Ive been curious to find that tech demo that was shown off at the GDC 2005 for Meqon 2.0 ( either demonstrating its use in duke nukem forever or just its own tech demo ) ive been searchin all over the place but cant find it. Does it even exist? If they wanna get people interested in the engine they oughta start showing that off to the public , all there other demos look out dated or at least can be done as well or better by havoc or other high profile physics engines.
