Title: Free Game Alliance goes live!!
Post by: Talad on October 09, 2011, 02:35:05 pm
We are proud to announce the creation of the Free Game Alliance (http://www.freegamealliance.com), an initiative started to promote collaborative game development and open source. The initiative has been created and sponsored by Atomic Blue ( us! :) ). As a member of the alliance we want to support all games selected and so we encourage you to download and play them all. If you want to give feedback on the FGA initiative, please use this blog (http://freegamealliance.blogspot.com/) or this forum thread , if you want to provide feedback on one game only, go to their website!

What is... the point of this? What is the purpose of this "Alliance"?

If PlaneShift joins, will mentioning "competing projects" in forums and chatrooms be allowed again? ;)

Oh. Only one game per category. I see... Hooray. Great alliance.

I guess you meant some other game not PS :) Anyway yes, one game per genre only, that's the idea behind it. We may expand the genre in the future maybe, like one scifi mmorpg and one fantasy mmorpg. But for now those games are enough. We need them all completed and in great shape!!

Sounds great! Hopefully it'll promote the usage of OpenGL as well. I didn't get the part of limiting one game per genre though. Shouldn't you ask any interested parties to join?
