There are always tons of interesting things going on in the community, as anyone who keeps up with the forums knows, but sometimes I like to lift a few gems out onto this front page for the more casual observers. 🙂 This time:
- The Blob continues to gain critical acclaim since its release – it's been positively featured in major publications including French magazine Joystick and UK magazine Edge, and received a Gold Award on GameTunnel. I definitely recommend playing it, it's a lot of fun.
- FragFist released a bunch of new screenshots and took a final demo to the Leipzig Games Convention last week. It's looking good, we can't wait to see the demo ourselves – should be available any day now so watch the forums.
- Show Mesh was added to the tools downloads / links section, it's an open source mesh / animation / shadows / fog viewer based on Qt and OGRE
- particleAccelerator is a new particle system editor based on wxWidgets and is looking like worthy competition for the existing CEGui-based particle editor, one to watch I think
- Rastullahs Lockenpracht and Arid Ocean joined the ranks of our featured projects
OGRE's community continues to go from strength to strength, it's really difficult to keep up sometimes – I hope this quick summary helps!
