Here's what Quan originally wrote about the project.</div> <bR> <div>     Basically, its supposed to be a pre-quel to Wasteland -- explaining the events that led to the apocalypse. [We] currently have a rough beta that is on my homepage.</div> <bR> <div>     We've got an editor (Windows-based) and the game engine (DOS-based but can run under 95) so you can create maps/events in the editor and see the effects in the engine. Also, the game and editor is being released under the GPL so anyone can play with the source code and hopefully speed up development. Try it out, and let me know what you think ... </div> <bR> <div> Sadly, it does not appear that any progress has been made on this game since 1999, and in addition both the Internet locations for this fan-based Wasteland sequel are now offline. I did get an e-mail from one of the developers back in September of 2002, who said:</div> <bR> <div>     Well, Wasteland Zero didn't get as far as we expected, everyone pretty much finished junior project, eventually graduated, and then moved on and got good jobs. That was 1999. Now we are all out of work and resuming work on Wasteland Zero!! We are throwing out loads of old code, (including those crappy open source graphics routines that kept it from running in anything buy a 98 dos window) and making ita actual PROJECT FOR FUN instead of a good example of object oriented design, and things are going MUCH BETTER!!! (Yet somewhat uglier code-wise)</div> <bR> <div>     Anyway, Quan's legacy Wasteland Zero page is located here UPDATE YOUR LINKS!:</div> <bR> <div>     http://www.quanthai.com/~wland0/</div> <bR> <div>     We don't plan on updating that page, its our legacy stuff, but maybe there will be more info posted on techgoon.com or wilx.org, spacenacho.com or even jollython.com (The sites of the other writers and artists and remenents of the old project team! :)</div> <bR> <div>     - Beta Tester, Artist and "Tile Thief", Wil</div> <bR> <div>     PS: Our latest editor MAY be on quanthai.com soon with loads of new tiles and an ACTUAL FUNCTIONAL event trigger menu. Thank you very much for providing so many wasteland resources online! </div> <bR> <div> In May 2004, I received word from Quan that the project was indeed dead.</div> <bR> <div>     Hi Ben. Wow, talking about memories ;-) Anyway, I'm sad to announce that the project has been discontinued due to lack of interest. I still have the code (and all the corresponding documentation) on a CD somewhere. If there are still some souls out there that are interested in it, I can post it ... Thanks. </div> <bR> <div> Project Home Pages:</div> <bR> <div>     * http://internet.oit.osshe.edu/~thaiq [original location, offline]</div> <div>     * http://www.quanthai.com/~wland0/ [second home, offline]</div> <bR> </td> </tr></table></body>
