RISE OF THE SOURCE CODE
9:45 AM [ Discuss this news story ]

And you thought it would never happen...
Today we're doing something I bet most everyone out there thought we'd
never do.   No, it's not Duke Nukem Forever, but something some folks on
the net have been asking us to do for ages.  Today we're releasing the
source code to Rise of the Triad!   The source is being released under the
GPL license, and we still retain copyright on the game (plus we still sell
Rise of the Triad), but folks have been asking for something like this for
a long time, and here it is.

We are dedicating the release of the Rise of the Triad Source code to our
late friend and Rise of the Triad programmer William Scarboro, who died
tragically back in early August of 2002.  I'm sure if he were still with
us, William would be happy to see this out there, and see what folks might
do with the code.

In the archive are some thoughts about Rise of the Triad by Tom Hall (the
game's producer), and Scott Miller (Apogee/3DR CEO/Founder).  You can check
out the readme here before downloading the entire archive.  In addition to
this file, we have several other ROTT related downlods available - check
out our ROTT page for the full list.

The folks reading this who aren't programmers probably won't have any
interest in this, but those who are programmers might want to check it out.
 You can download the file (which is roughly 4Mb zipped) here:

Enjoy!  Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to everyone.  See ya next year!

UPDATE: Just realized that 8 years ago tomorrow (the 21st) was the release
of v1.0 sharware of Rise of the Triad online.   This source release was
released almost 8 years to the day that we originally released the game in
the first place!  :)



This file was just hatched into the Apogee FDN.
