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. He also posted a game-play video of the current development version: He also recently stated that the new release will be fully FOSS, i.e. not only GPL source-code but also all artwork under a FOSS compatible creative-commons license (most likely CC-by-SA). 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.

Not exactly hot of the press, but the developer behind the MegaGlest based RTS Annex: Conquer the world has started a new project: In a lonely planet circulating a distant star, a war of survival rages on. There a sentient race, the Valkyries struggle to protect their world and themselves against the parasitic organisms Devourers. Explore large maps for resources, treasure, and other advantages to fight back the relentless horde of Devourers. Terra Centauri: The Last Stand is a new unique MG based game. While game shares a similar art style to Annex, this game has radically different gameplay and much higher quality models. He is also running a funding campaign on Patreon and you can give feedback on the Megaglest forums . Speaking of Megaglest: while development has slowed down a bit lately, the work on the CE-GUI based new menu and HUD is looking great .

youtube.com/watch?v=dCOHjERswGw Code Combat is a javascript programming learning IDE wrapped in a delicious cute RPG/2D RTS packaging that runs in the browser without any plugins. They recently announced their open source/free art release. The current set of Code Combat tutorials starts with directional movement and activation of pre-programmed behavior, continues with coordinate movement and targeting and conditional behavior and continues towards prediction calculations. Editor GUI youtube.com/watch?v=H5u5ga5dHm8 There is an editor, officially described as "broken". I can confirm that the text editor was slow when I tried using it. :) All in all, a very exciting project. I have noticed a few possible drawbacks so far: It's not yet clear which parts will not remain proprietary. It looks like the excellent humor (writing) unfortunately will do so ( legal page ). The music tends to be too exciting to code to. There's a CLA requirement for contributing. What do you th...

Merry Christmas from FreeGamer! As a nice present from the 0 A.D. team, the new Alpha 15 Osiris was released today: Lots of great new features and especially multiplayer games should be now much easier to do with hosting improvements and a lobby for browsing available games. Another open-source RTS engine (using Mono/C# though) has also released a new version: OpenRA . Currently it is still geared toward running an assortment of older Command & Conquer based games, so you need to own these for the data. But this release adds lua scripting for the creation of custom missions, so maybe someone will come up with a libre game to run on this engine. Last but not least, a new version of Warzone2100 was released about a week ago. This one actually includes some higher resolution textures, which is hopefully the first step to officially integrate all the awesome new art assets from the art revolution project . Speaking of WZ mods: There is also an interesting new tower-defense mod cur...

Pretty interesting news from 0 A.D. today: They are having a Indigogo crowd-funding campaign . Note that this is a flexible funding campaign, so even if they don't reach their goals all money donated will go to the project. They also released a new Alpha version , codenamed Naukratis. Change-log would be too long to list here (which I consider a good thing ;) ), but here is a picture of some high-quality newly added building models: New blacksmith buildings So check out the new version and please consider donating to this top of the crop FOSS game project.

Zero-K , the probably coolest fully FOSS offspring of the SpringRTS engine has seen at least two new releases since it last crossed my mind to check their page... a pity actually as the new features of version 1.1.7.0 (and prior) seem quite nice. And for those not into the game (yet), there is now a channel with commented multi-player matches like this one: Just a pity that the game-play doesn't really allow much zooming in to see the graphically really nice units ;) In unrelated news: New release of Arx Libertatis (1.1.1) Tesseract is getting its own "base game" it seems There is a constant stream of new betas from Octaforge The Unvanquished summer tournament is under way , but matches so far have been a bit one-sided ;) Check out the new 3.8.0-beta1 version of MegaGlest Hmm, there is probably much more... so please comment below :D
