Congratulations for authors!
I just spotted that my UFO:AI version is no longer current. I hope Arch packagers will provide 2.4 version soon, so people can enjoy newer version directly from our repositories.
I have visited your project's site a few times long time ago searching for good X-Com like game. It was yet too early in alfa stage.
Now I am impressed what FLOSS community can achieve in game industry after that time.
I wish every community such level of determination. It is really hard to keep things and ppls together, not to let them scatter.
To be honest nowadays every proprietary game that deserve attention is far better with community mods than original product. For instance modded Homeworld 2 - Complex, Pirates of the Caribbean: Build Mod 13, Star Wars main mods, Mount&Blade: Warband mods, leading mods for Total War Rome and Medieval. This is the best game experience and no need to install 15Gigs of files.
Coming back to the point.
But you created this game from scratch. Of course I will do my best to contribute to the project and spread a good word. Since I am sensitive to music the soundtrack selection is very good if not the best, reminds me good proprietary game Oni.
Now excuse me I rush to compile 2.4 :D

Congratulations for the new release from me, too. Also first release, I can actually record for my games for Linux videos, but this will take some time.

It is already done, since yesterday.

@Kardell:
Thx for your kind words on behalf of the dev team. We need that from time to time ;)

And I perfectly agree with you on the soundtrack :)

Hi hi.
I just wanted to show my appreciation to you who've made this fine creation. No need to start another thread, so I thought to join in the congratulations. It's a work in progress, but I think you've made a great leap forward since 2.2 when I last tried it out.
