| {{ricosrc|4}} is a third party mod whose aim is to port Valve's [[Ricochet]] over to the Source engine ({{src06|4.1}}), and hopefully in the future further expand upon the games concept and gain more interest for the Ricochet game as a whole. | | {{multipage}} |
| | |
| == Totally third party ==
| |
| Ricochet: Source is a third party modification, and is not developed by it's original creator [http://www.valvesoftware.com Valve Software]. The mod will be free but will require [[Half-Life 2]] and [[Source SDK Base]] to play. Ricochet: Source is developed on a licensed version of the [[Half-Life 2: Deathmatch]] source code ([[Licensing Valve Technology|Not fully licensed]]).
| |
| | |
| == Closed Alpha & upcoming release ==
| |
| An alpha is currently running in the [http://forums.steampowered.com/forums/forumdisplay.php?f=108 SupportWiki Translation Forums].
| |
| This is private as only members of the SupportWiki team can download the mod. Members of the translation team have generally enjoyed the modification. Later in July (this month) the website will be reopened after a long downtime. The website opening will coincide with the mod's initial release.
| |
| | |
| == Project status ==
| |
| The mod is in a healthy state. There are some bugs but most of the Ricochet functionality is coded in.
| |
| | |
| | |
