I'm just posting a redirect here so I know everyone sees this:

It can be kind of easy to miss because I've stickied it.
Anyway I've had kind of an idea like this stuck in my head for a long time. It's just now all coming together. I'd like to see a game to rival the corporate games, or even make a mockery of them, born of everyone who wants to working on it opensource style just like a lot of software is developed nowadays. I don't see any reason why games should be any different. And I think SOM is the platform for the job, and I think KF is game with the pedigree.
I still think KF2 is the best game of all time. And the quintessential 3D adventure game. So its only right for the first big opensource game to be KF and herald a new era of 3D video games in the same way I think KF heralded the arrival of 3D video games.
I am going for a Shadow of the Colossus slayer but with a more conventional experience so that it doesn't feel like a flagrant exercise in minimalism.
PS: also I am working on new controls for SOM that I think will be the dominant controls for SOM games in the KF vein going forward. They've turned out really well and much better than expected, including: dodging/rushing, jumping, ducking, climbing, hanging, fast turning, shields, all without any new buttons, so pay attention if you are into in that sort of thing.
PPS: Don't be surprised if I don't reply to this thread. I'd lock if I could. Feel free to do so. I honestly don't have any reason to navigate back to here, but I will leave the tab open for a day or two.
