For an free project, there's been little no to no discussion about it anywhere. It doesn't look too impressive, certainly not bad. It's probably come a good way since then because the video is over 2 years old. The main advantage I see is that this seems to be easier to set up and start using. Which is nice since setting up and using OGRE/Irrlicht isn't something that someone who isn't somewhat experienced with programming can do.

Then again, it might be that killer Linux app.

What do you mean by "scenario"?

Very interesting, seems like something that'd be fun to mess around with.
