Spring Engine Reviews

Endless Sky Reviews

Spring Engine mentions (24)

• Zero-k: A libre sci-fi RTS game, with an economy based on metal and energy

  Seems the support would be a realistic feature, though, because it's based on https://springrts.com/ that does support MacOS X. - Source: Hacker News / 6 months ago

• Alternative Game Engines for Marooned Unity Developers

  Springrts: Designed for 3D rts games. May be worth looking into if that's what you're making. The site is kind of lack luster so I didn't do too much digging around. Source: 8 months ago

• OpenRA – Classic strategy games rebuilt for the modern era

  ...or Total Annihilation Spring, nowadays known as Spring RTS: https://springrts.com/. - Source: Hacker News / 8 months ago

• What is your favorite open source Linux game? Mine is Wideland (Best way to describe is the way Settlers 3 should have been)

  My current favorite is Beyond All Reason. Before BAR, my favorite was Zero-K. Both BAR and zk use the same game engine, SpringRTS. BAR and zk are very similar to one another, and they're successors for Total Annihilation and Supreme Commander. Source: about 1 year ago

• Permafrost engine – An OpenGL RTS game engine written in C

  Obligatory mention of another open source RTS engine (lineage tracing back to the original Total Annihilation): https://springrts.com/. - Source: Hacker News / about 1 year ago

Endless Sky mentions (32)

• Naev – open-source game about space exploration, trade and combat

  Sounds very similar to Endless Sky[1] - another open source game drawing on the old Escape Velocity games. I really enjoyed both Endless Sky and the Escape Velocity games, so I'll have to check out Naev at some point! [1] https://endless-sky.github.io/. - Source: Hacker News / 5 months ago

• 6 free games updated in the last 60 days

  #2 - Endless Sky - ALSO inspired by Escape Velocity, but IMO this is more polished Escape Velocity clone and could reasonably be called the modern successor. EXCELLENT space trade/piracy/combat and definitely take some good strategy to get far into the game. Source: 10 months ago

• [Spoilers likely] the power level of endless sky compared to other universes

  Bottom left of the website has discord invite link https://endless-sky.github.io. Source: 11 months ago

• Where can I find projects that are 'open source' in a broader sense than just code/programming?

  I would love to see blueprints of some of the ships in endless sky. Source: 12 months ago

• What is your favorite open source Linux game? Mine is Wideland (Best way to describe is the way Settlers 3 should have been)

  I used to love tactical RPGs, but as I've aged I don't have the patience for them. I really wanted to play Battle of Wesnoth (https://www.wesnoth.org/), but it was not to be. Then I found this gem and it scratched my space sim itch, https://endless-sky.github.io/. Source: about 1 year ago
