    Erm... "total conversion"? It better not be labelled as such in the magazine....
  • RubberEagleRubberEagle What's a rubber eagle used for, anyway?
    Well, it DOES convert your PC into a starfury cockpit...
  • DunedainDunedain Ranger
    The term total conversion is not used in the article, I don't think. I used it because it's accurate.

    They list it under the section on "free to own" as freeware.

    They also commented that it has some of the most professional looking graphics they have ever seen
    in any freeware game. :)

    Well, not quite; IFH is not a total conversion. IFH was built completely from scratch rather than using some other game's engine.

    You may be thinking of HomePlanet, which, in an interesting twist, [i]uses IFH's engine[/i]... not the other way around.

    I think i need to get IFH again, when i first tried it it ran like crap, or, more accurately my crappy machine ran it like crap, but i've upgraded since then, must try again..

    Great!
    Can some of you guys make a good scan and upload it somewhere? Thanks in advance! :)
  • PSI-KILLERPSI-KILLER Needs help
    That is a good game , too bad their were not too many levels. But I am not complaining.
  • Sergei SSergei S Earthforce Officer
    It would be really great if any of you guys could do a scan for us to upload it on the web-site. And thanks a lot for the news! ;)
  • DunedainDunedain Ranger
    I thought "I've Found Her" was a mod based on the Homeworld engine or something.

    You mean they made a 3D graphics engine, physics engine, etc. from the ground up
    to make IFH? If so, that's rather impressive. :) Is the game considered complete, or are there
    more patches on the way?
  • croxiscroxis I am the walrus
    IFH is its own engine, the homeplanet game is based on the IFH engine. THis is also the predemo game, what you download now is not the actuall game.

    Not exactly, what you download is the first complete campaign (prequel), and not a demo. We're releasing update very soon, and after that, hopefully, next campaign.
  • croxiscroxis I am the walrus

    Babylon 5 has some of the most professional graphics we’ve seen in a freeware game; it looks great, and it plays smoothly. Because they employ real-world physics, the ship controls are easy to learn. The story line is detailed without being tedious, and the enemy ship A.I. is decent enough to present an actual challenge. Even for those who don’t care about the series, this title has a lot to offer.
