FLARE the increasingly awesome open source RPG Engine and Game of the same name has released version 0.18! The quality of this is just insane.

Have real high hopes for this game/engine since it just looks fantastic, the quality looks really professional.

The only thing that bugs me is naming both the engine and game FLARE, it does get a bit confusing.

Thanks for the plug!

Version 0.19 will be the first Beta release of the engine, and along with that we'll be obsoleting the "flare-game" alpha demo and introducing new content. This new game will have its own name, and Flare will be the engine's name.
