That makes sense. I have to say that the quality of the video is poor compared to virtually every other crowd funding project I've seen. People use game engines for polished expensive projects, so your videos should reflect that. I say this in terms of future videos and I plan on donating. As I hope you'll continue to use and be supported through crowdfunding.

This seems like a great thing. Garage Games decision is obviously a result of being out competed by other companies, but who cares? The recent moves seems like they are trying to build a strong community and be a company based on ideals. The engines are open sourced (maybe they'll get a gsoc student to work on an Android port) so people are free to change them as they see fit. If they survive as a company, hopefully address some of the problems with their engine. It puts more pressure on the dominant products like Unity as well.

Submission + - OpenMW version 0.20.0 is bringing Elder Scrolls to Linux (youtube.com) 1

An anonymous reader writes: The big news these days is Valve's official support for Linux, but Bethesda has no plans to bring Elder Scrolls to Linux. So a group of volunteers are doing it instead (albeit with a decade old entry of the series).

Version 0.20.0 of the popular open source reimplementation of The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind was released a few days ago. It's the team's ninth release of 2012. There's a nice demonstration video for the latest release. Release packages for Ubuntu on their PPA page and other platforms are available on our Download page. This release brings a near-complete implementation of the dialogue system, visual player race changes in character creation, and many other fixes and improvements.
