Unknown Horizons - the open source Anno
« on: November 23, 2011, 01:05:18 pm »
Spotted over at rps
Spoiler (click to show/hide)
(well, actually, i have known about this game for a while now).
Unknown Horizons started as an Anno open source clone but is now evolving and expanding on its own ideas.

It is very polished for an open source game and i really hope they will add new and interesting concepts to the game.

Ooh, that looks pretty.  I'm starting to think I'm a sucker for games with green grass.   ???

Funny how you realize you actually love green grass after you see a game that actually has green grass XD

That said this looks very pretty indeed, intrested in seeing where it goes.

Is it pretty complete?   I've never played any of the Anno series so I don't really know what to expect.

HMR stands for Hazardous Materials Requisition, not Horrible Massive Ruination, though I can understand how one could get confused.

Damnit. That was one of the game ideas I had, but never made the time to do anything about.

I remember seeing this before, but it was much less playable then.
Woo for Anno-like games.
