Mojotron: Robot Wars
Saturday, August 6, 2022 - 08:24
Mojotron is an open source twin-stick shooter similar to Robotron: 2084 or Llamatron. It uses ClanLib 0.6 which is no longer maintained. I've been updating the program to use SDL2. In addition I've been replacing the graphics with new graphics from opengameart.org. The original game was more like Llamatron in tone and I prefer the more serious tone of Robotron: 2084.
I've decided to experiment with funding my open source game work. The Mojotron: Robot Wars is up on kickstarter. When the funding is reached the game will be released with source code.

I gave an interview to LinuxGameCast. We talked about open source games and Mojotron: Robot Wars.

Mojotron: Robot Wars failed on kickstarter but that has not stopped my work. You can purchase copies of Mojotron: Robot Wars at dulsi.itch.io. All profits go to continueing my efforts to restore old open source games. This work includes making the game buildable again and adding new features. For Mojotron: Robot Wars, I ported it to SDL2 and create a new look for the game.
