Welcome back to AC2

It's great to see this community back alive again!

How many of the old guard remain? I hope that life has treated everyone well. It's been... interesting for me, to put it mildly ;nod

I'll make a few threads showing some of what I've been up to over the years in the coming days

Green is checking by regularly.  Yitzi turned back up a few years ago, but not lately...  I don't know that anyone has heard from scient in forever, but the OpenSMAC github would be a place to look..

That's who I can think of off the top.

Hello again :)

I don't do much with SMAC any more, but I'm glad that you've got the website up again! Congratulations to everyone who made that happen!

I know that all three of the most recent code and modding projects are still going: induktio and tnevolin are still working on their mods. Tnevolin's Will to Power mod had an update just yesterday; and GLSMAC, an open source effort to reimplement SMAC is still going too. Discussion mostly happens on it's discord, I think.

Scient is not doing anything with SMAC any more, to my knowledge, and the OpenSMACX github repo has not had any updates in years.

Ah, this is were you went to.
I thought the bills hadn't been paid yet, hence the forum downtime, but by chance found the notification mail you sent out.

Already we have turned all of our critical industries, all of our material resources, over to these...things...these lumps of silver and paste we call nanorobots. And now we propose to teach them intelligence? What, pray tell, will we do when these little homunculi awaken one day announce that they have no further need for us?
