Annex:CTW RTS version 4.0 close to release

The MegaGlest based RTS Annex: Conquer The World is very close to a major update as version 4.0. Strait from the developer's mouth:
Yes! We are so close we can almost taste it.

It's just a pity that the new much improved GUI code from MegaGlest seems to be not yet ready for the release.

P.S.: Also check out this Tower Defense mod for MegaGlest.

It also got independent of it's original developers (who stay active in development), and the first larger commercial game with it was released on Steam just a few days ago. Fresh of the press is a FOSS release of an pretty awesome competitor though: The Atomic Game Engine was just released fully under the MIT license !

Especially the l...

The project has recently released the latest stable version, fixing a lot of bugs and adding plenty of new features, as seen on the following release trailer: Interestingly enough, in order to play all the games supported by OpenRA, you are not forced to own an original copy of any, given that all three ones were released gratis a few years ago .
