Fruit, which was released an year ago, is impressive. Bright disappoints me, I think this engine is top 3 material.

Bright 0.3d is much more impressive, but remains private.
Regardless, Bright 0.3a has had a poor tournament so far.

I usually get Bright betas for my tournaments, I forgot to ask for and get this 0.3d version, maybe I have been lazy, I should find time to organize more Division type tourneys.
