Spring RTS Engine

T'was mentioned on TAUniverse

Found out about spring, by helping some body install a 3rd party ebuild for gentoo.
Couldnt believe my eyes when found out what game he/she was installing :)
( think peep went by the name generic )

Was here from the start, back in the days of Demo Recorder. Just browsing the SY site and noticed this entire new section.

Think I saw it here first:

Hah, i just remembered
I was googling for Total Annihilation 2, and i stumbled across a forum post here.
I was like omg 1337, got a mate to play it with me. Mate is long gone, but I remain :D

long gone to... WoW?

I've actually been around a lot longer than most people realize. I even made one of the spring logo entries back when they wanted to replace the sperm. Back before spring had a public version out and all. Then I disapeared for a bunch of semesters, like a year and a half, because school got bitch hard. I kept the project in the back of my mind until the day came when I had more time, IE this summer.

Of course I couldn't remember my old account info, and the forums appeared to have been cleaned out since then anyway, so I made a new identity.

EDIT: I should actually say, I was gone for a year because of school, then another 6 months or so because of WoW. Guild Wars was to MMORPG's as Nicoderm Patches are to smoking for me.

I´m that friend >=D

I was looking around at mods for OTA and found the old Yankspankers, which had a nifty moving Demo of how TA would look i 3D. And then the long wait begun. I remember being sad when Spring wasn´t our for spring =(

Swiftspear...

SWTA screenies made using the engine long before public release.

AA forums. yay for OTA AA.

Searched for TA stuff...

*skimmerdee skim skim*

Well, I have been aware of Spring for a long time now but finally Spring has matured into a playable version and has been available since 2005.

But I played a crude version of Spring back in 2001/2002 I believe...

I accidentally stumbled upon this even though back in the good 'ol days i was a real TA fanatic myself.

A friend of mine had read somewhere that theres a project to create a new engine for TA and when he told me that, it struck me like 10gigazaps! I was back in the TA-zone

I knew about it before the public release, probably from some TA site.

Actually, I think it was SWTA on TAP, coz there was a news post about it working in Spring...

I read about it on a forum, then after playing it once forgot about it for a few months, just sitting on my hard drive.

Then when I was looking for a game to play when I was getting tired of starcraft me and a friend started playing 1v1 over and over untill we were good enough to start playing properly.


And so LolSquad was formed.

Interestingly, neither me nor steven (LolSquad) have played OTA

Zoombie.

That's disturbing, because I may know you then.

I'll give you a hint: Begins with a G ends with a orge.

That hint is rather high class.
