...FreeGamer? No not this time :p It's rather that the Spring RTS engine ran into some trouble with their long overdue 0.83 version and now decided to release 0.84 instead ;)
Along with it comes also a new Zero-K release (0.9), which prompted one of their players to make a nice new trailer in anticipation:
So...that's it for today ;)
P.S.: Check out Zero-K's Planetwars metagame too.
P.P.S.: Also Spring related... someone on their boards is looking for people to take over the development of another quite nice RTS game: Conflict Terra.

Back from holidays... and no new post on the blog in the mean time??? qudobup is getting lazy :p
So before we lose all our loyal readers (e.g. the blog authors themselves *chirp* *chirp*), here a quick update:
Zero-K, the Spring-Engine using RTS game, got a bunch uf new releases lately... all the way up to version 0.8.13.1 by the time of writing this. Try it out if you liked Total Annihilation back in the days :D
However, the main reason for me writing about this is the cool multi-touch (tablet) interface someone coded for the spring engine and showcased with Zero-K:
Still a bit rough around the edges as you can see... but this shows that RTS games might have a bright future on tablet-pcs!

Not sure how recent this news is, but the website of the SpringRTS based FOSS RTS Zero-K states that their online campaign metagame PlanetWars is now in BETA.
This is a screenshot of the webbased planet overview, which shows how well you (and your clan-mates) are progressing in taking over the galaxy.
Game-play of Zero-K does not change much with this game-mode, but it puts each game into a greater perspective so to say ;) But check out their own description of what PlanetWars is here.
