It's been quite a while since the 0.0.2 release. Any plans for another release some time soon? Do you have a ToDo for 0.0.3 or 0.1 or whatever the new release may be?

The goals for 0.0.3 are listed in the coarse roadmap I wrote a couple of days ago. Most of the features are already there, but I still want to add more content to better demonstrate them. There are also some bugs to fix and some cleanups to do so it looks like 0.0.3 won't happen until February.

Releases after this should occur more frequently since the serious infrastructure and content creation related issues are resolved by 0.0.3. It won't be a very impressive release in and of itself, but the internal changes will make future development much easier. 0.0.4-0.0.9 will all be easy content creation and gameplay scripting releases since the major engine features required by them are there already.

Alright, it's out now. Let's hope the next one doesn't take quite as long.

Great blog post btw.

In answer to your question, to attract contributors, make regular releases and make it easy to build and sensibly laid out.

Releases & docs => community.
