Project mention: Ask HN: What older games are you playing through? | news.ycombinator.com | 2024-04-16After the movies, I wanted to experience Dune 2 again (the pirate sites have it, along with patches to make it playable on modern OSes or Crossover). It was arguably the first mass-market real-time strategy game. There's also OpenRA for C&C, Red Alert, and Dune 2K: https://www.openra.net/
I understand Square is re-making FF7 in a multi-part release over several years (not sure why it takes so long)? https://ffvii-remake-intergrade.square-enix-games.com/en-us/ Once it's all out, I might play through that again just for nostalgia's sake (and for the soundtrack, of course! Twenty years later, I still have Aeris's Theme stuck in my head from time to time)
Project mention: Zero-k: A libre sci-fi RTS game, with an economy based on metal and energy | news.ycombinator.com | 2023-11-19Seems the support would be a realistic feature, though, because it's based on https://springrts.com/ that does support MacOS X.
Project mention: Is there any game where you can design your own weapons/vehicles? | /r/computerwargames | 2023-12-10It is more an RTS than a 'classical' wargame, but you could do it in Warzone 2100. It is old for now (but it was very fun in 2000s). It could be fun for you today. There is a free and open source version : https://wz2100.net/ .
Unvanquished - FPS arena game with some RTS elements. C++, libRocket
Project mention: AI hit one of my obelisks while the deploy animation was going. Sent me ~1,000,00 power into the red. Deploying a GDI barracks fixed it later. Has anyone else seen this before? | /r/commandandconquer | 2023-12-09
Project mention: Monthly Update #9 from the Development of Digital Extinction a FOSS 3D RTS Made With<Bevy> | /r/rust | 2023-06-30The source code for Digital Extinction is available on GitHub. You can access it via the game's repository: https://github.com/DigitalExtinction/Game.
