[ANN] Nebular Gauntlet 0.4

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.

Thanks,
Steven

Thanks! 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:
