Unvanquished is a free and open source cross-platform humans versus aliens strategy shooter, with a big new release out now that features SDL3.
This release brings with it official ARM support for Linux
However, they have teased one thing coming, which is making the renderer colorspace-aware. Work has been ongoing since 2019 on this to improve the lighting in the game. It's not yet being used as there's still a bit of work to be done on it, but hopefully it will be in the 0.56 release.
The development of this multi-platform game is also being done in the open and can be found on GitHub
Among the features to OpenWolf were 64-bit support, a modern OpenGL 3.2 renderer shared from XreaL
The open-source Unvanquished game is being powered by the Dæmon engine, which is a fork of the OpenWolf engine.
incrementally rewriting the entire game engine to move from being C89 code to C++11
This is one of the first open-source games beginning to take OpenGL 3.x support very seriously.
With the use of OpenAL everywhere, developers of this open-source first person shooter are adding in new audio effects.
SDL 2.x support for Unvanquished now allows for better handling of window manager hot keys, multiple monitors, mouse motion, etc.
move from using the Quake 3 Virtual Machine system to now using Google's Portable Native Client (PNaCl)
The Unvanquished Wiki explains the game as […] The game is available for most major platforms (Linux, Mac and Windows)
Unvanquished 0.54 is working on both 32-bit and 64-bit ARM
IQM format support for models and animations
MD3 and MD5 model support
On the engine front, Dæmon/Unvanquished has been working on physically based shading, relief mapping, and other features.
Unvanquished 0.56 ships with many renderer improvements to its Daemon engine. This update introduces their linear blend regime for improved lighting
OpenGL 3.x renderer from XreaL, Stereoscopic 3D renderer support, MD3 and MD5 model support, an improved shader system, procedural animation blending
Unvanquished is still on track to become one of the most compelling and visually impressive multi-platform open-source games
they would soon migrate away from the SourceForge website and that planned on releasing future versions of the game on GitHub
the Unvanquished developers managed to separate the game's engine code from the game's code by teaming up with members of the Xonotic free and fast arena shooter game
The game was released on tremz.com as first alpha under the Unvanquished name on February 29 of 2012. The engine was already named Dæmon as it had been renamed from OpenWolf to Dæmon in January of 2012, one month prior that first alpha release.
Such mistakes were present in many games from the early 2000s like Quake 3, Doom 3 and others… […] Fixing all those mistakes is required for physically based rendering, light computation and texture blending requires it to be correct.
