Cube 2 (Sauerbraten) Reviews and Details

Is Cube 2 (Sauerbraten) good?

Social recommendations and mentions

• Scaffold Level Editor

  I was always inspiring the level editor in Cube 2: Sauerbraten (http://sauerbraten.org). This seems like an alternative to BSP approach which was more popular at the time. But I think this game's octree-based solution has more potential than just the render and raycast logic implemented in the engine. You could potentially make the entire level fully destructible and keep it optimized at the same time. The level... - Source: Hacker News / 2 months ago

  This makes me want to make a Lego Sauerbraten map. Source: over 1 year ago

  Out of curiosity I landed at http://sauerbraten.org and was not disappointed by the video. - Source: Hacker News / over 1 year ago

• LÖVE: a framework to make 2D games in Lua

  The editors are basically immediately off limits for anyone who wants to mod the base game rapidly for their own enjoyment. A concept like http://sauerbraten.org/ is interesting, but seems to not have taken off for various reasons. Lesson learned I guess is that being able to customize is not everything. - Source: Hacker News / almost 2 years ago

• N-Space 2(?) progress update

  N-Space 2 will let you build on multiple levels of detail. Instead of a single size of cube, there is an adjustable "grid" which scales from 1/16 of a block to 2 blocks. This massively expands the possibilities for modelling. I was inspired by the Cube 2 engine, which has a similar approach to building on different levels of detail. Source: over 2 years ago

• [PC] [2000s] era shooter game where you could create a map for someone else to play?

  This might help, sounds like an unreal or quake game. Maybe Cube 2 Sauerbraten as well. Source: over 2 years ago

• Can someone explain Cube 2's 6-directional heightfield deformable cube octree

  I have only a passing familiarity with Cube 2:Sauerbraten but a quick bit of searching led me to this page:. Source: over 2 years ago

• 100,000 subscriber celebration – Ask the Godot contributors anything!

  I remain impressed by how fast iterating on levels is in Cube 2 engine games such as Sauerbraten, but an octree approach to level design also comes with its own limits. I don't think this approach to editing would be a good fit for Godot, but it's interesting nonetheless. Source: over 2 years ago

• Best Freeware/Open Source Lowend Games 2022 **Please add your favorites!**

  While not as populated as it used to be, I feel it's worth mentioning Sauerbraten. It's a neat open-source arena shooter that I put many hours into back in the day (like, 2012). Just launched it up recently and it's still fun! Source: over 2 years ago

• Not a 4090 but I got this for $900 brand new. Sorry I forgot to buckle it in the front seat before leaving…. My bad

• Ask HN: Favourite Open Source Game?

  Sauerbraten: http://sauerbraten.org/ But I do not play it anymore. I fear it would become too addictive again. - Source: Hacker News / about 3 years ago

• Ask HN: Favourite Open Source Game?

  Sauerbraten (previously known as Cube) was always a favourite of mine, with the added twist that the game itself was also the level editor, and different players could be in different "modes" in the same map - a group of people CTFing, while others deathmatched, and a couple of others were literally redrawing the map as they played. I see there's even a release of it that's not that old - I remember it from about... - Source: Hacker News / about 3 years ago

• [Help] My game crashes when I turn on fullscreen. No error codes are given

  Do you have issues with any other OpenGL apps in fullscreen? For example, can you run Sauerbraten in fullscreen? Source: about 3 years ago

• What games can the surface go 2 run?

  If you like fast paced FPS games like Quake, Cube 2: Sauerbraten is a really fun free game, that will run very good with maxed out settings. Just make sure you have a mouse :P. Source: about 3 years ago

• Monitor/Game Settings Question

  Setting the display to 144 hurts nothing, well the display may use more electricity but that is it, you are probably not gonna get over 60fps with a 1050 ti, you will probably not notice a difference in that game, but you can play sauerbraten and you will see the difference.

• whats that, you can get 144Hz? b*tch please... 165Hz superiority

  Just gonna assume be less demanding you mean sauerbraten. Source: over 3 years ago

• They’re a different breed

  Real talk, if anyone remembers a free FPS called Sauerbraten (Holy shit it updated last year) from 5-7 years ago, I was good at that game using the trackpad on my mom's old Mac laptop in highschool. Source: over 3 years ago

• Open Simulator

  It's not appealing enough then, and I think figuring out why might be an angle worth pursuing. "Setting up a bunch of ini files and NAT loopback" does sound like accidental complexity that could be eliminated. It's the kind of stuff I did when I was a kid, and I no longer have patience to bother with; I imagine that, for the younger generation of software developers, it's way beyond their comfort... - Source: Hacker News / over 3 years ago

• How many open-source games do you know?

  Sauerbraten. It's a Quake-like FPS with a subdividable multiplayer level editor based on cubes...basically Minecraft before Minecraft. Source: almost 4 years ago

• How many open-source games do you know?

  Most of id Software's games (Doom, Quake, Wolfenstein, etc...) are open source. But to be fair, they were open sourced after they had become last gen's tech. As far as open source from the get-go, there is Cube and Cube 2. Interestingly enough, the Cube engine allowed you to build block-based worlds since early 2000's, predating Dwarf Fortress and Minecraft. Source: almost 4 years ago
