The Zod Engine is an open source remake of the 1996 game Z by the
|
|
|
|
|
Bitmap Brothers written in C++ using the SDL library for
|
|
|
|
|
Linux / Windows / Etc.
|

|
The Story and Gameplay...
|
|
|
|
|
In Z you were a commander under General Zod in his attempt to
|
|
|
|
|
conquer the universe. Your team, Brad and Allan, went from site to
|
|
|
|
|
site and planet to planet pushing back the Blue forces while getting
|
|
|
|
|
bitched at by General Zod. In the Zod Engine the doors are opened
|
|
|
|
|
up so that you can play all the levels and make new levels the way
|
|
|
|
|
you've always wanted to. The Zod Engine is more then just a remake
|
|
|
|
|
of Z however, it is a fully commercially supported online game that
|
|
|
|
|
is perpetually running at all times. Players can connect and
|
|
|
|
|
disconnect at any time.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The Zod Engine is a MMORTS / RTS style game. In the game you command
|
|
|
|
|
an army of robots and vehicles to take over neighboring territories
|
|
|
|
|
in the ultimate goal of destroying all of your enemies. Unlike
|
|
|
|
|
traditional RTS (Real Time Strategy) games the Zod Engine does not
|
|
|
|
|
create units from collected resources but instead construction is
|
|
|
|
|
constant from preset factories scattered throughout the level.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
What is New?
|
|
|
|
|
The Zod Engine is a multiplayer oriented game where as Z is a single
|
|
|
|
|
player oriented game. Here you will be able to for the first time do
|
|
|
|
|
things such as play games against multiple bot players, or play the
|
|
|
|
|
original levels with friends helping you on the same team. The Zod
|
|
|
|
|
Engine is cross platform for Linux and Windows and can support any
|
|
|
|
|
resolution. There are no limits on map size or players per game.
|
|
|
|
|
The Zod Engine is also in a state of continual development so new
|
|
|
|
|
features may come at any time with idea's from the players.
