0 A.D. is a free, cross-platform, under-development, 3D, historically-based, real-time strategy game.

Recently the dev team has decided to take the step to become an open source project. Making the code available as GPL and the art content available as CC-BY-SA, and encouraging external contributions.

“We’ve been working on 0 A.D. in our free time for years, and now we want to show what we’ve achieved and make it easier for more people to get involved.” says the project’s website,  wildfire games.

Stalin’s got some moves!

Yeah so apparently this is some kind of rts alt history game where you take Stalin’s army and defend yourself from a Martian invasion. Harry Turtledove would love it.

You can now download and play the beta version of the new game from Oxeye games, a tower defense/rts hybrid called Harvest: Massive encounter

In this fast paced relentless game you’re tasked with building and maintaining a space colony under constant attack from varied waves of enemy alien units, balancing the extraction of minerals and resources with the handling of colony power grids to vary the strength and range of the colony’s defenses.
