The last commits was on October 25, 2011.

I really hope that this project will not become dead......

Someone can fork it from github and push it further.

BTW, does anybody know if Github removes project without activity?

[Sethis]

Not dead. Just stalled due to RL stuff ;] Development has been partially resumed, hopefully I won't get flooded with tasks at work, so I can commit some more free time to the project.

[michal]

Great to hear that

[hsbckb]

Nice to hear that this project is back in action.

[Zharik1999]

Great that work is moving on. But can anyone explaine to me how to make it work? I need to download the archive from this site https://hallor.github.com/ufo/ , extract it to my CE version of X-Com Apocalypse and run it as usual or what?

[michal]

Archive contains source code, so you would need to compile it first. Anyway, i'm afraid you wouldn't see much. For now, they probably still working on engine basics.

[Zharik1999]

Okey, thank you. I hope they will end engine basics and make this port more accessible for people like me who cannot compile code themselfs one day

Please please please keep going with this project!!!
Apocalypse was never fully recognised as one of the best
squad-level strats ever made (IMO of course )

I swear this project could be absolutely outstanding ....

[michal]

Sethis, what about posting some screenshots from recently added battlescape rendering?

Slightly Off topic but BombBloke is working on a PCK extractor for Apocalypse, check it out

Yeah, I saw that recently too.  Bomb-bloke is such a hero.  I wanted to do some
graphical tweaking of the apocalypse sprites recently (like create a power-sword
animation) but was stymied by the lack of fully functional PCK extractor.

So yeah - Sethis?  Whats this about a functional battlescape renderer!?!?! 

[michal]

Well, looks like this is another dead x-com project. Pity

[Mr. Quiet]

Damn, I quickly opened this thread thinking we got an update
