Check out this awesome video uploaded by 0 A.D. contributor Mythos_Ruler:

This comes after another cool HD video by 0 A.D. fan Carles Reig was put up just the other day. It is also worth checking out.

But we don't want to settle for in-game videos... We want to create some trailers! Or an intro scene for 0 A.D., an ad targeted to OS developers to join the project, and videos that document the development as new releases come out, perhaps explaining how certain parts of the game mechanics work. If you have the video editing skills it takes, please participate in the thread we started to help organize this.

Last but not least, we managed to raise over 44% of the funds we need to pay for 1 month of a person's full-time software development of 0 A.D. Let's give it another push and try to reach our target of $3000!

The pledgie needs more advertising. Tweets, in peoples forum signatures, homepage news posts etc, maybe in the IRC welcome message.

I made sure to put it in my forum signature until it's done.

Might repost this article on ModDB as well.
