Seen above article on LinuxGames so checked out game on Youtube and it looks really novel.
With 2d and 3d views some fps don't know how this works yet but there is a demo.

It looks cool indeed, but I doubt I'll gonna play more then 10 minutes of this game.
Same doesn't look like the type of game that will hook me in either.

:roll:
I would be fine with that statement if it was just changed to "Runs on Linux (Tested on Ubuntu)"...
Well thanks to sites like ubuntu gamer and omg ubuntu everyone seems to think Linux = Ubuntu heh.

Got a bit of clarification from the developer:
"That’s just what it was tested on. If there’s another distribution you or anyone would like that it doesn’t run on, then just let me know and I’ll get it made."

I wonder if this game was made using Blender and Blender Game Engine.
Is now open source (unfortunately i still get graphics issues, see-through textures / models)

I am still developing this project, and I'm hoping to be able to find the source of a lot of those issues.
MaximB, the game was created more or less from scratch with C++/OpenGL, no outside game engine's involved.
Also, the hard link you have at the top is out of date now, probably best just to get the demo from the website. Anyway, thanks for the support! It's nice to have a fan, heh.
