Spring

Post by Chroelle »

This game is supposed to be a remake of Total Annihilation, which I never played but got recommended quite a few times.

It was supposedly great amongst other things for its tech tree.

Download and developersite: http://spring.clan-sy.com/

Genre: RTS
Size: 13 MB
Year: 2001 (production still ongoing)
License: open source

Developers description:
Spring is an open source project. This means everyone with programming knowledge can contribute in the project. It also means this is made in free time.

Spring is currently in a Beta stage. This means it isn't done yet. Therefore, some things may be unclear or not user-friendly yet. (Like the GUI, which doesn't exist.) That said, Spring is still totally playable with many fan-made mods to choose from.


I have an idea that the whole beta stage thing wont be a problem.

I tried getting this game started but it simply takes so long to learn even to get that far, and then the descriptions of the maps are so vague that you are unsure if it is really worth it. There are no levels included in the gamedownload, and so you need to find them by downloading them via the launcher program. When you get that far you just have to figure out how to start the game from there. It took me so long that I lost the desire to play it in this go. If I return to it at some point I will try to help others get past the obstacles I ran into.
