Ogre 1.4.8

And, with this, we arrive to the last release of the 1.4 branch, codename Eihort. Ogre is a 3d engine (it deals with graphics only) licensed under LGPL or OUL, with an excellent OOP design and used in several commercial titles like Ankh. So, it is time to look at Shoggot roadmap and prepare for the future. A future that will come much before the end of the year.

Valve's Source engine ported to Linux

Some days ago there were rumors about Valve porting its Source engine to Linux. Phoronix claims that a reliable source has confirmed it: Valve will expand its engine to Linux (and probably Mac OS X once OpenGL support be operational). Currently Source supports Windows (via DirectX 8-10.0), Xbox and Playstation 3. The later surely already uses OpenGL, so I would bet that foundations for a multi-API engine are already set.

SCOURGE 0.20

I have mentioned this game before. The reason, as I explained, is that besides a game, it can be used as framework to create your own RPG.
A couple of days ago have been released version 0.20, which features outdoor maps with real terrain, themable interface, weather and ambient sounds; for the players: new models and stuff.

Guichan 0.8.x

Im a bit confused about dates, but 2 Guichan versions have been released this month (if this is month 4): 0.8.0 and 0.8.1. A couple of new tabs have been added plus some new listeners.
Guichan is a nice, simple GUI library oriented to be minimal and non-intrusive.
