Since it started here, I figured I might as well announce it here, too. After 5 years, I've been able to release my version version of the rewrite of Survive! which I first presented here in 2011. Since it no longer uses 3DGS but a custom written OpenGL engine, I can only do it here in Morbius. It was a project to learn OpenGL, and I succeded in that. It was a lot more work than I expected, not only the OpenGl part but also the game logic, GUI and online multiplayer code, but fun nevertheless. It runs on Windows XP to 10, Linux and the (abandoned) OUYA android console. I've started to open source the engine, but it's not quite up to date right now. Here is the blog post with download link. Would be great if you could see if it actually runs on other computers than mine.

Great port. I just played a round. It's as much fun as it was back then. Anybody up for a real multiplayer round?
Always learn from history, to be sure you make the same mistakes again...

Hey, i can't start the game in terms of "I changed my name in Options, then clicked Play, screen goes gray, then crash."
System is Win10 64 Bit, NVIDIA Optimus with Intel 4000 and GeForce 630M
Nice to hear you're still alive! I'll be there this evening, waiting to play a round or two if the game will be able to run.

We just played a round (and I made the new high score!) Some reports: - You can glitch through some boxes.
- There must be more weapons!
- The birds are evil.
- The turret blocks are awesome, but much to less
- We require more players!

I haven't done any testing on nvidia or Optimus. It's probably a Shader failing to compile. Had the same on intel, so much for glsl beeing a standard.
Yeah, when doing OpenGL work you pretty much have to test on nvidia and amd in tandem all the time to make sure everything works as intended - especially when developing on nvidia you can expect everything to go to hell if you don't constantly test on amd, but also the other way around. The problem is that the OpenGL specs are pretty ambigious in some places, and thus the actual implementations are nothing alike. NVIDIA tends to do the more intuitive thing in cases of ambiguity whereas AMD tries to formally derive the "correct" implementation from other parts of the spec which unfortunately mostly isn't the most intuitive thing to do.

After some playing time (~Hour) ERROR: flist add_at at an already taken location ERROR: flist add_at at an already taken location ERROR in Mix_PlayChannel in play3D: No free channels. ERROR in Mix_PlayChannel in play3D: No free channels.
Also: You don't get better weapons Also: Some non-despawning enemies and players. Also: Idiot russians that destroy gameplay by just taking the generator in Wave 20 and running into enemies...

Also: Idiot russians that destroy gameplay by just taking the generator in Wave 20 and running into enemies... Was it really so important to tell what nationality they were? I tested the single player version and it worked fine on my side, played for 3 waves only (had no more spare time to test it). My system: Win7 x64, AMD Athlon II X64 641 Quad-Core 2.80 GHz, 4 GB, AMD Radeon HD 6670 Best regards!

Was it really so important to tell what nationality they were? well, they joined the game, told us they were russians and then fucked shit up... so, maybe, yes it was... but no offense to russians in general
