Sauerbraten, a free first person shooter built as a major redesign of the Cube FPS, was recently updated. The update provided a variety of bug fixes, graphical improvements, and content additions. Sauerbraten is available for download on Mac, Linux, and Windows platforms.

Here's a bit more about the game and a short list of changes in the update:

Much like the original Cube, the aim of this game is not necessarily to produce the most features & eyecandy possible, but rather to allow map/geometry editing to be done dynamically in-game, to create fun gameplay and an elegant engine.

Changes:
* scoreboard now displays mode, map, and time remaining
* bases now produce ammo in capture mode (take ammo with R key or "repammo" command)
* added reflective water in fixed-function mode
* added reflective glass in fixed-function mode
* made waterfall top/bottom correctly align with water surface
* player vs. player collisions now use ellipses instead of bounding boxes
* added new functionality to the rpg prototype (WiP)
