Players design a command crew, pick a stock starship or design their own, and go into battle! And while one-on-one battles are a blast, that's only the beginning! Why play with just one ship when you can command of fleet?! Command an armada of up to 500 scouts, fighters, cruisers, battleships, even space stations! Break them off into fleets and sub-fleets as you scour the galaxy looking for your opponents ships. | Andromeda Online beta | new | Andromeda Online |

We will be looking for gamers of all kinds to playtest the game on various hardware configurations, so anyone interested should sign up for our <a href="http://oddlabs.com/newsletter.php">newsletter</a>, where we will post a link to a beta tester application form once testing is about to begin. We will only choose a limited number of testers among the applicants, but since Tribal Trouble will also be available for Linux, we would really appreciate if any of you Linux users apply.</i></blockquote> You can read the entire announcement <a href="http://happypenguin.org/forums/viewtopic.php?t=1462">in the forums</a>. | Oddlabs looking for beta testers for new realtime strategy game | default | |

In general Crystal Space has become faster and more mature. One important thing in this release is that the new renderer architecture is much more usable. It is still not enabled as default because some important parts are still missing but if you only need OpenGL and don't depend on volumetric fog then I strongly recommend using the new renderer architecture (instructions on that can be found in the documentation). <ul> <li>The most important change in this release is the maturation of the new renderer architecture. <li>Another important highlight is support for cal3d models (skeletal animation). <li>With the new renderer there is a new terrain engine that supports modern features like splatting (combining multiple textures dynamically) and scattering. <li>The VOS project has put in a VOS networking plugin in CS. <li>Crystal Space is now using 'jam' to build. We still provide 'make' compatibility by having a 'make compatibility layer' but in general we recommend using 'jam' for CS and also your own projects (unless you use MSVC). <li>The OPCODE collision detection plugin has been fixed so that it is now used as default by walktest. OPCODE has no restrictions to commercial usage (as opposed to RAPID), is faster, and uses less memory. <li>The Dynavis visibility culler has been improved. <li>Lots of other bug fixes and enhancements. <li>Documentation has been updated and enhanced. </ul> </i></blockquote> | Crystal Space 0.98r002 | updated | Crystal Space |
