Welcome, Marco, and thanks for your kind words!
-
Saw it via the Facebook feed. Thanks for the upgrade & the thank-you!
-
You're very welcome to stay and join, Venn.
Meanwhile, Quacker, let's keep working on this. Could you specify what you need to move forward?
(Incidentally we now have an awesome music dept. head, Omri, so I think we have the music side covered).

Welcome, AlexanderTheGreat!
-
I updated the Feedburner now, I hope it works properly
-
As you wish. Good luck!
-
We are building a new website and we are planning to perhaps set up a place for mods, maps and such for download. Would you like to participate in developing the new website?
-
We don't have a server but we have two channels on QuakeNet: #0ad for general discussions and #0ad-dev for development.

1 B.C. and 1 A.D. are exactly one year apart, just like all the rest of the years.

Welcome, Salesome!
Before I came across 0 A.D. on the Wikipedia article "Linux Gaming", the best open-source game I knew was Frozen Bubble and it isn't really state of the art in computer gaming.
To be fair, neither is 0 A.D.

I used to be called Jerusalem over the AoKH forums, I picked it out when I was about 14 and I had this really intense (Jewish) religious phase, and Jerusalem is a really important place in Judaism. (I actually don't live there and never did.) Everybody would call me Jeru for short.
For a while I got tired of it and changed it to Akavish (which is Hebrew for "spider"), and everybody hated it so I changed it to Jeru. Elsewhere on the internet I am known as Zenith87 (cool astronomical word derived from Arabic, taken ultimately from the 0 A.D. creed) and Thufir87 (character in Dune who can predict the future and advises leaders as some sort of intelligence officer).

It used to be "History is Yours for the Taking" but over the past 2 years or so we have been using "A Free, Open Source Game of Ancient Warfare".

Rough Cut 4
Imagine a moment in time that never was
(On-screen: Time axis animation showing somehow that 1 B.C. is followed by 1 A.D. and that 0 A.D. is being added artificially).
when six civilizations were each at their prime.
(On-screen: Map of the 6 civs on parchment as in the Facebook page. Fade to in-game shots of various building sets & biomes.)
Imagine the freedom to learn from a game, alter and expand it and share your creations.
(On-screen: Gameplay shots, with overlays on the bottom fading in and out. First, logos of Windows, Linux and Mac and the words "cross-platform"; Next, logos of GNU and Creative Commons and the words "Free, open-source software").
Gain experience in game development.
(On-screen: Shots of the actor viewer, wireframes of buildings and units and then their textured versions, a shot of the pathfinding visualization etc.).
Visit play0ad.com to contribute.
(On-screen: Find Out How to Contribute at www.linkhere.com, possibly with YT annotations)
0 A.D. - History is yours for the taking.
(On-screen: 0 A.D. logo & motto. Secondary logos: WFG and the other stuff like GNU, CC, the operating systems)

Sorry, Alandil, it had to be done at some point... For security reasons (the old IPB was not secure), for money-related reasons (we already bought the license - no point in wasting the money), for spam protection (it started getting really really bad over the last few months) and for website development (it is incredibly hard to redo the website and attract new developers and fans when it is essentially a hand-coded hijacked form of the forum system).
Took me a few days to get used to it, but it's like getting around in a foreign country, over time you get better at it.
-
Can any of this be used for PR purposes? Or does it need to be committed first?
-
The RSS feed started working today. Thanks, whoever fixed this.
-
Yes, I would just change the scale to be more precise (2 B.C., 1 B.C., 1 A.D., 2 A.D. in equal distances to demonstrate the point).
Nice job!
-
It ain't much to write home about, but I attached two psd files at your request.
-
I'm interested in Rob's idea before we commit to a particular metaphor. Can you draw what you mean?
-
My other suggestion is that if we open with a timeline or some other metaphor as the first shot, we need to cut as soon as possible to in-game shots, and not continue with another shot of a map on parchment.
-
I had another thought, of perhaps zooming into a timeline. Between the marks for "1 BC" and "1 AD", some greek ornamentation fades in.
The zooming in continues to an extreme close-up of the ornamented timeline. When the black timeline occupies most of the screen, the 0 A.D. logo fades in as well.
-
Thinking about something like this, where the black stuff is an ornamentation. Everything above the timeline fades in expanding from the bottom up.
(VERY ROUGH DRAFT. I am aware this is ugly)
-
We could opt for something along the lines of "Check x page to see what contribution opportunities are available!" instead. If we list specific positions, we're bound to encounter applicants long after they're filled.
Yes, I agree. Could work with video annotations.
-
I think we need to provide a list of areas of contribution, rather than specific positions. (Gameplay programming, AI scripting, animation, ...)
And there are different ways to accomplish this motion graphic, I am sort of apprehensive about pointing out any because I will probably not be implementing them and I don't want to suggest something really implausible.
I would like that motion graphic to appear on some parchment or papyrus.

I approve the script.
