Revenge of the Titans updates!

I assume the HIB entry will receive the update though, right?

0 A.D. new website and next release imminent!
10 Dec 2012 at 6:22 pm UTC

0 A.D. is available in the official Fedora repositories starting with F16.

Bloody hell, how did that slip by me?

It would be interested to see this game pop up on places like Desura though, maybe when it is a bit more stable.

Quoting: "liamdawe, post: 7016, member: 1"Agreed I will make the comments have stuff like avatars :)

About that, I have a few concerns with that part of the new website in general. I usually much prefer websites where you get a base article and then go to a separate forum thread where you post comments rather than just a standard comment box. It tends to cut down on garbage posting and actually allows for more proper discussion on a topic (or in the case of Phoronix, it makes it so that the discussions are not 100% pure gobshite).

I like much of what is going on there, especially as an (occasional) content producer as what you are doing does make it look a lot more friendly and professional for potential article/review/interview writers. But that point does concern me a bit. I do not know if anyone is with me on that though.

Regarding how the comments work - will you still be able to post them from the forum interface, or will it just be a regular type comment section?

EDIT: I see me and Xpander were having the same thoughts at the same time...

Cheese Talks To Desurium Contributors (about Desurium - what a surprise)

No, and I did worry about that intent being brodcasted. I just meant at the idea of the situation we are in is still amusing in an evil way.

Obviously someone with a real interest in Windows issues would be very helpful though. But the people who are doing it out of obligation is not what I was sniggering at. I just meant that I hope you will be able to get another passionate contributor.

Yeah, well, hopefully someone who really does care and is willing to invest in the work will come on board at some point.

*snickers evilly* :p

As much as I do not like any platform missing out for whatever reason (even if it is in this case because of honest lack of interest and not deliberate/malign intent), I must admit to deriving great pleasure from this! :D

About that comment by Scott Reismanis - what kind of pretext do they use to decide what is acceptable when it comes to DRM to allow it to be sold on Desura and what is not? Why is LGP's copy protection on Majesty and Sacred okay, for instance?

And yes, I know I am asking questions you do not have answers to. :p

I am a bit confused about the DRM comments - none of the contributors seem to be singing the same tune.
