Hmm, are you on an up-to-date version? Could also be a timezone thing, though, like maybe there’s an active community in India, which plays when you’re asleep or whatever.
Maybe the future of this is platforms like S@box letting ppl make their own mp games and having them be accessible from one location. Probably not realistic, but would be sick if all these fossgames had one portal/serverbrowser to access them from. I think there is something for doom that is essentially that?
Zandronum was the Doom server browser of choice, at least 4 years ago or so. Even will auto download the mods the server is running (if the admin configured things right).
to be fair, that is the whole point of the game, its competitive, i miss lightbikes on iphone, was a fun ripoff with new mechanics like 3d maps (multiple rotated planes lol), jumping, and boosting, added a lot to the game

For games where there is a list of servers, it would be cool to have a central software like gamespy to let players know where the other players are.
Anybody playing tremulous?
is that unvanquished? Played a game of that, couldnt find one again
Some people still play Armagetron but I don’t like play with them because they’re too pro.
armagettron was very fun over lan on school pcs back in highschool, i put it in the school directory so everyone could copy it over whenever lol
Heh, nice! :)
Yeah, it’s really fun with friends. Not so fun with precision-happy maniacs. :)

Of course it is, and I’m pretty good at it. It’s just those people are on another level. :D
I know red eclipse is under active development, but I think its parent project Sauerbraten might have more players. I haven’t checked in years though.
Haven’t checked in on it in a while, but I’d be surprised, if Teeworlds wasn’t still going strong.
dont think anyone does dm annoyingly, idr care for the coop race thing
Panel Attack has tournaments on a regular basis.
Space Station 14 is one of my favourite games, but it can be very confusing to start playing and definetly isn’t for everyone.
