I’m a bit hesitant to cover this game, as media licensing is a complete mess, but well some might enjoy playing it and the source-code is there 😉 Here is a longish game-play video of Assault Cube Reloaded: You can follow the latest development and see the change-log here. P.S.: Funny to see some of the Red Eclipse artwork and Xonotic sounds (I think) reused, … Continue reading Assault Cube reloaded, version 2.5.8
