I know you are probably waiting for your Big Buck Bunny DVD or the internet release, but don't forget about the Apricot project, which is still running. If you want to take a look at some of the new tools, developed for Apricot, a few test builds are starting to appear!
Just visit graphicall.org and look for builds labeled Apricot. The list with features developed for the Apricot project, can be found here.
Have fun!

I am not feeling like downloading it now but it is very interesting. I wonder what other people are able to make with it.
this is great.
what's Projection painting?
I have visited http://www.graphicall.org but I could not found any link about Apricot.
@kkrawal, scroll donw and you can find windows:mingw_14904_apricot_branches or Blender-Apricot-14904 -- OSX 10.5+ for osx.
only linux version missing...
Linux version is still not available. It would be great (Remember the call for packagers) if someone could pack a working combination of crystal/CEL, b2cs and blender or publish some information on working combinations. It took me weeks to get at least the b2cs-ui working...the documentation of crystal is still far beyond the quality of the blender docs, without better documentation crystal won't be a real alternative to the blender game engine.
not that I am in game design but I think this is a very exciting progress.
At my graduate school they used Blitz 3d and I think this could be very good
for them to use instead of Blitz.
I am curious if they could also work on a web based 3d content system to
show those works - similar to 2nd life.
Why are the controls all screwed up?
Similarly to Bob I am curious about the projection painting. That would be such a great feature. Does anyone know if the builds on graphicall have it? I downloaded the latest mac osx one and couldn't find it. Anyone have better luck?
great, i m also looking into this, as I hate waiting for renders to finish, realtime 3d is the way to go. ;)
Hi
I updated OSXintel-build today, so projection-paintin´. maybe in now, but had no time to look further.
I left GE in for compares, in spite of one will use CS with this build...have fun...

Cheers...Jens
cant wait to get my hands on this build iam alittle nervous since iam so use to the original logic blocks and python *cries* but this will make blender a offical game editor/designer hopefully there will be some detailed (VERY VERY DETAILED) API's and manual (hint hint a team) since thats where the first BGE kinda failed at lol
well cant wait to see the game also~
(ill give another comment once i try it and try to create a game from scratch and one from past versions.
title is misleading
May i ask how?....it all seems quite straight forward to me :S
