Everyone loves mining games. Everyone loves shooting things. Now you can do both, [B]in space![/B]
[b]But wait, why don't I just play Miner Wars?[/b]
It's not out yet you turkey.
[B]Information[/B] (from the game's website)
[quote]Celestial Impact is a free multiplayer-only game available for PC
Celestial Impact is a team based multiplayer first person shooter (FPS) taking place on various asteroids floating in space. But Celestial Impact is not your average team based multiplayer FPS. What makes this FPS really special is that [B]the landscape is fully deformable in all directions[/B], each impact on the landscape affecting it differently depending on the weapon used. But it is not limited to destruction; the players also have the ability to add terrain to the landscape in the middle of combat using a special tool called Dirtgun. With the Dirtgun, players can add or remove terrain during combat as they see fit, simply by aiming and firing the dirtgun. Depending on the chosen action, this will either add or remove a chunk of dirt from the landscape. So as the teams are battling, the landscape receives vast changes opening up for various tactical approaches each team can use.[/quote][URL]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OIGLHC776zk[/URL]

Why does the "YouTUBE video" link back to Facepunch? :raise:
Played it, a lot of fun for a while because of the centralized gravity. A lot of frenchies.

Fixed.
Oh shit, I remember this game now.
I used to play this game alot, making a giant ball that takes up the level and then drilling out the center or cutting it in half is awesome. I think there was a FP server a while ago, and we built a shell around the core, and constructed bridges and 'houses' on the inner shell.
Played it alot back in the day but after a while no one else was so I quit. I wish it was semi regularly updated.
No servers, don't bother with it.

Here's a video I made of it a few months back.
I'll try this out.
This looks fun to mess about with, with friends.
Well if somebody on FP would host a server there would be a server and then people would play and there would be a need for a server.

We played together I think. I made the oldest thread.
I remember how you could set the materials to be like various candies.
I'm on a server right now. Join one and people will join after you. It's not hard. Effort.
This looks awesome!
I will give it a shot.
haha that was fun
I get an OpenGL error when I try to start it up, anyone know why?
Just had a good couple of games with Notlolle or something and somebody who didn't change their name. In the last round we cleared out the entire central sphere.
So, who's going to be hosting the servers?
Also, CI REQUIRES OpenGL 2.0 compatibility on your GPU. That generally doesn't come with cards that are dated behind the 6600GT.
Cheese that was me you cleared the sphere with :D
Oh, that fucking sucks. Thanks for the answer though.
So this is like Red Faction gone freeware, multiplayer-only, and not quite as high budget but nonetheless awesome? I might try it later.

And with gravity that pulls you to the center of the asteroid.

He edited it after he posted it once.
oh and MUST PLAY THIS UNTIL MINER WARS COMES OUT!
BECAUSE CELESTIAL IMPACT IS FUCKING AWESOME TOO!
Plus, this is from the point of view of a humanoid and miner wars is ship based.
If anyone wants to start a server, PM me and I'll add the server info to the OP
I can imagine an online match just turning into a penis-sculpting competition.
YAY! celestial impact. one of the most fun free online shooters
Digging a tunnel is too damn hard.
the digger doesn't quite dig enough and it's pretty hard to get anywhere.

You can change the size of the dirt gun's radius in the sandbox mode, I think it's the mousewheel or ctrl/shift+mousewheel.
