The mandatory "Yes, this project is still alive." newspost.

2007-02-08

Some weeks ago we realized that this project had surpassed our ability to organize c-code. Therefore we decided to rewrite everything in c++. For all of you who ask "So this means that the cool weapons/power-ups/multiplayer support/sound effects/ANN-based AI will take even longer to complete?", the answer is "Maybe". Anyone curious can find the new codebase in our svn repository (check download page for details regarding svn). Those who want to play can still find the last playable release from the download page.

New website host

2006-10-30

Fellow Thespelers. As you can see, we have recently changed web host. This is due to the fact that, after a server outage, it became clear to us that our previous web host could not guarantee the stability that would be expected by Thespel community. We are now hosted at sourceforge and hope that you should experience no such inconvenience in the future. Thank you for your patience.
