If you need help or have general questions, you can either use the forums or visit us on IRC : #lightfeather on irc.freenode.net.
If you need a certain feature which is currently not implemented or find a bug, please use the ToDo/Bugs/Request link in the main menu. We are always open to suggestions and will usually implement needed features pretty quickly.

Please note that the screenshots displayed on this site are mostly programmers art and proof-of-concept screenshots and in no way represent the graphical abilities of the engine.
If you create some nice screenies, send them to us or add your project to the "Projects using LF" section in the wiki and add a screenshot or two there.


API Change
A rather big API change was just committed to the hg repository.
The loading/saving of data is now handled through CLFPersistence instead
of CResourceManager.
This should not cause many problems with existing programs.

Oh and by the way, yes we are still alive :)

We still have some things on the todo-list for the next release so it will probably come in about a month or so.

Yes, we are still alive :)
There will be a new release within the next two to three weeks.
And a little warning - the hg version of the modelconverter will not compile on windows systems at the moment, since we are working on expanding its capabilities.
Will post here when it is back in working order.
