When I think of flash games, I have a few in mind like Machinarium that due to their dependence on Flash will most likely die with it.

Gnash gave us reason to hope but when large companies gave up on Flash, so did GNU. Then Lightspark looked to be the great hope but 12 years on now and it still can't play most basic games.
Last year, members of Newgrounds spoke of creating a flash player for games and I honestly didn't expect anything to come of it because many have tried and gotten nowhere but, their progress is going surprisingly fast.

Check it out. They plan on full support of flash games by next year. We shall see.

Well squeeze me grapes. I was digging around for new games for the new year and came across this:
https://github.com/Interrupt/systemshock

Shockolate is a cross platform source port of System Shock, using SDL2. This runs well on OSX, Linux, and Windows right now, with some missing features that need reviving due to not being included in the source code that was released.

Wow, I actually didn't think it would come that quick. The dev is working hard and getting shit done.

Just me posting, only me gonna care.

It's survived the migration but the thumbs have gone. At least the banners made it.

/lv, going strong since 2014

I'm doing a little research into this. It's based upon EDuke32, which is GPL, so I'm looking for source because apparently the engine has been 'tweaked' for the release. Still not sure if those tweaks are now standard EDuke32 or if it has its' own release tree.

In other news, it's likely to push better networking support for eduke32 which is a little unstable atm.

The lead role is a woman, which is kind of expected in 'current year.' However, it's a pretty solid game, not just a sloppy agenda push. I think we can also expect a 'bikini' patch of some kind in the future, like in the tomb raider days.

So STK finally went 1.0 and has brought some really solid multiplayer!

The networking implementation has been a very big and ambitious task, which took even longer than the port from PLIB (anyone remember that?) to Irrlicht in 2010, which took around 14 months. But it is done: more than 20,000 lines of network related code and 18 months later, we have reached our goal, and online play is a reality. Across the whole game, more than 2500 commits and 300 resolved issues separate the 1.0 release from 0.9.3.

"Spearmint, an enhanced version of the open-source ioquake3 engine in turn derived from the id Tech 3 source code, will see the big "1.0" milestone in October. But that will also coincide with the developer and ioquake3 maintainer ceasing work on this engine now with an eighteen year lineage.

Next month will be 10 years that developer Zack Middleton has been involved with the open-source Quake 3 engine scene and one of the maintainers of ioquake3. Over this time he's worked on the Spearmint engine along with various other engine mods and games. He was also the developer behind the ioquake3-powered turtle fighting game."

I'm most excited by the improved AI.

The new SDK hope to create a near mirror of the original SDK to allow modders to port mods to the dhewm3 engine much more easily. This is a vast improvement to the original method of porting mods on a static dhewm3 source. As a result a new mod has already been ported:

I was playing STK yesterday with all the settings turned up, I have an MSI r9 270x, and I noticed how fucking hot the air coming from my PC was, I can't believe STK is pushing my GPU this hard. 91c! Even Doom3 doesn't push it that hard! Might be the most demanding game I have now.
