Wildfire Games has finished up the next Alpha for 0 A.D.



Lots of new additions in this release including far too many to list here for a full list you should look on the official website and watch the video above!

I've said it before and I will again I think this is one of the most important open source games out there! Keep up the good work guys!

Phr00t the maker of 3079 a futuristic, open-world action first-person role playing game which is available on Linux, announces his next game Gentrieve 2. Inspired by one of my favorite Nintendo games Metroid!

Version 0.9 of Dirk Dashing 2: E.V.I.L Eye is now available for pre-order customers!

This beta update adds 7 new levels for Part 5 of the story! At this point, 38 of the planned 40 levels are built, and the main storyline is now complete. This means you can play through the entire game from beginning to end!


Fans of spy movies know that the climax usually includes lots of action and explosions. So version 0.9 introduces a new gadget for Dirk: an explosive dynamite charge!

It's cool to run back through the level when you're done, and see all the debris lying everywhere.

There is no public demo for version 0.9, as this only adds new content for pre-order customers. The latest demo is at v0.8.1. However, v0.9.1 will be available in about 2 weeks, and will feature significant changes to the demo levels. I will be...

Our forum resident Hamish let me know today about a project of his called Soul Capture. Some of you may be quite interested in this!


What is it?
Soul Capture is a free software utility developed by Piga Software which was released on May 13, 2012. It can be used to capture both the video and audio playback of OpenGL applications such as games. It was created in Gambas and works as a front-end for the glc capture program; ffmpeg is also required for encoding. Soul Capture allows users the ability to capture and encode footage of their games and other applications from a comfortable and easy to understand interface.

Haunts: The Manse Macabre

Another Kickstarter looking for your support, but this one promises Windows/Mac/Linux from the get go.

The game itself:
Haunts: The Manse Macabre is a turn-based game for PC/Mac/Linux that allows players to take control of either the haunting denizens that have earned this infamous home its dire reputation or as the intrepid intruders determined to pry loose the Tyree Manse’s dread secrets. It can be played versus another player or versus the AI, online or all alone. A lengthy single-player campaign tells the house’s horrifying history and unlocks new denizens and intruders to use in the game. Scores of maps combined with variable goals, customizable rosters, and a variety of opponents offer endlessly unique and re-playable games.

It actually looks like it could be a lot of fun, certainly different to a lot of Platformers we seem to get (yes I went...
