Tired of seeing jagged edges on your buildings? A24 will include at last, new graphic option called FXAA, that will definitely get rid of what one of our users tenderly called "The Sawtooth effect". We're working on more filters, so stay tuned :) #gamedev #shader #indiegame

LordGood's gracious reminder that pyrogenesis, our game engine is not limited to Antiquity.
Pyrogenesis 1861 is a mod that aims to depict the American Civil War (1861-1865). #americanhistory #gamedev #creativecommons #Blender3d

play0ad.official Hippopotamuses have been spotted near waterholes, you might see some in A24! #gamedev #fauna #creativecommons #blender

Stan`, one of our artists, has been working on streamlining some of the current game icons using Inkscape, to improve their look and consistency.
In parallel he also made new icons like burning for "status effects" a new feature that will be introduced in the new alpha.

It's actually -500 BC -1 BC , thanks for the heads up!

In the next version we are replacing Stonehenge as wonder for the Gauls by the Sanctuary of Corent which is more fitting for the timeframe (500 A.D. - 1A.D) #creativecommons #history #blender

After a long wait (8 years) the 0 A.D. bear has received a visual update from two of our artists. It now has animations and black and polar variations. #fauna #creativecommons #free #opensource

The Mausoleum at Halicarnassus will be available as a scenario entity in the next Alpha. #sevenwondersoftheworld #opensource #creativecommons

Don’t forget to check out our mods. Delenda Est aims to mold the game into a coherent focused design, adds features, new art, and new civilizations, and serves as a testbed for new ideas that could potentially make their way into the core game.

King Nastasen, the latest hero portrait for the Kushites, by Sundiata (Malcolm Quartey).

Nastasen Ankhkhare was a late Napatan Period ruler of the Kingdom of Kush (Sudan), ruled c. 335 B.C. - 315/310 B.C. He is noted for defeating an Upper Egyptian invasion of Kush by Khabbash "taking many fine boats" and putting down many rebellions, thereby consolidating King Harsiotef's earlier conquests.
