You will probably have to wait until 2001 at least before you can expect a '1.0' release of the game engine. However, while we tune our game engine and indeed the games themselves, we will need people to test our work. There are no requirements of our testers other than the enthusiasm to try a game that isn't finished. A simple game, Acorn , is at version 0.2.0 and looks very good. It is a functioning game of pig herding with great graphics and is quite fun.
Useable software is available from here .
Note that anything considered 'stable' at this point in the project probably doesn't do very much. If you want up to date source code, it's availiable from CVS . Most of our source code is covered by the GNU Public Licence . You can, of course, create your own game using our source code and art. You can even use your own art copyrighted as you wish, or charge people to use your resources.
