Announcing New Horizons Remastered - Bringing our best work to Unity

[Grey Roger]

"x86" presumably refers to the x86 architecture common to the Intel 8086 CPU and its successors. The designation was invented before 64-bit CPU's. Some systems still use 32-bit CPU's today and some software needs different versions for 32-bit and 64-bit (or simply won't work on one version or the other).

Ok..
Is it the Demo?

Did we need later a extra Program for Modding the Game?

32 and 64 bit.
Don't ask me why programmers decided to call 32 bit "x86", because that sounds needlessly confusing to me.
It's a global thing though.

As far as i know, that goes back to DOS times as we had 286/386/486 processors/CPU. No one thought about 64bit that days!

We'll know later.

G'day Mateys!

How y'all doin? So I've been occasionally lurking these waters for a while now (since way before Hearts-of-Oak had been announced s'far as I remember) and I finally decided to say hello.. err.. Ahoy! At this point, for what it's worth, I personally think it was a really smart decision to go-ahead and simply start rebuilding New Horizons (as glorious as HoO would have been no doubt!). I can only figure that the scope of a port/rebuild project like that would present itself much more manageable than creating a brand new game from scratch. Anyway.. I'm sure you're very much aware of all a' that so let me just get to the point:

I'd be happy to help out with this project if I can

my (limited) skillset:

I've dabbled a bit in coding. certainly wouldn't call myself "experienced" but I learn fast (I actually do). been reading a couple dozens of hours worth of SD:TEHO code over the last few days just for funzies.
I'd say I'm a capable writer (took 4 years of creative writing in high-school)
I'm also fluent in both german and english (I think?).. so I could do some translating if you need me to (I understand there's actually a sizeable german community that's been modding Akella-Games, right?)

on top of that, I've also got a whole lot of free-time at my disposal (have to deal with a few persistent medical issues atm.. but I've found that keeping myself occupied and productive is actually quite therapeutic for me anyway.. so if you've got busywork that I can handle, feel free to throw it my way)

Cheers, Matt (btw, is there a recruitment thread of sorts? because I wasn't able to find one)
