Hi, finally after just twelve years [1] UFO Alien Invasion is now available in Debian. It is a unique strategy game that has two main modes of play: Geoscape and Tactical mode. In Geoscape mode you basically run a secret organization to defend earth from invading aliens which includes researching new technology and buying or producing new equipment for your team and in Tactical mode you can directly combat the aliens via a turn-based system. The engine is based on Quake2 but the gameplay is very different. The game comes with a lot of artwork and a complete soundtrack and all maps are compiled from scratch. There is also a map-building tool called ufoai-uforadiant which is based on GtkRadiant, so it is probably useful for other Quake games too. Next goal is CaveExpress but the build system still needs some polishing. [2] Regards, Markus [1] https://bugs.debian.org/244582 [2] https://bugs.debian.org/775743
