OpenArena 0.8.8 (Full Version)
Feb 18, 2012 Full Version 4 commentsThe full 0.8.8 version of OpenArena. Includes: OA ver. 0.8.1 + OA patch 0.8.5 + OA patch 0.8.8.
It is an open source multiplayer first-person shooter. It uses the id Tech 3 engine source code (which is released under the GNU General Public License v2), and fills in the blank with all new media to make a playable game.
OpenArena is licensed under the GNU GPL version 2 - data and engine. Anyone can contribute to it, if it complies with the GNU GPL.
WARNING: OpenArena contains Mature Content. I'm serious. If you don't like shooting the bloody guts and beating hearts out of voluptuous barely modest combatants then don't play it, or play without the mature pk3 file and use com_blood 0/cg_showGibs 0 (but be aware that pure servers may not agree with this).

After a short delay of only several month finally the 0.8.8 release of OpenArena arrived at Desura.
Go give it a glance and maybe set up a dedicated server to celebrate this memorable event ;-)
The 0.8.8 release features a new character model called Neko and a bunch of either reworked or completely new maps for offline single player or online multiplayer games.
Next time a new version is released, it will doubtlessly arrive a little earlier over here.

This is the unified zip release of OpenArena 0.8.8 patch. Requires the previous 0.8.5 and 0.8.1 version to play.

Well, my PC is going asleep now a little bit - say: my server is offline again. I myself connected from time to time but only once got a short round against another human player - who of course pawned me at once :-P
To cut a long story short - we definetly need more OA-Players around here. Maybe we could arrange something like WoPs "Padday" using the comments or maybe even doodle or something similar to arrange a certain date (and time) when to meet and frag each other online ...
Wohoo, seems like the new version is finally on desura, big thanks to those involved!
Yes, it took quite a while - next time a new version is released, we'll make sure, it arrives a little earlier ;-)
How about celebrating this (re)release by setting up some dedicated servers at the weekend? We could perhaps name them "{desura}whatever_you_like", so people know they are joining other desura players ...
What do you think?
Are there any Sorlags or equivalent in this?

Sorlag is an 'alien lizardy' archetype, Liz is just a basic anthropomorphic lizard.
OA3 could turn it to a dragon or something. maybe.
Someone else will need to take on Desura maintenance. I don't have the time or resources to do so myself.
What exactly has to be done to get the new version distributed over Desura? I'm no Gamedeveloper, so i can't really figure out, how much time i would have to spend on maintenance ...
