Re: [Adonthell-devel] Re: Countdown ...

Proposed announcement text:

We're happy to announce the release of a minimal, alpha version of
Adonthell - Dun Barethsol. Source code for all platforms and a binary
for MacOS X can be retrieved from 
http://adonthell.linuxgames.com/download/

This
is not a full release of the the long-awaited v0.4. We're still working
at that, though we are closer now than we have ever been. This release
is targeted specifically at artists and developers who might be
interested in joining our efforts. As such, it is a demonstration of
some of the basic map and movement behaviors to be included in the
final version. It is also intended to highlight some of the work that
is still needs to be done, including improve collision detection.
We have a roadmap laying out our path forward. It can be found at http://adonthell.berlios.de/doc/index.php./Tasks:Roadmap

If you could lend a hand, have a look at

http://adonthell.linuxgames.com/news/ for the official release announcement. More information can also be found on our wiki at

Thanks for your interest in Adonthell.

I'll work on it and post it back here. CVS isn't playing nicely just now.

You could do that, although I don't think they were in any special
form. See http://lists.nongnu.org/archive/html/adonthell-announce/ or
https://savannah.nongnu.org/news/?group=adonthell for examples.

As for the content, it's a bit special this time. It should at least
mention that it is not so much intented for end users, rather for
interested developers and artists and that we have a roadmap that
builds on this release.

If you can write up something that would be nice.

Kai
