Hey, thanks for your offer!
You come at the right time.
Hi, I'm a core
Hedgewars developer. We're currently in public beta and Hedgewars has been playable for years and we hope to release the long-awaited version 1.0.0 one day. Hopefully soon
Our
bug list keeps burning down
. But Hedgewars really has a popularity problem right now, so I (and I am sure the others as well) would appreciate any help. Our community is not dead (you will find people playing online), it's just very small. And I myself am just completely unexperienced in this kind of “promoting” stuff. You come exactly at the right moment, when we are getting closer and closer to a 1.0.0 release.
By the way,
I have posted about Hedgewars in this forum a while ago.
You could consider Hedgewars an “indie” game (in the sense we have no publisher, thus we are literally independent, thus “indie”
). But we consider Hedgewars first and foremost to be a
free software game (
see also).
I don't know exactly what you do, but I'm sure we'll figure that out later. What would definitely be great is a new nice trailer (we hadn't one in years).
This is NOT yet an official request (i.e. endorsed by the entire team), it's just me posting to you for now. (I say this because I think I should get the other developers onboard first). If Hedgewars interests you, feel free to drop by in our IRC channel
#hedgewars on irc.freenode.net (
webchat) so we can talk.

Comments:
Hedgewars is currently officially in beta state (since years), but we have been plagued by bugs. But the bugs keep burning down and we are moving closer and closer to the version 1.0.0 release.
* = I post this here instead of the website because the UI of the website breaks without JavaScript, and I refuse to enable Google's proprietary JavaScript (I don't trust Google), let alone solve a reCAPTCHA (also proprietary) for this. Yes, I'm
that serious about the whole “free software” thing.
I hope you can forgive me.
