Apricot Team Selected For Fully Open Source 3D Game 214
crush writes "The Linux Game Tome notes that the final team to produce a fully Open Source 3D game using the CrystalSpace engine and Blender has been chosen. The project (known as Apricot) aims to produce a cross-platform, 3D game with completely Free (CCA) graphics, music and code. An important side-effect of the project is to improve open source tools for the professional game development industry."
I look forward to more 3D games on my desktop, even if this one won't be the first. (And where is the open-source bus-driving counterpart to the under-rated FlightGear?)

Great fan of FlightGear myself (Score:5, Funny)
The airports could become hubs into the cities. FlightGear has great potential to become a parallel earth so why not start populating it?

I don't know; it'd be easy to say that open source != free, but that'd be both glib, redundant and not answering the question I guess.ething or other?
