0 A.D. ✅

We're a free, opensource RTS game akin to Age Of Empires 3, made by a team of volunteers across the world.

The engine was made for mods so there are a lot of possibilities to make RTSes

We're currently migrating to @gitea to ease contributing.

@play0ad Sorry to be that guy, but why don't you migrate directly to @forgejo ?

@plusmid @forgejo We followed the path @Blender took for migrating away from Phabricator and took the bet that the improvements they make for Gitea would be beneficial for us too.

Also this is the first time we hear about that project.

@play0ad @forgejo @Blender Thanks for the explanation. Forgejo is a (now hard-) fork of Gitea after their decision to commercialize it. May be worth a look.

@play0ad @forgejo @Blender @Itms Thanks. Keep up the good work (you too, Blender)! Love playing with your projects :).

I followed the early plans for 0 A.D. migration, and ForgeJo was not yet a thing at the time a platform was selected. So obviously it could not be an option ;)

@play0ad The game is looking good. I will definitely check it out when I get of work!

@play0ad @gitea Yes, finally! Private instance or not? Codeberg seems a good candidate for a public forge (Forgejo, based on gitea).
Very glad to see this happening!

@play0ad @gitea Completely underrated #game , this… I’ve been intermittently playing 0A.D. since pretty early on and whilst it’s not *quite* as good as Age of Empires, it comes awfully close - *especially* when you consider most (all?) of the development has been done by volunteers.

I don’t have the money at the moment, but my plan going forward is to “pay” (i.e. donate) the equivalent of a “AAA” title each time a new major release comes out…
