First of all, I will begin with an unrelated but never the less essential reminder: As many of you likely know, today (12 July 2017) is Net Neutrality day. If you enjoy the games and animations I make, you likely enjoy the free and open internet I use to offer them to you... and if you enjoy that, then Net Neutrality is something you MUST stand up for! Please take a minute to check out the following links on the subject:

For whose of you who follow me and my projects, 12 July is an important day for another reason as well: Today is the day Vore Tournament 2.0.0 is finally released! After months of work on porting the base features, fixing the essential bugs, and setting up a default balance and configuration... we now have an official release, which is easy to download and run on top of any recent Xonotic installation. For those who haven't seen the announcement submission in my gallery, VT 2.0.0 for Xonotic 0.8.2 can be installed by following the following steps:

1 - Download and install the latest version of Xonotic from http://xonotic.org You might want to try a vanilla game first, to make sure the base game is working properly.
2 - Download the archive of the latest Vore Tournament release from this repository using the download button provided.
3 - Unpack this archive inside the base Xonotic directory, so that the "data_voretournament-" directory is sitting next to the "data" directory.
4 - Rename "data_voretournament-" to "data_voretournament", deleting the extra names and numbers from the directory name.
5 - Launch the Xonotic executable with the parameters "-customgamedirname2 data_voretournament" from the command prompt or a modified shortcut. Example: "xonotic.exe -customgamedirname2 data_voretournament".

If you want to enjoy yourself to a fun little video before giving it a try, here's the official release clip I put together last week, which briefly shows footage from both the old and new game:

On the boring and annoying side of things, I must remind everyone that if you enjoy Vore Tournament, you might want to consider patronizing me through Patreon; Your support is what made the project possible thus far, and what will make future plans as well as similar game projects happen! Keep VT as well as other games and animations going at:
