But it is interesting, regardless.

I'm not 100% sure it's real, since it just popped out of nowhere and there's no release yet or source code. He claims he's been working on it for some time, but why do people keep things like this secret? Seems the worst possible way to get good external motivation for a project.

Anyways at least one other forum member there claims he has played a build and that it is real, so I suppose that's something. I myself won't be certain until I have a build running on my computer, but that's just me.

I'll be watching it.

I wonder how he's dealing with floor triangulation and massive texture sizes.

After additional research I determined that texture sizes aren't an issue. They max out at 1024x1024, and they're all pow2 except UI items.

Sector triangulation is the tricky bit though. I'm not good enough at the mathemagics to do it, but I assume this guy is.

Yeah, he said he hasn't found anything that large.
