Apricot is the newest project from the Blender Institute with the goal to build an open-source game instead of a Blender video this time. The characters used in the game are from the Big Buck Bunny movie, the last free movie developed using Blender under the name Project Peach.

m64 talks about an idea for improving open source game development process: creating realistic aims through ultra-episodic game releases.

Following Elephants Dream and Peach (to be released in April), both open-source movies sponsored by Blender, Blender, an open-source 3D modeling application, and CrystalSpace, another open-source project relating to 3D graphics, are starting out a new project - a 3D open-source professional game.

As some of you may know, the Blender Institute has a new open project called "Apricot". They are creating a 3D game with main characters based on the 3D short animation open movie called "Peach". As of now, the game is almost finished and looks really good. See the demo video below to know what I mean.

Game Editor is the open source game design software that gives you the power to create the games of your dreams, and, unlike other game creation tools, gives you the chance to get and change the source code of the game creator and design and develop 2D games for personal computers as well as mobile devices.

Game Jolt (a relatively new Open Source/Freeware game project hosting site) has recently announced their plans for implementing ad revenue sharing for Open Source and Freeware game developers. Most profit sharing schemes have only been available to the Casual/Flash gaming community, until now.

As 2008 has proven - draconian digital restrictions management (DRM) does not stop people from illicitly using computer games. Spore, whose DRM was so bad they got ratings bombed on Amazon.com, was the most pirated game of 2008.

A cute, fun and free game. The latest release was in February 2009. Graphics have been improved. Characters added and few extra tracks. Check out the game.

Developers who want to accelerate game development benefit enormously from tools known as game engines. This type of software application helps games to be coded efficiently and easily without compromising on its quality.
