There is now a Game Announcements section on the forum. Anonymous posting is allowed (but moderated) and any form of FOSS game news is welcome. The idea being is that if you want to publicize a game in any way, post the update there. New versions, new demos, new tournaments, new news, whatever. It is also fully RSSed so, well, if you have a website, include it. Let's get lots of Free Software gaming updates to the world so everybody can know about it.
You may notice a 'Chat' irc link above - #freegamer on irc.freenode.net - another community experiment. IRC has always been a popular medium for collaboration so we'll see if that works for Free Gamer too. ;-)
Good news for *nix users (Linux, BSD etc) who have wanted, but been unable, to play SoulFu - somebody has posted a modified download of SoulFu (~1.5.1) which should compile and run. YMMV. It didn't work for me.
Vega Strike 0.5 finally hits beta. Anybody who has read this blog before should know all about VS and how awesome this version is looking. Love space games? Go help test it.
Qudobup aka Uber-Q has been collecting links of new open source games he has come across in the FG forums. It's in the News Flash bit on Game Announcements (linked above). More tomorrow... hopefully! :-)

Hello Charlie,
Thanks for your blog, it is great !!
The latest version of SoulFu (1.5.2) http://macdonellba.googlepages.com/soulfu-1.5.2.tar.gz
runs perfectly on my Linux box (Ubuntu 6.10).
Try it !!
"Game Announcements Now OnLine"
Spelling errors in titles= not good!
samuel: The default configuration may be causing some problems for charlie (selecting a bad default resolution), so it's still a work in progress. It might be as simple as setting the default to windowed instead of fullscreen, but we're still uncertain...
you misspelled the irc link
wrong : irc://irc.freenode.net/freegmaer
right : irc://irc.freenode.net/freegamer
