I guess quite a few people were waiting for this to finally happen :) Have a look at the release announcement here and the full change-log here . They also did a nice introduction video a few months ago: Haven't got the chance to try it myself yet, but this is high on my list of open-source games to play!

Some idTech4 games progress

Great news from the people behind the idTech4 powered stealth FPS The Dark Mod : They are making great steps to leave their Doom3 mod legacy behind and a standalone version should not be all that far from now. New The Dark Mod replacement artwork You can follow the progress here on their forums , and maybe you can also give them an helping hand. Interestingly there are two other recently updated Doom3 mods, that could easily fit in as The Dark Mod mods , e.g. going stand alone with The Dark Mod's help. The first one is a Hexen remake, called Hexen: Edge of Chaos : And the other one is a prequel to the Arx: Fatalis ( engine also FOSS , btw.) game, called Arx: End of Sun : Sadly both of them use proprietary themes (and one could even argue that The Dark Mod is borderline infringing on one too), but I am still looking forward to try out these nice community creations once they become stand-alone!
