War$ow

Post by eMTe »

http://www.warsow.net/

War§ow is a free software/open source first-person shooter game for Microsoft Windows and Linux. It uses a 3D engine based on Qfusion (itself a modification of Quake II GPL engine). The game uses cartoonish graphics with cellshading style, mixing dark, flashy and dirty textures to achieve a unique look.

War§ow is still early no longer beta software.

The very competitive gameplay of War§ow focuses heavily on movement and trickjumping. Players use many tricks/bugs found in the Quake engine including strafejumping, doublejumping and rocketjumps. There are also tricks like the walljump and dash that were available in the UT series. These movements are all combined to improve the player's proficiency while moving around maps in-order to effectively collect powerups, confuse and overpower the enemy with speed and rapidness.

War§ow has a unique power-up system for weapons. Each weapon has normal ammo included with its pick-up. Ammo collected separately on the map makes it more powerful, and in the case of some weapons, changes its behavior slightly.

I remember I tried to compile this under my Fedora, but failed and had no time to search for the cause of the failure... Now when I look at the screenshots, I cannot help thinking that maybe I should give it another try :)

0.5 released in August 2009. Very slowly, but looks like it slowly crawls towards finish. Maybe in next decade.

Yeah, I noticed the news yesterday, but felt too lazy to post it here.

Warsow 2.0

Warsow is set in a futuristic cartoonish world where rocketlauncher-wielding pigs and lasergun-carrying cyberpunks roam the streets. Speed and movement is what Warsow is all about. Like a true cyberathlete you jump, dash, dodge, and walljump your way through the game. Grab power-ups before your enemy does, plant a bomb before anyone sees you, and steal the enemy’s flag before they know what is going on!
