DS homebrew announcements > MechCommander 2

I never played it, so I don't know if there's good stuff in there, but Microsoft released the source to MechCommander 2 if anybody is interested. It looks like it includes all the art assets if anybody was working on a mech game or RTS.

MechCommander 2

What the hell has this got to do with the DS?

Erm?

Nothing?

Porting MC2 to the DS is not an option...

Also, given that the assets are designed for a PC game running on PC 3D HW they're probably not appropriate for use on the DS anyway...

The screenshot I looked at seemed low polygon enough to have useful DS art in it, but like I said I've certainly never played it.

Thanks for your valuable feedback though.

Microsoft Released
...SOURCE CODE?!

Two surprises at once -- you almost gave me a heart attack!

Thanks much; this looks pretty nice to learn off of. It's not that old, either :)
It is always good to see how the professionals make these games, and it's not often that I get to look at RTSs. This will be quite handy, since I'm working on a TBS (no, not DS; sorry if I let anyone's hopes up for half a second) at this very moment!

Would be nice to see if there was any source code for mech commander 1, it was better and theres more chance of it be ported

#109137 - OOPMan - Wed Nov 15, 2006 12:41 pm

Just so you all know, the source and assets for this were released about 2 years ago, so this is not new news...

Secondly, I have played MC2 (Still have a copy lying about somewhere) and I can most assuredly tell you that it would never ever be able to run on the DS...

I don't think the source for that was ever released. Wasn't it made by a different crew? I'm not sure...
