Hello SunBurn community!

We're very excited to announce we've shipped the official gold release of SunBurn Game Engine 2.0!

The release is version 2.0.18.E, which we posted as a feature complete Release Candidate a few weeks back.  Since then it's proven to be very solid and is now our official gold release!

Framework Edition is Back!

As promised the official SunBurn 2.0 release includes the fully updated and still free SunBurn Framework edition. :)

Of course the new Framework Edition now includes many of SunBurn Game Engine's latest features, like:

• Dynamic lighting and shadows
• Physics system
• Audio system
• Character controller
• Full support for sgMotion and the sgMotion plugins
• Access to the Dojo, WinForm, and Custom Physics examples

And did we mention it's still FREE?  How awesome is that? :)

What's Next?

With the gold release of SunBurn 2.0 out, you can imagine we already have some amazing plans for SunBurn 2.1 (free upgrade, as always!) - which we'll start talking about very soon. ;)

Not to worry though!  We're still posting service updates and fixes to SunBurn 2.0, its examples, plugins, and more.  So if you find any bugs please let us know!

We also want to thank the SunBurn community for your awesome support, feedback, testing, and creativity during the SunBurn 2.0 early adopter.  You've helped make this release awesome!

If you have any questions or comments let us know!
