Howdy, I posted this and also run Sauerworld, the community news and resources site for Cube 2: Sauerbraten.

As others have helpfully pointed out, Sauerbraten is an open source Quake-like arena FPS. It's been around for years, and this is this first major release since 2013.

The community is still quite active, and there's been a particular hubbub of activity preparing for this new release. It's a super fun game if you're into arena FPS with lots of opportunities for tinkering, modding, and freeform content creation through its fairly unique online map editor.

I'm happy to answer any questions, and there's also the community discord server: https://discord.gg/j3kyxtj

Yeah, thanks for pointing that out :) As someone who has never before heard of Cube, Cube2, or Sauerbraten, I just stumbled on this post and clicked on it because I couldn't figure out what the headline meant, and was even more confused because on the Sauerworld page it's not immediately apparent what it is about either. Ok, the sauerbraten.org page linked in the footer is more informative, and I understand that this is primarily a page "by fans for fans", but still maybe the "about" section should be more prominently featured...

Thanks for the heads up. Haven't actually played since Cube was current and Sauerbraten was getting worked on (iirc, time's past).

Next holiday at the hackerspace we're looking for something to spin up and hook in anyone walking by we'll be playing Sauerbraten!
