Version 0.39 released.

I wonder if they eventually could move through the rest of Besthesda's games.. Oblivion, Fallout 3, Fallout NV, Skyrim etc.

[Doublezero]

They could. I'm just excited about the ability to create our own games with the engine.

[ritualclarity]

I imagine once it is stable and fully functional it could be spread to other gamebro type games like I mentioned :). and you stated they could and it should be easy enough to add a more "universal" script extender. More of a level playing field. I checked the page and it appears that it is set up to find the MW Data folder. If that is the case then it could also do that with other games supported along with Universal script extender you could have your character survive (as a vampire from MW through Skyrim ;). Moving from one game through the rest. Much like TTW could. Open source could also mean that it is possible that it could even be set up for 32/64 bit support as well. (which would cover Fallout 4 and other future TES games as well).

A demonstration of OpenMW running on a SSD drive.

Wait, this is a new engine that has Morrowind completely open? As in no loading cells?

[Doublezero]

It still uses cells, it just runs so well on a SSD that you never see a loading screen.

[ritualclarity]

I am sure that the loading screen would be very minimum even on a standard hard drive with the results you have shown here.

I put it on the back-burner until I finish other projects. It's a shame. I have a ton of ideas for it but little time.

I follow this youtuber and found this video.

Not an OpenMW video, but a likely preview of what it will be like when it takes off. Who needs Bethesda after that?

I haven't heard of any stability issues with the game. I was hoping to play it myself, but I don't have the time right now.

[ritualclarity]

Is it ready for mainstream?

I'd like to play it but my new computer shit the bed. Just over a year old. Gonna be a hot minute before I can fix it.
