Rising Thunder Gets A New Lease On Life With Community Edition


Rising Thunder, an indie fighting game that never made it out of its first beta test in 2015, is releasing a "Community Edition" of the game to let fans of the game keep it running despite its death. The fighter was first pitched as an accessible fighting game that focused on reading your opponent over execution. The former Rising Thunder team has announced that they are releasing the latest internal build of the game, which includes online play and local play, but there's no characters or stages that weren't available in the last beta. Additionally, the team is releasing the source code for the servers, allowing the community to tinker with and improve the rudimentary matchmaking server being released with the Community Edition. Rising Thunder: Community Edition will be released for free in January on PC. The Rising Thunder team also mentioned that they have a new project in the works and will announce it "when the time is right." Thoughts ? I really enjoyed the the little time I had with the game and with the community having the source code, the skies the limit for this.
