0 A. D. RTS Game Pre Alpha 2 Released

We just blogged about the 0 A.D. - an Age of Empires like game - a few days ago, telling you the first alpha will be released in July. Well, pre-alpha2 has just been released so the game should now be somewhat more playable.

New in 0 A.D. pre-alpha 2:

• Added new unit movement system, for precise pathfinding and obstacle avoidance.
• Added training queues in buildings.
• Added units to the minimap.
• Added initial audio integration with gameplay code.
• Gameplay fixes in projectile models and population bonuses.
• Graphics fixes in unit outline shapes and animation synchronisation.
• For modders and developers: Added automatic RNG validation of entity template XML files; Added documentation of entity template XML file format.
• Fixed compatibility bugs with Windows x64 and with OS X.

You can download 0 A.D for Windows, Linux and MacOS X from HERE. 0 A.D. pre-alpha 2 is also available @ GetDeb.net for Ubuntu 10.04 Lucid Lynx only (the Karmic version is older) - even though it says "pre alpha 1", it's actually 99% pre alpha 2.
