New Release: Thunder&Lightning 070526

The first release for more than a year brings major changes!

To highlight just a few:

  • Major enhancements with regard to playability and stability.
  • A tutorial mission!
  • Enhancements to the tank's artificial intelligence: It is now entirely possible to be shot down by one of them!
  • TnL makes full use of the Io language for scripting. Io's addons open up possibilities to extend the game in completely unforseen directions.
  • It's now possible to switch to a free-moving observer mode, even in pause (press 'V').
  • Missiles use real-life proportional navigation and have become incredibly dangerous.

This is what I would call a mini-release: There is just a Linux version and no source, data and Windows packages. If you want the source and the data, get them via darcs ! If you want a Windows version, wait until the next full release or nag the author about providing one.... Update: So far, not a single person has nagged. :-)

Now go start your download !
