Finally, a new release for Nebular Gauntlet. After 2 months this release includes a map editor rewrite using Fox 1.6 for cross-platform compatibility (One-Click Installer includes Fox by default). However, there hasn’t been alot of new features (mostly fixes) in the Nebular Gauntlet game itself (school, _sigh_), but I am gearing up to start major improvements to multiplayer for the next release. Feedback, as always, would be great.

There really hasn’t been much graphical change between 0.3-\>0.4. Alot of the changes were small performance or bug fixes, while the bulk of the work was put into the map editor (which I can put screenshots up for if you like). The biggest graphical change was the menu background which can be viewed at: [http://www.nebulargauntlet.org/trac/ng/wiki/Screenshots/0.4](http://www.nebulargauntlet.org/trac/ng/wiki/Screenshots/0.4)
