OpenMW Version 0.31 Released news

Greetings,

It's been way too long since our last update. OpenMW is alive and has had another release (two actually). We're getting closer all the time to version 1.0. A user on our forums has been experimenting with porting OpenMW over to android. This is not an official part of the project goals, but it's impressive work. He's got the game running with very low framerates. He's working on touch based controls currently. Don't expect the game to playable any time soon. Here's our release video (running on a pc of course.)

In the future it could be quite interesting to run OpenMW on Android tv, fire tv, nvidia shield, etc. Stop by the OpenMW forum to find out more or to get involved. You'll find videos and full change logs for the last two releases below.
