Getting Started
Please consult docs/contributing.md for more information! it contains information on how to compile the project on both Windows AND Linux

Picking up where Open V2 left off
The goal of Project Alice (named after Alice Roosevelt Longworth) is essentially to create a new version of open v2 – my earlier project to create a Victoria 2 clone – and then to finish a working, feature complete, version of the game. This means that, at least initially, there will be few departures from doing things as Victoria 2 did them, simply to keep the project focused and on track. Once a 1.0 is complete, we can then use it as a playground for new experiments. As of July 2023, I have basically caught up to where open v2 was, minus some deficiencies in the ui.

I hope to find a few people to form an art team that can recreate the assets that Victoria 2 uses to give this project its own distinctive visual identity. I know that is a big ask, but on the other hand, there will be no 3d modeling required. We already have access to a set of new flags that we can use, courtesy of the SOE project.

In comparison to other projects
In comparison to SOE (Symphony of Empires) this project is a more direct Victoria 2 clone, while SOE is its own game. Nevertheless, I tend to think of it as a sister project. We do have some people here involved with both (I myself make the occasional suggestion there), and if you see something that we make that they could use, I am sure that they would appreciate the contribution. Likewise, we will be using at least some of their work.

With regards to the OpenVic2 project, although it "marketed" as a Victoria 2 "clone," that isn't what they are working towards creating. Instead, they intend to provide an entirely new set of assets, including events, decisions, etc., which will make their project more of a Victoria 2-ish game. It is also run with a very different managerial style. If you are interested in both Project Alice and OpenVic2, I suggest spending time with both teams or even joining both projects.

A thread for discussion of eroge, pornographic games, spicy visual novels, and such. Do you have any favourites? Are you looking for recommendations? Do you enjoy short and empty bodies? Post it here!

>Noooo they can‘t make the game anymore because so many years have gone by they will never live up to the expectations! Noooo
Really? Are people that braindead that they believe the more years go by the gooder a game has to be? Honestly who gives a shit, I just want to see the story continue.

God almighty comes before you and asks for help creating the perfect MMORPG. Your idea will magically sustain an active and loyal playerbase, no matter how niche or unconventional it may be. What does this game look like?

ITT we talk about indie games which could pierce through your skin and fill you with emotions, feeling being pulled uncontrollably to gaze in awe for more and more throughout the story!

Those pieces of arts, aka games I consumed, had me loads of pressure of awe spreading through my chest—
It is amazing how an art piece could bring the one to such intense heights… it was almost unbelievable how overwhelmed one gets!! 0_o

So, post about indie games here you played recently and so on!!

do i suck at chess & do u want to clap my bussy at chess????????!??!?

Rest in Peace !!

Tomonobu Itagaki, the legendary creator of the Dead or Alive series, and creative mind behind the 2004 version of Ninja Gaiden, has passed away at the age of 58.

The news was shared on his personal Facebook page, and independently confirmed by members of the development community. The cause of death was not given.

The elegaic Facebook post was written by Itagaki to be shared in the event of his death. An English translation was later shared by his compatriot and rival Katsuhiro Harada:

Words I Leave Behind

The flame of my life is finally about to go out.

If this message has been posted, it means that the time has come. I am no longer in this world.

(This final post has been entrusted to someone dear to me.)

Does anyone know what game this is? I have no more information than this screenshot, sorry. Apparently it's like a modern Far Cry 2, don't know anything else about it.

Anyone here play Shadow Empire? It sounds like the deep kind of autism simulator you guys might be into. They say you need read the 400 page manual before you're ready to play.

>Shadow Empire is a deeply complex, turn-based 4X wargame set in a post-apocalyptic sci-fi universe, uniquely blending grand strategy with highly detailed simulation and role-playing elements. Its standout features include a sophisticated procedurally generated planet system that dictates climate, resources, and lifeforms, ensuring massive replayability, and a central, rigorous logistics system that makes supply chains—for both military and civilian needs—critical to success, distinguishing it from most other 4X games. Furthermore, the game incorporates an intricate Leader and Political Management system, where players must recruit, manage, and deal with staff (who have their own skills and agendas) and their nation's internal factions, often through a Stratagem card system, adding a strong human and organizational dynamics layer to the conquest on the detailed, hex-based map.

I was kind of intending this thread to be a storehouse of replies for

<hurrr but who would work without profit motive???? you ever thought about that commie?

where fans have for one reason or another put in a great deal of time and effort to maintain or recreate digital experiences.

For example, I stumbled on some videos for a fan recreation of TIE fighter which, from the clips of it, looks really neat. It seems like video related is a mod based off of another mod for the million year old X-wing Alliance engine. I need to look further into it and see if it's built off of the original game, or its own standalone deal meant to mimic it.

Then there's also Tamriel Reborn that seems like it isn't just a remake of the original, but actually expands on the original Morrowind, I guess to add back in all of the content that had to be cut. Apparently they've been going at it since 2001.

Then there's DOOM, which has just had an insane amount of work done on it and with it since it was released. It's actually pretty amazing to see what people are capable of doing with it after so long.
