Meteor is freaking awesome, and I think many aspiring programmers (including me) would learn very much from studying the code. Free knowledge for everyone!  I mean, like, why not?

I am considering this under a GNU Licence. The code is in a pretty bad state by modern standards. It is Visual C++ and Allegro 4. It is not OO. Not sure what people think about this idea. You need to login to create posts in this thread. |

@olevonpeter I agree, there are some bugs that could be fixed and a Meteor 2.5 would be awesome =) You need to login to create posts in this thread. |

I am aiming for the following in stages... 1) Update the current versions of Mowteor, GFI, Meteor 1 and Meteor 2 C++ versions, remove the unstable multiplayer code completely and keep them free. Possibly remove the the Mowteor (not Meteor/Meteor2) map editor. Meteor 1 and 2 will be fully moddable. 2) Create updated commercial versions of Mowteor (with map editor), Meteor 1 and Meteor 2 in Unity to sell on Steam (cheaply) with proper online multiplayer. Some assets and maps would need to replaced for legal reasons. Meteor 1 and 2 will be fully moddable with Steam integration. 3) Update these forums. 4) Create 2 all-new Meteor games for Steam, a 2D sequel (M3 confirmed) and a possible 3D spin off (an open world sandbox with scripting and mission editor).

Wow, sounds cool. Imagine Meteor on steam, what a time to be alive!  Might as well make an official jbplay discord server too.  I know your estimations tend to be quite a bit off but I wonder about when can we expect these stuff?

Sounds neat! l'd love to see Meteor on steam! Will all the editors be remade too? And are there any plans on releasing the original source code after the updates? You need to login to create posts in this thread. |

Happy 2020 everyone With the great computer standards of our age, we can also increase amount of sprites, mapsizes etc with little concern. Ran out of mapsize and sprite limit in my open world M2 project haha... Edited: 01 January 2020 23:12 You need to login to create posts in this thread. |

sounds grand - will the unity version pull the original sprites and stuff in so you could edit from the original meteor editor? You need to login to create posts in this thread. |
