Neat. Thanks for the link, this is really interesting.

That's what I thought, that kinda hybrid game looked good.

What is this? Some kind of new Build and Shoot? Damn, those screenshots of the game is great.

EDIT: Oh wait, I think not. The files was last modified in 2012. How sad... it looks great to be honest :(

Holy cow.... you hit the jackpot! What led you to this site?

Okay so some interesting things that I saw in the images:

• It was still being written in Python. In fact it looks like mat^2's OpenGL engine was being used in its entirety to write 1.0. That's quite a bold statement, but I'll just keep looking.
• RPG to be added. It originally was modeled after the Soldier's rocket launcher from TF2, but this was later changed to the current 1.0 design.
• They were still working on trying to port bounded cubes.
• Helicopters.
• Python console built into the client.
• Either they had a really big team of coders or the client was 0.75 compatible.
• UI turned out to be HIGHLY similar to 1.0 by August. This was around the time Ben had to shut everything down, most likely so that Jagex could hire some people to start installing the website.
• The logo actually looked slightly worse back then.
• TC was actually implemented.
• Mods and custom content could be transmitted to clients through packs.
• By the time the new server UI was added, the client was 0.76 compatible as well.
• Emplacements similar to those in VXW.
• Bye Python.

Ladies and gentlemen, this is how executive meddling broke a perfectly good game.

A lot of speculation here.

Originally it was .75 compatible and was a really nice little opengl client, was a big surprise to me when it had turned into 1.0

I bet Matt screwed it all up.
