We need a lot more maps, models and textures. As mentioned in the previous section we are really lacking artist power. I really hope we will get some fresh blood into the team - maybe after we released the next coming version 2.4. Currently we are only having a few developers/contributors that are giving quite often. Most of them are coders, only a few were artists. Mattn: Yes, the community is quite large, and as shown in the codeswarm video we also had quite a lot of contributors.

More maps and some more code developers are welcome too. Translations and maps are the most common, though what we badly need are models (both static and animated). Geever: The contributing part of the community is not as big as we would like it to be. Mind telling us what type of contributions are most common? How often do they give? Screenshot of the new tactical battle UI currently in developmentĬonsidering its roots, I presume there's already quite a large community involved in the project, right? It is a great game in its current state, and will only get better with every release!

However I do have so many plans on how to extend and improve it that I couldn't possibly tell them all here. I don't know much about the very beginning since I was introduced to UFO:AI during its second lifespan. Well we created something like that, only better. Geever: I bet you all know what is 'UFO:Alien Invasion' can hardly find a gamer who doesn't know of the classic UFO/X-COM series. ** Battlescape - view of the map where the tactical battle takes place ( link ) But if you meant the single player campaign, we need more contributors on the art side to finish all our goals. Personally I think that an open source game will never be completed - there are always guys that love to tweak and extend things. The 'completion' itself is a hard to measure value. New features on the Battlescape should also get implemented. The single player campaign will, of course, also be continued - but our Battlescape** experience did not get much love recently - this should get changed.

The future plans are quite simple: Make the game complete ) There are several ideas out there, for the next version my personal plan is to push the multiplayer gameplay with the help from contributor H-Hour.

* code_swarm is a visualisation software that shows peoples' commitment to a project ( link ) There is a little codeswarm* video on YouTube that might give an impression on how many contributors we had. Without the help of a lot of contributors we wouldn't be where we are today. Since then we got working on the 'completion' of the game - and in my opinion we have come a long way. The project was halted a few months until I was allowed to (re-)release it on Sourceforge in January 2006. This was the time I was already working as a freelancer for the team.

They lost the motivation somewhere along the way in 2005.

Mattn: I think there are two starts of UFO:AI - one was with the original team of Herby, Rasta, SparxX and later Sacrusha. How did it all begin, where's it at now, what are the future plans? Maybe a guess on its 'completion'? Great, now that we know each other how about telling us a short summery about UFO:AI? I'm currently living near Hamburg in Germany and work as a Java software developer. Later this turned into something else entirely. decided to continue contributing while simultaneously refreshing my knowledge of traditional programming languages before I start my university studies. I played a bit, found some bugs, submitted patches, and. I joined the project back in 2008, around the same time version 2.2.1 was released - been looking for a good Linux game and found this one. I mostly code the campaign-part of UFO:AI and some other client side stuff. I'm Tamás Fehérvári, a 28 year old programmer from Budapest, Hungary. Please do introduce yourselves to our readers we enjoy meeting new people!
