Just a quick update on things that are going on in the community, incase you don’t keep up through the forums or on irc:
- wolfman8k released a movie of the upcoming new version of DIE, he’s made some improvements to the rigging of the car so the physics are even more realistic, and his new race level looks a lot of fun. Get the movie” – note, you need a recent version of DivX.
- Spoke’s PagingLandscape is proceeding apace, and he’s been joined by nfz. In addition, Antiarc wrote a NURBS patch data loader for it which looks intriguing. This is one to watch, you can get a work-in-progress from CVS under the ogreaddons module (a snapshot is also available in the downloads area).
- AmitMathew, bad_camel and psyclonist are each working on game frameworks utlitising Ogre, and there is a lot of collaboration and peer review going on in the forums on the approaches they’re taking. AmitMathews is available in ogreaddons/mage, bad_camel’s is available on the CVS server for badcamelgaming.sourceforge.net
and psyclonists is at drifter.horza.de - POP started up the Open Game Network which aims to promote the use of open source software in games, which we of course support.
- Lots more, if I forgot you, email me 🙂
In short – busy times!
