The content is obviously still propitiatory (e.g. you need to buy it), but some people have already plans to upgrade the source as OpenJK (most likely back-ports from ioQuake3) and make a Linux version most likely.
Would be also cool if a nice stand-alone FOSS 3rd person sword-fighting game would come out of this... but the detailed player animations will likely be the biggest road-block.
Ahh well... and since I hate posting something with no pictures or videos I include the pretty nice new Flare 0.18 release:
It includes some pretty nice new features too:
That's all for now :)
- 10 Equipment Slots, up from 4 (and easily configurable)
- Starting "Class" choice (beginner's power/item kit)
- Environmental/Ambient Sounds on maps
- Much improved handling of Animations, Effects, and Sounds
- New Powers: Stealth, Traps, Thrown Weapons
- New Item Bonuses: XP gain, Gold Find, Item Find, and more
- Improved support for various input devices
- Two new starting quests
