Could be, not sure if that qualifies as bigger than GalCiv3 announcement, but the timing sure is right.

lol, you were right Wintersong, there is the announcement!

I guess which is bigger varies.  We all knew GC3 was coming, but we've been starving for eons with galciv2 idling in the dust with all that's gone on with stardock since ToA ... so of course it feels big, and yeah I must admit its my biggest current excitement, but the oxide announcement is huge news.  For now, though, its just an engine for 'future games,' not as exciting as the OMG TERRANS! ALTERIANS! DRENGIN! YOR! TACHIDI! SNATHI! coming right at us. :P

"New 64-bit Cross Platform 3D Engine Announced by Newly Formed Oxide Games"

So I wonder if the announcement will be that they are going back to their roots and producing an OS/2 version.

The Oxide announcement is pretty huge.  Launching of a brand-new studio. That's what has been occupying much of my time for the past year.

Community edition of a game engine?

 

Game engine licenses aren't exactly cheap.

Yes. Who says there cannot be a limited version? Who knows, maybe some hobby programmer some day is in position to make a selection.
