Sauerbraten 2009_5_4

Sauerbraten 2009_5_4 is a kind of game considered the key redesign of the Cube FPS. Much like the original Cube, the aim of this game is not necessarily to produce the most features & eye-candy possible, but rather to allow map/geometry editing to be done dynamically in-game, to create fun gameplay and an elegant engine.

The engine supporting the game is entirely original in code & design, and its code is Open Source (ZLIB license, read the docs for more on how you can use the engine).

In addition to the FPS game which is in a very playable state, the engine is being used for an RPG which is in the preproduction phase.
