Sounds like great additions, I can't believe they didn't add shaders until now!

So Unvanquished looks amazing, despite being open-source and 0 A.D. not?

I agree, 0 A.D looks really good. They obviously have talented artists, the detail on the houses is really "cozy", if that isn't a good word for it, hehe.

I'm stunned they got so far without GLSL. It's amazing what the fixed function pipeline can do! But GLSL will allow them to move further forward.

Year 2024.
0 A.D. finally released!
With shaders! OMG OMG! Cutting edge!

The power of open source development. Year 2030, an amateur dev sends a patch with support for GL 3+ shaders. Merged and released in 2035!
