Interview with WorksWithU & German-language coverage
0 A.D.
Tuesday, 23 March 2010 11:48
Chris Tozzi from WorksWithU was kind enough to grant 0 A.D. project leader Erik an interview. Check it out.

Also, we"d like to thank German-language Linux websites ubuntuusers.de and pro-linux.de for their sympathetic write-ups, which have sent a considerable amount of traffic our way. Danke!
 
Goodies, awards and reimplementations
0 A.D.
Saturday, 13 March 2010 01:57
Open source software advocate Kinshuk Sunil from India, who will be presenting 0 A.D. at an OS software unconference called OSS Pilani, tweeted us the following question: "are there any 0ad goodies - stickers/posters/etc - good for give aways?".

We try to accommodate our fans as much as possible, so we put up png and illustrator files of the 0 A.D. and Wildfire Games logos, to help our fans create their own 0 A.D. graphics and schwag. They can be found at the bottom of the Get Involved page. We look forward to your contributions and would love to see what kind of graphics you can make!

In other news, over this last month our programming department has reimplemented death, resource gathering, projectiles and construction, as well as some work on the in-game GUI. This is part of the reimplementation of the Simulation component of the engine behind 0 A.D., Pyrogenesis. (The reimplementation is discussed here.)

Also, the description of winners of Independent Game Festival Awards over at Gamespot makes an interesting read.
 
GameInformer"s Indie Week Coverage on IGF 2010
0 A.D.
Tuesday, 02 March 2010 04:10
If you"re interested in indie gaming besides 0 A.D., GameInformer is running a special seven-day coverage on all indie games that received nominations in this year"s Independent Games Festival. (via The IndieGames Weblog)

Edit: On a similar note: 0 A.D. hasn"t accepted funding outside of PayPal donations, but it"s still cool to know about Indie Fund, "a brand new funding source for independent developers, created by a group of successful indies looking to encourage the next wave of game developers". (via @Wolfire)
 
Press page, Twitter feed and more
0 A.D.
Friday, 19 February 2010 05:39
Hey everybody, we have started an official 0 A.D. Twitter page and linked to it above. Some interesting recent tweets include CC-licensed music; a new study saying Carthaginian child sacrifice never happened; and secrets revealed from a Bronze-Age shipwreck. (0 A.D. doesn"t really cover the Bronze Age but it"s still interesting). You"re all invited to follow us!

Next, we"ve hooked up the RSS feed with Feedburner, to make it easier for new fans to subscribe, and launched a page called In the Press, which documents some of the awards, news coverage and critical acclaim 0 A.D. has received.

Also, have you been wondering what gameplay features of 0 A.D. are done and which aren"t? Philip (Ykkrosh) compiled a feature status report. Discussion can be found in this thread.
