And it cannot be installed without Java. Another thumb down...

Only the installer uses Java if I got it correctly.

Extractor is written in java. This program is responsible for extracting data (and save them in more friendly formats) from original ufo game.

[Mattn]

and this can't be ported over to c or c++ (or whatever your game is written in?) - installing java to run a game that is not using java is a little bit strange imo.

i hope you don't get our feedback wrong

[misiek]

Yeah, maybe someone will do it. It was just faster to use java for it.

Maybe in final version extractor won't be needed at all - if all graphics will be replaced by new one.

nice - a huge step compared to the old shots. release the code and the media under some open source license so we could get this into the linux distris please

[MXcom]

Looking good Only thing I can nag about is that your artist decided to put dollar signs into the food stands at that terror mission. I doubt that's a good idea, since the tiles are probably supposed to be used for terror missions all over the world and not only on US territory, no?

Wow, really nice graphics 
I hope you guys wont stop working on that. Really NICE!
