This alpha got me hooked already. I'm a fan of the original UFO, and though I really enjoyed Firaxis' remake, this game seems to go much closer to the roots. For those who might have only seen screenshots, under the hood the mechanics still rely on action points (much like the old TUs), it's just they are more streamlined. The orange/blue zones/bars are just visual hints, but you can do any combination of actions as long as you have points for it, in any order.

There's obviously a lot missing since it's just a taste of the 'battlescape', but it shows a lot of promise.

After having this game in the wishlist for a long time this news pushed me to finally buy it. Man is it fun! I really hope this gives them some well deserved sells, because the game is really good. Thanks for spreading the news, and hats off to Crackshell for doing something novel (and for supporting linux of course) :)
