Please, we ask, that you don't announce our project to other news sites yet. You will find mention of this in the release notes.

Thanks for your interest in the project. This is a very early release, and we ask that you view it as such. We look forward to the times ahead producing FreeOrion as a complete, enjoyable game.

We'd prefer that you didn't, thanks. We want to have more to offer when the larger community comes to try it out.

Heh, i cant believe there are many people who are active OS-ers who dont already know about FO.

ATMoo now, thats a different story - you *should* fear some of those people finding out :shock:

Love the 0.1 btw. Very impressed with how much youve got in there and how sexy it looks. Makes me feel even more inadequate than i thought it would (and thats saying something).

on the other hand, you've got a very strong codebase for your project, probably much more advanced that FO. You just have zero graphcs yet, is all.
