Open-source re-implementation of The Elder Scrolls: Arena.
The highlight of this release is weather effects. It also redesigns the internal implementation of the UI and input systems, which are big steps towards supporting alternative user interfaces and key rebinding.

This release focuses on improving how the game world is simulated in order to more closely match the original game. There is now a set of active chunks that are added and removed as the player moves around. Textures are now loaded into a renderer-independent format before being passed to engine systems that need them, and with the addition of texture asset references, textures are only loaded from the hard drive once they are needed (and are kept in memory afterwards). Future support for formats like PNG should also be easier to add now.
