New Sauerbraten Release

Posted by Michael Larabel on May 01, 2006

Sneaking out silently late last month was a 2006-04-26 build of Sauerbraten, which has been tagged the Occlusion Edition. In this new release are lots of new gaming goodness from this Cube-based engine for first person shooters and role playing games, it however does not go without a few bugs. Some of the advancements in this multi-platform game include new occlusion culling, smoother lighting, game-play fixes, and many other optimizations. Overall, it is an incredibly action-packed release and at Phoronix we have a few views from this latest engine here. More information is also at the Sauerbraten web-site. We at Phoronix are still playing with this newest version, and we will report back with any interesting changes.
