Brian 0.1.2 has been released at Tue, 24 Jun.

WHAT IS BRIAN
=============

   Brian  is an unfinished jump-and-run platform game. It is written
   in  the Python programming language, using the Pygame library (on
   top  of SDL). Although it will be an independant project, it will
   be  inspired  by Commander Keen. It will be written using a Linux
   workstation,  but  it  should  be  crossplatform  for  all  major
   platforms  (Linux, Windows). It is called Brian after "Monty
   Python's   Life   of  Brian",  and  the  game  may  contain  some
   references. Currently, Brian includes the following features:
     * Player score
     * Multiple resolutions
     * Monsters
     * Random levels
     * Level editor
     * Level exits
     * Perspective
     * Music
     * Sound (very limited)
     * And more, but don't expect it to be very much fun yet

WHATSNEW
========

    * Windows version now works
    * Fire's have a variable size
    * Multiple backgrounds now possible and edible
    * Walls now have perspective, engine should work for other sprites too
    * Brian appears behind walls when he's on the left
    * Don't load data if we don't need it
    * Many bugfixes
    * Many internal fixes
    * See NEWS file for details
    * See CVS logs for even more details
