The game is a legend for the possibilities it offers for emergent gameplay. Probably one day we can have its code open sourced, like its creators once wanted to, and take a peek behind its complex systems.
- airza 4y agoIt must be a rat’s nest at this point. As much as i love the game, from the outside I am guessing that an autodidact c++ application that has been releasing more and more slowly over a decade is drowning in technical debt.
