A Year and a bit: What's happened?
/ tags: adastral open_fortress oftoast delta-tWell it’s been a bit, eh?
Sorry for not writing anything on this for a year and a bit, I’ve been “busy”.
Busy doing what, you may very validly ask.
…Well I finished my first year at university which was definitely an experience, but also working on other things.
To catch you up:
- Codename:Delta, formerly Delta-T, has been permenantly shelved. Codebase was too hard to work with and it was too ambitious for a first game.
- OFToast II was cancelled due to (amongst other things) TF2c just having a better solution than us. I’ll explain this later.
- Adastral has risen - a joint installer. For all the soucemods. (I mean of this sort of TF2 inspired mutltiplayer sphere that isn’t on steam due to the legal grey area)
It’s been a long year and a bit but it’s simultaneously gone really, really quick. There’s been drama of sorts, arguments, great progress, months of inactivity and everything inbetween.
I’ll make a follow-up post documenting the development of adastral, but for now:
- GPLv3 - heavily OSS
- GUI in Godot (toast2 didn’t entirely get binned (in spirit))
- Backend in C++
- Very Epic
Alright well, that’s about it for now.
