Wow, this has improved so much since last time I played it, great to see!
This looks amazing, iam going have to try this game out
YAY RAGDOLLS you guys should make it somewhat similar to Garry's mod or at least a game mode like it or a mod.
I wonder when character models can be implemented more easily... Although i lack any experience in 3d modeling...
It could get compatibility with other 3d models and use their animations to set it right... But it depends on this engine...
It is md2, md3, and md5, (and .obj too technically :D), which are quake 2, quake 3, and quake 4/doom 3 format. Take care!

I love the progress in this WYSIWYG game engine, but the only problem is that whenever I run any Cube Game Engine game (Cube and Cube 2) it runs at an extremely low FPS (1 FPS!) even though my computer is above the system requirements for both and everything should be working in theory. Has anyone have/had this problem, and does anyone know how to fix it?
the only advice i can offer is install the graphics drivers, without more details, I can't help much more.
(such as graphics card, GFX driver version, cpu, etc)
