Passenger / News: Recent posts

You can now organise sessions of Passenger at NewGame! (http://ng.game-host.org), to ensure that other players are playing at the same time, which obviously makes it much more fun!

The Passenger forums have moved! The old forums (provided by Forumer) were constantly being spammed, so the new location is

I was getting fed up with the forums getting clogged with spam, so I've moved them to:-

Also, version 3 is out now!

Actually, it was released a few weeks ago, but I've been so busy with development I've not had chance to announce it. If you've played the game and think it's good or bad, please drop me a line. Or if anyone can tell me where the "help wanted" section is on this Sourceforge thing, cos I need help with 3D models.

Unfortunately there was a problem with the auto-updater, so I' afraid for this version you will need to update manually. Mor details on request.

As well as many other tweaks, including new sfx, this version will also automatically update itself whenever a newer version is released. This will make it much easier to keep your client software up-to-date.

Yes, you read that right. The 1/tenth version increase is justified as now the city is complete, the 3D models are textured (some, anyway) and the terrorists are running loose, waiting for you to stop them!

If you are running a Passenger client of version 0.16 or less, you will need to upgrade as it will not work with the latest server. This is because I needed to change it to send larger numbers due to the size of the new city. Apologies for any inconvenience.

The latest version of Passenger (0.17) now has a massive new city to wander about. Okay, it's a bit sparse, so if you feel like helping build it, get in contact!

The latest version of Passenger, the multi-player-GTA-a-like, now has advanced AI for the enemy, making the game far more engaging. The city has also been expanded.

A Passenger website has been setup, inlucding links to screenshots and the new forum. It's at http://passenger.wikispaces.com/.

As well as loads of tweaks, there is now a much larger and more detailed city to walk around.

The latest release of Passenger, the multi-player GTA clone, now has proper gameplay in that there's something to do, rather than wander around a city. There are now other people wandering about, and the aim of the game is to kill the red one. There is still plenty of work to do, but it's progressing fast.

The first initial upload of Passenger has been completed. It is a very early beta version, but it is possible to walk around and even drive. Comments welcome.
