If free indie games are not interesting enough for you, they are about to get a whole lot crazier. Havok has announced that they will make their physics and animation engine, found in many AAA games, available to non-commercial developers for free. If you have a Mac, however, you are left out in the cold. The PC tools will be the only tool set available for free. Hopefully this move will foster more creativity in the gaming industry.

Havok has also unveiled two new software packages, Havok Cloth and Havok Destructions. These products will provided developers with a better means to control interactive cloth and destructible objects. While the main engine will be free, you can expect these to cost an arm and a leg.
