Updates:


- An important part of the software has been rewritten:
 
    *the destruction of units, the code is now way better and less error prone, it was necessary to hunt some bugs really hard to identify.


- Now the  focus is on new features and visual improvements; 3 major bugs are left(unit not destroyed when HP = 0, unit not responding to a move order in some case when attacking and the loss of mouse/keyboard  when using the unit list window). They shouldnt be too hard to fix, but the exact cause still needs to be identified through more testing.

- Launcher side: The news will now be displayed in the same language as the one chosen for the game(English and French are currently available)

currently i m working on packaging resources properly for the incomming public alpha

shouldnt be long before the game can be tested

Thx for the graphic, as i am programer, that's really nice to hear.
Good catch for english, i am currently making it corrected, sure it does not make serious.
I consider change the font, as you say i is too close, same for 1(i spent 30min searching for an unexisting bug because i read my resources were 1000 instead of 11000)

for the Y axis(game is Y up), it was making lot of issues, like the base could not attack an entity under it, and the game play was less interesting, now with a XZ plane, it is really better.
