Gefallenes Reich / News: Recent posts

Now the christmas holiday time has set in I have much more time to work on GR.

If I can manage to work out CVS during the nexn couple of weeks I'll upload the new changes to the server. There's not much functional difference in the current version then there was in Holocaust, but the backend stuff is now much more tighter. Hopefully I can clean up all the code without a complete rewrite.

Have a good christmas everyone... read more

We've just gone back into development!

Once we're ready we'll be so much better.

"Retribution is nigh"

On Thursday the 27th of July, Gefallende Reich (greich.co.uk) will be reseting its database and beginning the Official First round.

Gefallende Reich has been in development since last October, and has undergone many radical changes since the days of it's first creation. This first release will be marked as a special even in GR's timeline as it is the first Offical round; all others before it have been alpha and beta rounds. ... read more

For all of those that can not open .tar.gz archives I have created and released a .zip version of Holocaust.1

Enjoy.

I've had several requests for Holocaust.1 to have a .zip release.

It will be here within the next couple of days!

As soon as I work out how, I will upload everything up to the CVS thing. Any help with this will be GREATLY appreciated.

Over 140 registrations and 30k page views! That's incredible for something that has been running only a couple of months!

Hope the downloads for Holocaust.1 will be as popular, the old 0.5.0 release managed about 70 downloads so this new wone should do better.

I love Gefallende Reich!

The user-manual for the game will be ready for release in a couple of hours.

It will be in HTML format.

Latest Gefallende Reich release is now available!

Things that will be appearing here soon:
A player's manual (very soon!)
CVS updates (as soon as I work out how)
More development

Watch this space!

So much has changed since the last relase (0.5.0) it is difficult knowing where to start!

First of all, the release version naming is different. It used to be in the Standard X.Y.Z format, but it is now in a (string)-X format. This version is Holocaust-1. Reasons for this is that updates are easier to track and releases will be easier to identify.

The game uses a radically new system compared with the old one. The only noticable change to the player is that the status bar (inforbar.php) is updated immediatly after an action now, whereas before the page would need to be refreshed first. To the developers the changes are much more dramatic, each file is now seperated into a 'Process File' and an 'Output File', the processes are done before anything is outputted to the screen so that when it is it is up-to-date. This new system uses a much tidier directory tree within the game so its navigation should be much easier now.... read more

Only a few finishing touchs need to be made now, then the first release of Gefallende Reich will be made (under the new system, there is a very primitive release already available).

The new version, GR-Holocaust.1 will be availible in a few hours (hopefully).

Konrad Haenel has just recently joined the Gefallende Reich Development team, and within the first 24 hours of being with us he has given the site new life!

To see more of Konrad's work then visit his site, http://www.konrad-haenel.de, you can also discuss his work with Gefallende Reich on our forums, http://www.greich.co.uk/phpBB

Expect big things from Gefallende Reich in the near future! A new release is also on it's way soonish

The downloads of the current release are creeping up, it's nice to see!

There'll be a new one soon, just a quick notice to say so.

There will soon be a mailing list for anybody interesting in becoming a developer of Gefallende Reich.

If you download the source code then please join the list too, so I know who is interested in my project.

In the meantime why not make yourself known on the Gefallende Reich Forums? http://www.greich.co.uk/phpBB

Coinciding with the release of the first version of Gefallende Reich, we are asking for assistance in the graphics area and also in the PHP development area.

Gefallende Reich is a multiplayer game written in PHP which makes use of mySQL database tables. The Current graphics on the site ( http://www.greich.co.uk ) are pretty bad at the moment, any help with that would be greatly apprecieated. We are also seeking ways in which the improve or extend the actual code of the game, hence the reason for the PHP developer request.... read more

We have released the first version of Gefallende Reich! V 0.5.0 is ready to be downloaded and installed which includes everything that you need to get it running. All of the scripts which feature on the game's official site (http://www.greich.co.uk) including the structures of the mySQL database tables and also sample crontab commands which are required to run the 'ticker' scripts.

As promised, I will be making a release today.
However, I have not had time to do it up to a stage so that it can be fully classed as being finished as the Ground Assault and Airstrike Features have not yet been done. I believe that everything else is though.

More information about this will be posted with the release later today.

For years I have thought that I can not draw. Then today, I loaded the GIMP up for a play around and again discovered that I can't draw. Later I tried to make the game's layout a little more cheerful. I failed. Again.

I'm looking for someone with a little bit more competence with a digital paintbrush than what I have to draw up some nice logos and other graphics for the game.

Please mail me if you are interested. (webmaster@greich.co.uk)... read more

We've been working very hard in an attempt to get the first version (well second actually) ready for release. Hopefully, it will be ready by the end of next week; in the meantime though, I will be opening the forums on the main page (http://www.greich.co.uk) so that future developers/players can talk with each other.

Woo! Just got confirmation that SourceForge.Net have approved my proposal for Gefallende Reich to base it's plunge into the world of Open-Source on it's servers. :-) Yay :-)
