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 .

Thanks to Tangram Games for pointing out to us that they just released version 1.0 of their local multiplayer game Duck Marines . They describe it as: Duck Marines is a cross-platform free software PC remake of Sonic Team’s ChuChu Rocket . Duck Marines attempts to recreate the magic from the local multiplayer of ChuChu Rocket while adding new elements like mini games, a level editor, colorful pixel art and more. But see for yourself: For those not familiar with the original on the Dreamcast here is a small description of the gameplay: The goal of the game is to get as many ducks into the submarine of your color. Gray ducks give you one point, gold ducks give multiple points and pink ducks will trigger an event or mini game. Guide the ducks towards your submarine by placing arrows on the ground. When walking over an arrow ducks will instead walk in the direction the arrow is pointing. Beware of the blue predators. Predators love to eat ducks and will kill a large number of your ...

Thanks to GamingOnLinux for pointing out that this crossplattform *no-programming* 2D game development suite has gone fully FOSS. It can export games to HTML5 and native code (x86 Linux and Windows). Read the original announcement here . The github repository is here . License infos: The IDE (in the IDE folder) is licensed with GPL v3.  The Core library, the native and HTML5 platforms (respectively Core, GDCpp and GDJS folders) are LGPL v3.  Extensions (in the Extensions folder) are using zlib/libpng license.  The name, Game Develop, and its logo are the exclusive property of Florian Rival. Here is a small video to get you started: & you can find some example games here . ---- By the way: I also recommend to have another look at the Godot engine which has had many improvements since it became open-source a few months ago.

See full announcement here . Congrats to Unvanquished , they are doing a great job for sure! While they won by a clear lead, the follow-up projects are also very much worth mentioning:

I'm a big advocate of the phrase, "Release Early, Release Often." I think it is by far the best way to keep or gain community interest in a project. Of course, that simple phrase doesn't quite sum up what you actually must do - simply uploading a release and announcing it on your mailing list is unlikely to attract interest. For example, who knew about Lincity-NG 2.9beta in lieu of the intended Lincity-NG 3.0 ? Lincity-NG is in a bit of a mini-crisis. A victim of the shutdown of the Berlios developer services , all the web material is in a bit of a mess. Its home page is now on fedorahosted.org but still links back to the defunct Berlios page. There are entries on Google Code and Github that are up to date with the source, as well as an imported Sourceforge project * which is the only place you can currently find the beta , however all are unofficial / back up for now. (* Not to be confused with this redundant redundant project ) Another game project which suffer...

OpenRA is a Free Software recreation of the famed Command & Conquer engine, and it aims to support and enhance all Westwood games originally built upon it, namely Tiberian Dawn , Red Alert , and Dune 2000 . However, unlike most engine remakes, OpenRA isn't a simple 1:1 recreation with a little streamlining here and there, as the project also aims to optimize and rebalance the gameplay for purposes of online multiplayer. 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 . Though the package comes without any of this data, it immediately invites the player to download it from the project's own repositories, thus making all the games readily available to play. The campaign mode is sti...

Since football is all the rage right now - unless you are hiding under a rock then you can't have escaped the World Cup - then a little bit of football game news seems appropriate! The game formerly known as Yoda Soccer has left beta and been unleashed upon the classic pixel soccer game world as YSoccer . YSoccer version 14 If you never played Sensible Soccer, then you may not yet get what the fuss is all about - if that's the case then you should download it and give it a try! Sadly football games are a little under served in the open source game community. Bygfoot and Eat the Whistle are quite playable, if a little raw. Project Football is almost a game. Open Football and Open World Soccer never quite got off the ground. Project Football looked great but was last updated 4 years ago YSoccer stands out amongst them and deserves a bit more attention than it probably gets. EDIT: I feel I was a little unfair to Open World Soccer. If you download 0.5 (the most recent release...
