Well, Star Ruler 2 was literally just released a few days ago as an open source project if you're open to Space-themed 4X/RTS hybrids that play a little like a boardgame (e.g. it has card-based stuff and timer features like WF's card-and-time-based elements).

I logged in to Destiny 2 and it seems abandoned. Are there any good co-op games where you can just drop in and kill poo poo with peeps (preferably matchmaking)?

I can't say it's great, but Raiders of the Broken Planet at least has the price tag of free* and is matchmaking based with short missions. The way it handles ammo is also kind of interesting.

*Pretty limited base campaign, the others are :10bux:

. It is apparently going fully free to play sooner or later.

Bad news for the thread: I now have not only played, but have beaten, Tattoo Assassins. I would say how did that game ever get released, but uh... cancelled for �quality concerns� was exactly the fate it deserved, god drat.

However! It has this fantastically dumb looking shark in the background of the one level and I love him. :allears:

Look at that little doofus. :3:

Just a few days ago Star Ruler 2 and it's engine were made open source (the engine/data is MIT license, the assets are CC-BY-NC 2.0) (This link will take you right to it)

That means if you'd like to play SR2 for free all you'd need do is just go grab a copy of Visual Studio and compile it; instructions are included on the Github page and a link to the Rising Stars Discord'll put you in spitting distance of folk who can help you out should things go tits-up (for the most part it should compile and run just fine though; this is a polished, high-performance, modern and well-structured engine we're putting out -- not a barely-working mess, promise)

Star Ruler 2 is a Space 4X/RTS that's running on an engine we hand-built which is both super-flexible and super-fast. If you're a game developer who's been waiting for somebody to put out an open source engine which can do the mass-scale sorts of battle you could previously only find in proprietary closed-source engines like Total War this might be your golden ticket. Heck, if you just want to sink your teeth into a super-fast engine for your next game, you might want to consider using StarFlare. If you just want to steal our weapons-targeting code, multiplayer architecture, real-time shader recompiler, or galaxy generation from-image stuff, go nuts. If your interest is finding all the commented portions of code where we cuss and hurl keyboards at walls, beg forgiveness for the sins of unoptimized or ill-performant code, and so forth, feel free.

The engine itself is mostly coded in C++ and the script files for SR2 (and the included script-compiler which JITs scripts into as close to native-code-speed as we could push it and is also, itself, open source) are AngelScript (it uses AngelCode, which is C++ like and fast).

Anyway, just wanted to bring it up in case y'all hadn't heard already. Thanks to everyone who participated in the SA Star Ruler 2 thread, by the way - even though our studio didn't last, it was still pretty drat fun hanging out with y'all about SR1 and SR2 and really trying to build a game which broke new ground. If y'all want to bombard me with questions about whatever and goonsays as well feel free (I've probably earned a few with this loving huge block of text). I'll also be posting this in Ask Game Developers so don't worry that you're having a stroke if you head over there and see this post more or less again (thanks to VideoGames for allowing this cross-post)

I just wanna say I really liked these games, they have a pretty unique perspective on 4x games that I always found fascinating, particularly the way the scaling was implemented, it was a really elegant approach to something most games end up getting mired in weird edge mechanics. the resource web stuff in SR2 was very novel also. sorry it didn't work out for you

The fact that titanfall 2 has withered while other, worse fps games have flourished is criminal imo.

it's funny that while the n64 was technically the smoother system for 3d, there are more 3d ps1 games that found art styles that would age well and the ps1's rougher 3d has kind of become its own aesthetic

Higher resolution textures on the PS1 helped immensely though. Only until devs like Iguana and Rare found ways to cheese texture loading did they start to look decent on the N64, but they still couldn't really keep up.
