AlienArena reloaded edition

The PR machine behind AlienArena seems to have found out by rigorous focus-group testing and public surveying, that a re-branding of the idtech2 based arena FPS, was in order...
But here on the uncompromising last resort of free and unbiased game journalism we call it what it is: a nice new release, bumping the version number to 7.60; because as you should know... a higher number is always better :p

New alien spider bots!

Obviously it wasn't just the number that changed, and the list of engine, art and gameplay improvements is actually quite impressive for this release.
Another thing they updated is their website (the old one was quite horrible), and while this is a open-source game only by its engine code and sadly not media, I really like their new slogan:

Open Sourced. Ever Evolving.

Which has a certain ring to it ;)

Speaking of PR efforts, there is now a dedicated PR team for War�ow and the long awaited 0.7 release is slowly moving forward and you can see (incl. many nice screenshots) what kind of changes you can expect here.

Screenshot from the War�ow 0.7 changelog thread

There is also an BETA release of the version 0.7 (which according to standard version naming schemes should be a beta itself I guess ;) ) which can be downloaded here.

Haunts: The Manse Macabre is a BSD-code/CC-BY-NC-SA-art Kickstarter-funded, turn-based RPG(?). There are still a few hours left to contribute to additional features.

Sintel: The Game, currently completely CCBY3-licensed, just had their first alpha release! They have original voice acting and all! (Although I did not manage to get it running on Linux yet).

Irrlicht-based cute Puzzle Moppet has been released under the WTFPL and I was able to replace all non-free textures and sounds. Now all we need is a repository coordinator.

Valyria Tear is a continuation of the jRPG Hero of Allacrost project with an active development blog.

Frogatto is a well-designed-code, beautiful-proprietary-pixel-art platformer. The developers started "making friends" on their blog by talking about projects they like.

idTech3 was reviewed in an extensive, illustrated article.

Summoning Wars, a 3d-visuals hack'n'slash needs a new lead developer.

A discussion about OpenGameArt's usability for game developers started on their forums. Improvements were recently added to the texture section and this is a chance to formulate enhancement to the other sections.

BananaBread, Sauerbraten in HTML5

Bananabread is the spiritual successor to Syntensity (which added a Javascript scripting layer to Sauerbraten) only this time running inside the player's browser. It was ported using Emscripten, a C++ (LLVM) to Javascript compiler, and seems to have quite a lot of Sauerbraten's functionality ported over, including bots, multiple weapons, map editing, and even a Javascript api to control camera cutscenes.

It currently runs in the development versions of Firefox and Chrome and seems to get about 1/3rd to 1/4th of native fps. Get the source here: https://github.com/kripken/BananaBread

Now it is time for the Coding Phase of the Liberated Pixel Cup!

Rules:

• Start: July 1st, 12:01 AM Pacific Daylight Time
• End: July 31st, 11:59PM Pacific Daylight Time
• License:  Code entries must be free and open source, and must be available under the GNU GPL 3.0.  You may optionally release the code under any additional license(s) that you choose.
• Source code:  You must provide the complete source code for your entry.  Any code you have written for your game prior to the beginning of the contest must be made available at the beginning of the contest.
• Platform:  Your code must be able to be compiled and run on a 100% free-as-in-freedom platform.  It may not make use of any proprietary libraries or VMs.  Just to be clear, we cannot accept games that will ONLY run on one of the following:  Flash, Silverlight, XNA, Unity, Windows, MacOS , Mac OS X, iOS, proprietary JVMs, or similar.  It is perfectly acceptable if your game runs on any of these platforms, but it must also work on an open platform (we strongly recommend making sure that your program run on modern flavors of GNU/Linux, as all of the judges will have access to it).
• Framework:  You may use an existing engine or framework, or build your game from scratch.

Judging Criteria:

• Consistency of style:  Your game should primarily make use of the art either provided for or entered into the contest.  You may add additional art if needed, but all original art included in the game must be available under the CC-BY-SA 3.0 License and the GNU GPL 3.0 (existing art from other sources may be under any free-as-in-freedom license).
• Ease of use:  Your game should be easy to compile and run.  You won't be disqualified automatically if a judge is unable to run your game, but it will count against you.  You are advised to avoid having large numbers of obscure dependencies or requiring bleeding edge (unstable) libraries.
• Creativity:  Games will be judged on how creatively they use the artwork.
• Judge's opinion:  How much the judges like your game.

Good luck and great Success!

Modus penipuan jualan laptop dan hp online

Tampan ingin menjelek jelakan sebuah alamat situs, Info saya dapat dari salah satu situs yang kebetulan gak sengaja saya buka, Semoga info ini bisa menjadi pertimbagan bagai anda yang berniat untuk melakukan transaksi pembelian online agar selektif dan berhati memilih situs jual beli online, berikut cupilkan dari isi web tersebut:

Beberapa bulan ini sedang ramai penipuan berkedok toko online dimana barang yang dijual berupa laptop atau hand phone dengan harga miring. Mereka mengaku bisa menjual barang elektronik tersebut secara murah karena tidak melalui bea cukai sehingga harganya lebih murah dari harga pasaran di Indonesia. Dengan gaya yang meyakinkan mereka mencoba meyakinkan para calon korbannya bahwa toko mereka dapat di kunjungi langsung di pusat pertokoan di Batam. Modus mereka dengan menyuruh korban mereka mentransfer uang melalui Nomer rekening yang telah meraka sediakan dan bukti pengiriman mereka posting atau kirimkan ke e-mail atau facebook korban mereka tersebut dan selama proses transaksi merka siap memandu cara-cara transaksi sesuai dengan yang mereka inginkan.

Sudah cukup banyak yang menjadi korban mereka, oleh karena itulah saya sebagai orang yang telah malang melintang di dunia internet mencoba mengungkap sedikit situs-situs penipuan mereka tersebut. Dengan bermodalkan hosting dan domain murah atau gratis mereka mendaftarkan dan membuat situs toko mereka dengan mengcopy isi dari situs lain.Hal ini sepertinya dilakukan untuk mempersulit pelacakan dan mengaburkan informasi tentang mereka. Dan ada pula yang menggunakan account facebook yang telah mereka hack untuk menjerat korbannya.

Dan inilah sedikit analisa saya mengenai situs penipuan mereka :

Situs mereka sebagian besar dibuat menggunakan Script Joomla dengan mengcopy isi dari situs Jualan online yang dipercaya.

Dan inilah daftar situs-situs penipuan yang berhasil saya temukan menggunakan pola tersebut :

Akhirnya semoga posting ini dapat bermanfaat dan mencegah lebih banyaknya jatuh korban yang lainnya akibat ketidak tahuan dan kekurang hati-hatian dalam berbelanja online melalui toko online atau pun facebook. Hati-hatilah karena mereka mungkin saja muncul dalam bentuk lain yang serupa tapi tak sama.
