Spring:1944 is a free WWII RTS based on the open source Spring Engine. Legions of infantry, tanks, artillery guns and more await your command. Take up arms under the Stars & Stripes, Iron Cross, Hammer & Sickle, or Union Jack, then command your troops to brutal victory. Hundreds of units, custom maps, deep and fast-paced RTS play. The scale? Epic. The gameplay? Intense. The cost? Zero - Spring: 1944 is not a "mod" of a commercial game, but a development of an open-source engine.

Report article Media and status update

Our first release was a bit rough, but we're working to fix the bugs and adding lots of cool new content in the meantime.

While our first release (and subsequent bugfixes) did not go entirely spectacularly (here thar be dragons/crashbugs....), we are working hard to hunt down and eliminate said bugs. Unfortunately in the meantime we're pulling the buggy release off the net.

However, just to show what we've been up to (and prove that we haven't exactly been idle...), I've put a bunch of screens up recently, including the first batch of planes, and the lovable German Tigg'r (hoo hoo hoo HOO!).

Spitfire vs Bf109g

ALSO we've put up some little vids to show off recent developments.

These include planes: (excuse the few rough patches like lack of landing gears and such - the airfield code is the first of its kind in Spring - thanks go to Zpock for an awesome job)


and a longer dogfight (mind the volume!)


 

And the Katyusha weapon (also mind the volume..sorry!)
