I put up a thread on my Livejournal about the game, and mentioned this site as well.

Have you considered a Facebook page? WZ has a very large fanbase from the original published version, many of whom will have moved on, and may return should they find out about the project. A Facebook page is essentially a free promo website with quick news feeds sent direct to all its members, so is a very fast way to spread the word, and get info out on updates, Betas etc.

There's also an official Facebook page, but it will not be opened to the public until I start work on the website and can set up an RSS feed.

I made a News Post about it on a gaming site I'm a moderator for.

Here's the link to it if anyone wants to skim over what I wrote.

Note, with the upcoming 2.3.0 release, we could use some help spreading the news around.

The ETA for 2.3.0 should be the 24th of this month.

More details will follow, as soon as we have more details to share. :)
and it ends here.

i like warzone but i don't like to play with the old graphics, the new look much more like a modern and nice game, i think people would also be more interested when they have a free game that looks and feel like a modern, well designed game AND is free.
I think warzone could feel like a modern game (but it would need some changes especially in graphic things and i think also in unit control)

add:
the game has also one more problem that should be solved before i would call it mature:
the build and research should be more easy to oversee and i think there should be also easy to acess favorite building tabs - when you like a building lets the the haubitze you put it in the favorite slot and you easy click on it or even get its own key on your keyboard ans easy build it.
also there should be an auto research so that you can order the one research facility to upgrade one specific research every time (like order to upgrade the machine gun automatically)
also the towers who are strong against vehicles should shoot first on vehicles not on cyborgs tjis also belongs for me to a mature game...

i know some of this things are already programmed or already asked a long time ago, but by now they just made it in the game :(.
Thats the pitti by now i would say the game itself does not so much differ from the original game in things of gameplay.

why? because:

why should have players or developers interest in an old ugly game?
Even if you tell all your freinds about warzone they look on it and say oh god its old and has a very very depressing grey and brown graphic. WHY should they play or recomment it?

Same for developers why should they want to help developing when they dont see that warzone could be a nice and beautiful game with few work?

so there is a need for improving the gamefeeling and game play before you can make a successful publicity work and gamefeeling is about graphics and gameplay not about stability or coding.
