SuperTuxKart 0.9 is released

Hi everyone :slight_smile:

SuperTuxKart is a go kart racing game featuring Tux and other open source software mascots. Today we are proud to announce we have released the new version 0.9, featuring our new rendering engine called Antarctica. Here is the poster (btw the poster was rendered with cycle)


Pictures weren’t enough to show the progress done. So our lead artist Samuncle did a trailer to present the new version

While the game doesn’t use the BGE all assets have been made in blender. We also use blender scripting system to export and build our maps to convert them into our format and we can even preview our models using the BGE.

Bonus for all blender fans
Suzanne, the mascot of blender is included as a playable character




If you want you can read the full article on our blog.

Have a nice race and thanks to all blender devs for their work because without this software we wouldn’t be able to do the game :slight_smile:

Looks quite cool! It is really nice. I like the style of game. Good luck, my rate is *****

Looks good, much improvement since the last release!
I would add - an improvement would be to align skid particles with the velocity of the kart, rather than the direction.

Well done!
