Spring Engine mentions (24)

• Zero-k: A libre sci-fi RTS game, with an economy based on metal and energy

  Seems the support would be a realistic feature, though, because it's based on https://springrts.com/ that does support MacOS X. - Source: Hacker News / 7 months ago

• Alternative Game Engines for Marooned Unity Developers

  Springrts: Designed for 3D rts games. May be worth looking into if that's what you're making. The site is kind of lack luster so I didn't do too much digging around. Source: 9 months ago

• OpenRA – Classic strategy games rebuilt for the modern era

  ...or Total Annihilation Spring, nowadays known as Spring RTS: https://springrts.com/. - Source: Hacker News / 10 months ago

• What is your favorite open source Linux game? Mine is Wideland (Best way to describe is the way Settlers 3 should have been)

  My current favorite is Beyond All Reason. Before BAR, my favorite was Zero-K. Both BAR and zk use the same game engine, SpringRTS. BAR and zk are very similar to one another, and they're successors for Total Annihilation and Supreme Commander. Source: about 1 year ago

• Permafrost engine – An OpenGL RTS game engine written in C

  Obligatory mention of another open source RTS engine (lineage tracing back to the original Total Annihilation): https://springrts.com/. - Source: Hacker News / about 1 year ago

• Roll20 Sheet for Trinity Continuum?

  The closest I've found to a useable Trinity sheet is on astraltabletop.com where they have the quickstarts pre-configured. The sheets there are pretty primitive and irksome to use, though. Source: over 2 years ago

• GM'ing Online - How do I avoid feeling like I'm building an automated game?

  I have a few recommendations based on your concerns. Find a VTT that fits your playstyle. Let the players keep their own character sheets. Have everyone roll real dice. Only use a VTT for sharing maps and placing tokens. owlbear.rodeo or astraltabletop.com have clean, simple interfaces. With a little practice, you can draw maps using owlbear as if you were in person. It has no automation so you don't need... Source: almost 3 years ago

• Want a break from your Main Campaign ? PRISON BREAK INSANITY is a Free 5th level Adventure Full of clockwork monsters, chase sequences and an intense dungeon crawl

  I'd recommend putting it up on Astral as well. Source: almost 3 years ago

• Looking at new virtual tabletop to migrate away from roll20, any recommendations?

  Check out Astral Tabletop https://astraltabletop.com. It's like a much more modern Roll20 in active development. Source: about 3 years ago

• Which form of online playing do you prefer, and why?

  Astral Tabletop https://astraltabletop.com currently has my attention. A free account is somewhat limited, and I can imagine you may need to only have uploaded whatever assets you need for the next session due to space limitations, but it's easier to use and way more pretty than anything else I've tried.
