I don't know much about the very beginning since I was introduced to UFO:AI during its second lifespan. Well we created something like that, only better.
Geever: I bet you all know what is “UFO:Alien Invasion” can hardly find a gamer who doesn't know of the classic UFO/X-COM series. ** Battlescape - view of the map where the tactical battle takes place ( link ) But if you meant the single player campaign, we need more contributors on the art side to finish all our goals. Personally I think that an open source game will never be completed - there are always guys that love to tweak and extend things. The "completion" itself is a hard to measure value. New features on the Battlescape should also get implemented. The single player campaign will, of course, also be continued - but our Battlescape** experience did not get much love recently - this should get changed. There are several ideas out there, for the next version my personal plan is to push the multiplayer gameplay with the help from contributor H-Hour. The future plans are quite simple: Make the game complete ). * code_swarm is a visualisation software that shows peoples' commitment to a project ( link ) There is a little codeswarm* video on YouTube that might give an impression on how many contributors we had. Without the help of a lot of contributors we wouldn't be where we are today. Since then we got working on the "completion" of the game - and in my opinion we have come a long way. The project was halted a few months until I was allowed to (re-)release it on Sourceforge in January 2006.
This was the time I was already working as a freelancer for the team. They lost the motivation somewhere along the way in 2005. Mattn: I think there are two starts of UFO:AI - one was with the original team of Herby, Rasta, SparxX and later Sacrusha. How did it all begin, where's it at now, what are the future plans? Maybe a guess on its “completion”? Great, now that we know each other how about telling us a short summery about UFO:AI? I'm currently living near Hamburg in Germany and work as a Java software developer. Later this turned into something else entirely. decided to continue contributing while simultaneously refreshing my knowledge of traditional programming languages before I start my university studies. I played a bit, found some bugs, submitted patches, and. I joined the project back in 2008, around the same time version 2.2.1 was released - been looking for a good Linux game and found this one. I mostly code the campaign-part of UFO:AI and some other client side stuff. I'm Tamás Fehérvári, a 28 year old programmer from Budapest, Hungary. Please do introduce yourselves to our readers we enjoy meeting new people! However, it's neither a sequel nor a remake of any X-COM or other commercial title: "What we as a team wanted to make is a brand new experience that tries to surpass the quality of games from 1992, rather than simply recreate them with flashier graphics." The game takes a lot of inspiration from the X-COM series by Mythos Games and MicroProse. The game aims to combine military realism with hard science-fiction and the weirdness of an alien invasion and the turn-based system is supposed to give the player pin-point control of his/her squad while maintaining a sense of pace and danger. UFO: Alien Invasion is a squad-based tactical strategy game in the tradition of the classic X-COM series of games (the player controls a secret organization charged with defending Earth from a brutal alien enemy).
