Beta Release?

[crhy]

Seems like the game is pretty playable already. Even if it's rough around the edges, can we get a beta? Thanks in advance!

It's too buggy and featureless even for a pre-alpha, but I'll try to do some sort of release when we get more stuff running.

[crhy]

Well I'm beyond pumped! Thanks guys!!!!

I think it might be worth having a discussion on what features we would need for an Alpha release.

Off the top of my head this would be:

1. Save & Load support
2. A basic AI
3. Completed city screen
4. Working menus

Can you think of anything else?

[axx0]

I agree. Also get basic unit commands working (many of which already work).
And making sure the gameplay loop is stable, basically with as few crashes as possible.

The idea of a fully open source civ 2 clone on android...... No one will ever work again. LOL

Hey guys! I'm working on a new Linux distro that is going to be sweet. It's loosely based on Peppermint Devuan, but with a focus on being easy to use and incorporating fresh flatpaks. Can't wait for a beta so I can include Civ 2 out of the box. <3

Saw some code updates today! Yay! <3

[crhy]

Any updates on what you're working on? I come check all the time. LOL

I'm working on Save/Load but it is slow as I don't have much free time to work on it right now

[crhy]

Well thanks for responding anyway! <3

Wow! It's been a year. How's everybody doing? Any low-hanging fruit to attack?

So I've included the community texture replacements from this thread in my fork: https://forums.civfanatics.com/threads/better-terrain-graphics-for-mge-from-eivinds-colonialism-scenario.667221/post-16815095

At this point I think we have most of the art to do a stand alone game without original assets. What assets are we still missing?

Great work everyone!
