I hope this doesn't die off like a lot of the other projects like this. It looks pretty good.

I sent him an email when I found about it, saying thanks for making it, and asking about development, and I just got a reply...

Hey Craig
Sorry I took so long to respond. I'm glad you guys like it, I appreciate all the kudos. I'm not sure what the future of the project is though - the source code is on a laptop that died about a month ago. I'm going to see what I can do about recovering some things from the hard drive, but I also just moved, and the HD is with some of my things at my old place still (on the opposite coast). And beyond that, I made the whole game at a time when I had a whole lot more free time than I do now

..but I'll let you know. Step 1 is recovering the source code.

Thanks again, and pass on the thanks to everyone on the forum too!

-Tom

nice work Craig (why is there an extra a in your username? lol)

if only we got the source for RA2 we could have built the 2 games together :P (well somebody very talented could have built the games together haha)

shame to hear about the fate of this games source code too, seems to be a happening thing with cool robot games and source codes lol

A lot of people I know stretch the 'a' when they say my name. and it's much more emphatic :P

One quick stupid question: How the

do I install it? My comp doesn't recognise .ASDF files.

Naryar · « **Reply #27 on:** October 30, 2009, 10:13:13 AM »

Cant make it work even after renaming.

cephalopod · « **Reply #28 on:** October 30, 2009, 10:24:53 AM »

Okay, that was a short match...

That link doesn't work

Condor33 · « **Reply #30 on:** October 31, 2009, 09:32:15 AM »

The site went down.

I think it's a fun game, but needs some sound!

Trovaner · « **Reply #31 on:** October 31, 2009, 04:58:39 PM »

I like the looks of it but I get too much lag (in main menu and in game) on this computer no matter what I do...

Make sure you have your graphics card driver up to date. Go to nvidia or ATI/AMD and search for your card.

Stagfish · « **Reply #34 on:** December 03, 2009, 11:27:05 AM »

Stagfish · « **Reply #35 on:** December 03, 2009, 12:05:39 PM »

I GOT IT TO WORK :D
whats the controls for nightmare?
i know what the disc is and one of the wheels

cephalopod · « **Reply #36 on:** December 03, 2009, 12:43:58 PM »

the controls for every bot are the same.
W - forward with left wheel
S - back with left wheel
E - forward with right wheel
D - back with right wheel
Space - Weapon

So basically, holding W and E makes you go forward :P

G.K. · « **Reply #37 on:** December 03, 2009, 01:24:52 PM »

And Left Shift is second weapon. (Only frenZy uses it)
