removedAs some of our most dedicated players have discovered, Dino Run DX multiplayer no longer works. The wonderful folks at Xgen Studios, who basically let multiplayer live rent-free for years, had to recently sunset all of their legacy games (like Stick Arena) and the servers that run them. And as you can imagine, Dino Run used those servers.
removedThey DID send us the source code to the server itself, so maybe we can get it up and running again on our end. However, we haven't been able to compile the actual game for years now, since it's legacy flash and that no longer works on any computer that we own.
changedWe've uploaded the Dino Run DX source code to the legacy-dinorun channel on our discord server: https://discord.com/invite/JM2MMUf . It's a pinned post. Anyone that wants to try and compile the game (Using Flash Builder 4.7) is welcome to. Let us know if you can get it working!
changedUPDATE: The source also exists on GIT now: https://github.com/pixeljam/DinoRunDX
changedIf someone can recompile DX, we'll see if we can get the server up and running on our end with the source that Xgen sent us.

We're open-sourcing Dino Run DX.

As some of our most dedicated players have discovered, Dino Run DX multiplayer no longer works. The wonderful folks at Xgen Studios, who basically let multiplayer live rent-free for years, had to recently sunset all of their legacy games (like Stick Arena) and the servers that run them. And as you can imagine, Dino Run used those servers.

They DID send us the source code to the server itself, so maybe we can get it up and running again on our end. However, we haven't been able to compile the actual game for years now, since it's legacy flash and that no longer works on any computer that we own.

So...

  1. We've uploaded the Dino Run DX source code to the legacy-dinorun channel on our discord server: https://discord.com/invite/JM2MMUf. It's a pinned post. Anyone that wants to try and compile the game (Using Flash Builder 4.7) is welcome to. Let us know if you can get it working!

UPDATE: The source also exists on GIT now: https://github.com/pixeljam/DinoRunDX

  1. If someone can recompile DX, we'll see if we can get the server up and running on our end with the source that Xgen sent us.

  2. We're very close to having a very small multiplayer experience playable for Dino Run 2! More on that in the coming months.

Thanks for the many lovely memories racing dinos. Time to pour one out...
