[Kip W. <ki...@th...>]

Friends,

I would like to share the following news with you regarding a
sub-project of Avaneya which may be of use to you.

Avaneya is a cerebral science fiction game set on Mars currently under
active development (GPLv3). It combines the perfect blend of the
metropolis city builder social simulation, real time strategy, and
cooperative multiplayer. It explores mature themes in social justice,
politics, ecology, economics, and more.

We are pleased to announce the successful digital recovery of the first
images ever returned from the surface of Mars. Our studio recovered a
substantial amount of NASA's previously inaccessible Viking mission
data. The historic billion–dollar mission was the most ambitious in
history. Launched in 1975, it was the first to successfully reach and
photograph the surface.

internal research tool, is now available on DVD for only $15. We ship
worldwide.

Your support is essential to help make libre gaming for GNU a reality.
We need additional full time staff, including professional creative and
technical directors, musicians, artists, and engineers to supplement

We will have a lot more to showcase with you over the coming weeks,
including already complete beautiful concept artwork.

Enjoy,
