The new year has just started and already we have good news for the Ogre community: Pavel Rojtberg officially joined the development team. Many of you will already be familiar with him and his work in his Ogre 1.10 fork. Many / most / all of his changes will step-by-step make their way into the official 1.10 branch for which Pavel took over the maintenance. Some of you might already have noticed that based on him having commit/merge privileges now in the repository and him already making use of those since a few days.
Since most of the team resources are currently locked up in Ogre 2.x development, Pavel’s support is most welcome to make sure that the current Ogre 1.x versions don’t get left behind.
So, welcome on board Pavel!

Since we often get questions about the new Ogre versions in general and more specifically about the state of Ogre 2.1, Matias took the time to prepare an FAQ article in the wiki that provides answers to the most frequently asked questions. Over time we will expand this article to include new questions.
Link: Ogre 2.1 FAQ in the Ogre wiki.
For a more general overview about the Ogre versions, we also have our existing “What version to choose” page to provide guidance.

As many have already noticed, we have a new Ogre team member for already a few weeks now, so it is finally time to official announce this great news: Eugene Golushkov (forum account: Eugene) has joined the ranks of the core team and is currently focusing on the DX11 implementation efforts.
Eugene is actively working on a commercial application using Ogre and therefore is able to provide a lot of crucial insight into the implementation’s state and is able to directly tackle issues as they get uncovered by his day-to-day work. He already contributed a lot of fixes and additions to the DX11 render system and is overall doing great work.
More details on the updated team page.

In a few hours the deadline for organizations to apply for the Google Summer of Code 2016 will end. And of course we have submitted our application to participate again in this great project.
One part of the application is an ideas list that proposes some interesting topics to potential students. The development core team compiled such a list of project ideas that are deemed very relevant. But of course this list can be extended by ideas from the community. In order to gather and discuss them, we created a thread in the forums and would encourage everyone to chime in and provide feedback either for already listed ideas or new ones.
Looking forward to your ideas!

Getting actual sales numbers for game titles is often difficult and unfortunately, we haven’t found a magic divining rod to get those numbers (yet), but with services such as SteamSpy it is at least possible to get a rough estimate for the leading game sales platform.
Our community member “bronzebeard” took it upon himself to compile a list of known Ogre-based Steam titles and their estimated sales numbers. He also promised to update the list approx. every month.
Check it out: Ogre3D Steam Game Sales List
PS: If you are aware of any missing Ogre-based application and their sales numbers (either from Steam or some other source), let us know in this forum thread. Thanks!
