The Linux Struggle

Nov 20, 1999 7:20pm CST tags: Activision, id Software, Unreal Tournament
So it looks like although both Epic and id Software had plans of releasing simultaneous boxed versions of their respective products on both the Win32 and Linux platforms, plans have fallen through (or faltered a bit) on both ends. Each of them being oppressed by their publishers. (Activision and GT) Carmack mentioned in his .plan that Linux boxed Q3 will be released a little bit after Win32, and Brandon Reinhart has word on the Linux Unreal Tournament situation as well. Brandon tops it off with this statement:

Understand this again: This was not my decision. I am not an operating system advocate. I am more or less indifferent to the OS debate. I just want to program. Originally this update was much more aggressive. I'll simply say this: I feel that the Linux community is intensely detached and unrealistic about how it approaches games developers.

No Messiah Yet, Here's UT

Nov 19, 1999 7:42pm CST tags: Unreal Tournament
As the evening winds down not much seems to be happening. Havent heard a peep out of the Shiny guys about the Messiah demo, hoping for a release but I'm also hoping to win the lottery tonight as well. A couple of updates to the Unreal Tech page and UnrealTournament.com might be of interest. Steve Polge details the conversions of Unreal maps to UT, and the GT website has word that UT will in fact be showing up on shelves next monday, and we can expect UT to be hitting the European shores around December 3rd. Oh yeah, you also might want to check out the post by Tim Sweeney on /. talking about Linux UT. Lastly, here is an interview with Shane Caudle of Epic who also worked on UT.

The UT Bots

Nov 17, 1999 6:27am CST tags: Unreal Tournament
The Unreal Technology page has a huge document posted by Steven Polge of Epic games detailing the use and setup involved in using the bots in Unreal Tournament. With the game showing up on shelves as early as this Friday it's probably worth a look. Steven details the use of way-points that you must manually place throughout your level so that the bots may know where stuff is to play any level that you create. As opposed to the bots in Q3Arena which can play any level without any additional help from the level designer. I havent really decided which bots I like better for sure, since UT and Q3A vary so much in gameplay. (Well, as much as Deathmatch games can..)

Unreal Tournament Gold

Nov 15, 1999 12:40pm CST tags: Unreal Tournament
Yes, the other deathmatch game ;) Blues News is reporting that Unreal Tournament has gone gold, and should be appearing on store shelves on Friday already. Europe should be at least another week (and being European, GT is usually pretty speedy in releasing their games over here, so it's likely).
