Hi, I used to play Clonk 4 back in the old days. The further development of Clonk (up until Clonk Rage) more or less went past me. I took several looks again, but the newer games couldn't really "get" me. I think my main problem was this "overkill" of new stuff and, most of all, the overkill of all this meelee and fighting stuff. I liked Clonk 4 because there you could have big teamplay "build-up-a-town" games, with mining and lumber jacking and electricity to get all resources and build a "self-running" industry.

I was really happy when I heard of OpenClonk and that it will be doing a whole new start. But the development here seems also mainly going in the "fighting" direction. I just tried the OC 1.2, but all it gives me are melee scenarios. Will there be also friendly "Settlers-like" maps in the future?

So, and now some questions, just out of curiosity:
1) OC 1.2 looks like a game on it's own (new controls, new graphics engine, new content) - is there something of the original Redwolf code left?
2) What about the "auto generating" of maps? I was hoping to have the possibility to start with one single clonk in an yet unknown and untouched land and build up some houses and mine resources.
3) is there a roadmap?

What I really like about OC is the "community friendlyness". You have nightly builds, 64 bit builds, a blog, a forum for unregistered and a very nice website. That's great. :)
