OpenFrag - An Open Source FPS

OpenFrag was founded in May 2003 and aims to create an open source first person shooter with commercial grade quality. All participants are volunteers and use some of their spare time to help in the development process. The project was recently featured last month at the Finnish game exhibition XPlay 2006. Some of the project's textures have also been featured in the news at BlenderNation, it looks as if there is a promising future for these developers.

    as with all open software, you have the chance to change this :) put on your artist hat and get your brushes in gear. If you are not of an artistic bent, then perhaps you could make some suggestions and constructive criticism of the project.

    Ramble's right, that's the very reason I 3 Apple

    You know, if you use < instead of &lt; when you want to insert a less-than symbol someplace, then your <3 ends up looking more like you're teabagging than hearting Apple.

  4. The Actual Site by Kwesadilo · · Score: 4, Informative

    The project site is located at http://openfrag.org/, although I believe it is in the process of being slashdotted right now.

    I wonder whether the first iteration of the game will be traditional or tactical? I assume that the designers want the engine to be good enough that it can be customized to do both. But what kind of game do they actually want to make? More like Quake or more like Counterstrike?

      Since Cube is not further developed anymore you might want to check out it's successor Sauerbraten
