Great job hiponboy! It's Beautiful.
But why a flyer, see larger. Why not a website in this style?

nice flyer, got a print-resolution size version (pdf?) of it?

Hi guys, thanks.
A printable version isn't available yet. =)

BTW: I created a simple (unfortunately low-rez) flyer:

Keep the good work.

To bad, lack of development has struck this project also. Played it yesterday a bit again, it has so much potential. Seems like the lead dev didn't had the time any more to work on this.

Actually he said about that on irc but afaik there are no official news on the website.

I's also stated in the forums somewhere.

I proposed to make an ARPG with the 0 A.D. engine as a result instead, but that Idea didn't really take off the ground either. I still think it would be a easy and cool way to get a game up running quickly though. Ahh here is the link to that proposal:

Here is the topic it explained:

An ARPG mod for 0 A.D. sounds great, but wouldn't it be easier to revive Sumwars and try to improve the graphics a little bit? I mean Sumwars is already pretty playable it just needs to be expanded and polished.
A collaboration between Open Dungeons and Summoning Wars would have been really cool, but OD has a lack of active programmers, too. Oln could've shown them how to implement normal mapping for example.

Bump: A while ago it was discussed that if OpenMW would get multiplayer support, it would be a good basis to make a new SumWars based on it.

So it looks like we are nearing this point

And you can support the main developer on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/koncord

It also looks like the OpenMW level editor has become a bit more useful beyond assets management lately:

Definitely worth keeping an eye on if someone wanted to finally revive this FOSS ARPG.
