xoreos is a FLOSS project aiming to reimplement BioWare's Aurora engine (and derivatives), covering their games starting with Neverwinter Nights and potentially up to Dragon Age II. This post gives a short update on the current progress.

You might have heard about OpenMW, the open source reimplementation of the Morrowind engine which, naturally, allows you to play Morrowind on Linux. Let's test it!

These are the types of projects I can really get behind. Much like CosixTH for Theme Hospital, openage is aiming to be a full open source engine for Age of Empires II.

Unity 5.3 has been on my radar for one single reason, they finally have a modern OpenGL system! I really hope developers upgrade to it.

It seems to be the season for new versions of excellent open source gaming projects. OpenMW, the open source recreation of the Morrowind engine, has a new version which brings important rendering updates.

The F/OSS reimplementation of BioWare's Aurora engine, xoreos has recently had its 0.0.2 release. Highlights include the ability to load areas from all target games, WASD camera controls, early menu support, early dialogue support for Neverwinter Nights, and a xoreos-tools side package.

You can add Torque 3D into the list of game engines that support Linux, it's not 100% finished, but it's good to see them do it.

The roadmap for Unity, the extremely popular game engine has been updated. Apparently a Linux editor for Unity is in-progress, but it may be a while before we see it.

Today is already a good day, you can now add CRYENGINE to the official list of game engines that support Linux, so here's to hoping more games can come over.

The Morrowind game engine reimplementation OpenMW has taken another step towards 1.0. Version 0.36.0 doesn't bring much in the way of features for the game engine but has plenty of bug fixes.

CorsixTH is one of my all time favourite open source projects, so I hope it lives a long healthy life. They have just released version 0.40 which includes some exciting new features to make it more complete.

The newly open-sourced game engine Godot received its first major release today! In the middle of the winter game-jam too, even though the release candidates have been out for a week or so.

A few days ago I published an article about three Kickstarter projects from Argentina and what they had to say about Linux. One of those was OKAM Studio’s The Interactive Adventures of Dog Mendonça & Pizza Boy, and I briefly mentioned their open source GODOT Engine - which will be the subject of this article.
