I hope to release something in the summer when I have more time. I tried to develop a voxel engine because at the time that I took over the project, OpenGL was not 100% free on gNewSense. Now that it is, I realize that my voxel engine is slow, cumbersome, and extremely limited. Also, I'm not sure how to extend it. So I've been hacking on OpenGL for a bit and I think I should have something good soon. Even without hardware acceleration (which I don't have, since there are very few free 3D graphics drivers), OpenGL seems fine as long as the scene stays simple, and the point of this game is to be a simple, easily playable game that anyone can enjoy quickly so it seems like it will work fine, even on a system where Neverball or SuperTuxKart are not playable.
