FARC Alpha 1 [0.5.2] is Released.
The so-called "first playable alpha", or version 0.5.2, is finally released, after about 4 month of development.
Like it, Hate it or "WTF" it, it's available to download and here to stay until the next major release.
You can find the file (Windows only, or usable under Linux by Wine) here .
The Download page of this blog is also finally updated with the links and the long changes list, if you want to see what are the additions since the 0.4.1.
Talking of version I changed it a bit: until FARC goes in beta, one day, the releases will be counted as Alpha 1, 2... and so on, including the real version between [] (ex Alpha 1 [0.5.2] ). I do that because there will be more often releases from now as long as I work to consolidate this Alpha 1, and only the build will change, not the version. It could be confusing a bit.
There's not much to do, apart to assign people for construction and build some infrastructures, but anyway an another core system is done.
If you want only see what work has been done in 1 year and 4 month you can see the changes in the Download page.
Here's a little FAQ (based on comments/ forum posts over the time and a bit of self masochism
):
