Sauerbraten Engine Demo

I'm planning on making a game, just as a personal project. I've always wanted to do it, so I just figured I would give it a try right away.

First person shooters are one of my favorite genres, aside from MMORPGs... but I think I'm a little new to game dev to be making MMOs, so I'll start here, by making my own custom content for the Sauerbraten Engine.

As you can see, it's a pretty solid engine with some amazing graphics capabilities, but it can still run on older video cards. It's also able to run on Windows, Linux and Mac OS X, making it one of the most compatible engines I've ever come across.

Enjoy my little demo, and I'll upload the next video once I have a couple maps or something.

Looks like the game Cube , instead of you makeing it.

Yes, it's based on Cube. Sauerbraten is the engine behind Cube 2.

The demo was just going through some examples of areas that were already implemented. I didn't make them.

i can run everything on the highest setings exept for the largest rpg map why???

by the way sauerbraten is the greatest free fps ever!!!

[tbonestaek]

The engine is very processor intensive. Due to the entire level being loaded at the start, it has to dedicate more processing power and memory to running the map.

Therefore, no matter how good your computer is, the game will always run better on the smaller levels.

That's the cost of having gigantic seamless levels.

@tbonestaek I think it looks nice. I am into game design and had a look at this engine but I cant find any tutorials on making a full game with it and wouldnt know where to start. Any tips?

What map is that where you're showing "Water Effects"? I'd liek to download that one ... that and the one with all the scenery adn ur in 3rd person. :)

Nice video, I gotta add. ^4

uh by the way, cube 2 is the engine and Sauerbraten is the program. I know because there is also a kids' version of cube 2 called sandbox which is identical to sauerbraten, but without guns.

There are some graphic options in the game.

Also in some cases (like in this video) a blur can make the graphics look better.

[blayde10]

how to make the graphics like this?

the player models (besides the ogro) are MD5s

As long as you don't plan on hosting then dialup will be fine. I can host a 4 man server on my 160kb connection fairly easily.
