14 DAY TRIAL // Unvanquished, a free, open source first-person shooter combining real-time strategy elements with a futuristic and sci-fi setting, is now at version 0.24.
Even if Unvanquished is still in its Alpha stages, the developers have added many new features and the game has become much more playable.
The development of the title is advancing very slowly and there are still a lot of things to do, but as it stands right now, the game looks and feels amazing.
“Pevel has updated Perseus for Unvanquished, taking the opportunity to improve the layout and the lighting and (of course) make use of the much better texturing possibilities. Shiny new telenode model from Warvinc. The beam effect's still there, but, like the medical station's healing aura, it's normally not visible,” reads the official announcement.
Highlights of Unvanquished Alpha 24:
• The new filesystem code is now cleaner and handles files much more strictly. The files have been re-arranged somewhat and are stored in a different directory; • If you're using the armoury via the UI, as new players will, you'll see some improvements. Buy an item and all conflicting items will be sold – so switching weapons is now a lot faster; • Tyrants can slash a little faster, but basilisks no longer draw power from humans' power sources; • Configuration settings are no longer saved if they haven't been changed; • The minimum time for which items, buildables, or classes are guaranteed to be unlocked is halved to 30 seconds; • A few more console commands have completion support, and some command output has been tidied up; • An extra preset, “Dlights, no fx,” has been added.
More details about this amazingly-looking game can be found on the official website. Keep in mind that this is a work in progress and bugs are bound to be encountered.
