implemented. It should heavily rely on the plot - what most platform games lack. arcade unknown img on on on off off off 2005-04-28 4 2005-04-28 13:24:57 11095 www The Allegro game programming library is required in its version 4.1.18.
