Construder - A Minecraft-inspired OpenGL game in Perl

Check out fellow voxel game Ace of Spades[1], Windows and works great on Linux with WINE. It's a FPS with beta 0.54 out this week. Really fun and interesting maps. You build just like in Minecraft, but also fight for to find and return opposing team's intel to your base (basically CTF). Customizable maps, sniper-rifle scopes and more. Also, it's free.

If you follow the links to the authors website for Construder (http://ue.o---o.eu/) then you may see the interesting interview on Yet Another Perl Gamer Hacker blog (http://yapgh.blogspot.com/2011/07/perl-gamedev-interview-wit...) where the author describes how the game was developed.

I don't know why, those unlit caves have some eerie feeling to them (e.g 3:15 to 3:40). They look really nice. I suppose they're randomized but they really look organic/mineral/geological in their shape. There's a reminiscent feeling of Parallax's Descent to it.

I'm really enjoying how Minecraft is inspiring a lot of people to try out new games. Good one ya.

Love the old digital tracked music!
