Xcom was one of THE games that made me into a gamer, it was heart breaking watching the franchise get butchered.

Keep up the good work, i hope it turns into something seccesfull for you all.

It's an open project. You can help make it better. Or you could round up your friends and have them help make it better.

I'd love to help, but i fear that i have nothing to offer. I am not a programer nor do i have any artistic skill what so ever.

All i could offer would be suggestions on game design, how ever if i wasnt contributing anything real to the project this would probably sound like little more than bitching.

Maybe ive missed something... if there's something you can think of that i might be able to do let me know.

Playtest with recent SVN trunk, report bugs, report suboptimal eye and ear candy (e.g. weapon effects), report on game balance (e.g. which weapons are crap and why). In short --- playtest a lot and then all your bitching is useful.

Current SVN is somewhat buggy, but shortly there should be some more stable versions to torment.

Cheers!

Cool, for some games (e.g. one of my favourite Angband variants) I even keep a text editor open, whenever I play, for balancing remarks, or just things to boast to others about. ;)

Aren't they already, e.g. in the inventory? Where else?

If they are in they didnt seem to be working, i'll start up the game and check again.

They're not in in the 0.12b demo. They were added after that.
