Every 2 months, I devote time specifically to implement the features you request here.

This way you have a direct influence over the work I'm doing. Some features may result in new CGE "core" feature, some of them may be in CGE Additional Components, so it's OK to even request something a bit out of scope of CGE -- as long as it's doable :)

Includes
  • All the features from the previous tier
  • Propose a game to implement, each month

About Michalis Kamburelis & Contributors

We're developing Castle Game Engine, an open-source cross-platform (desktop, mobile, consoles) game engine for 3D and 2D games.

Your donations fund actual work on the engine. Right now we finance the time of Andrzej Kilijański so he can work on new engine features.

Engine features include:

  • We support a lot of 3D and 2D formats (glTF, X3D, Spine JSON, sprite sheets...). You can export to them from almost any 3D or 2D authoring software.
  • We are portable to a lot of platforms - desktop (Windows, Linux, macOS...), mobile (Android, iOS), console (Nintendo Switch), Raspberry Pi.
  • We have a lot of cool graphic effects. Physically-based rendering, shadows, mirrors, bump mapping, shader effects, gamma correction...
  • We have a visual editor to manage your projects and design user interfaces and game layouts. Underneath a command-line build tool can be used to cross-compile and package the projects in batch mode.
  • We are using Object Pascal, a modern Pascal dialect, with classes, generics etc. We have a Modern Object Pascal Introduction for Programmers so you can learn everything you need. We allow using FPC or Delphi as a compiler, and pretty much anything (like Lazarus or Delphi or Visual Studio Code) as an IDE.
  • We are also making view3dscene, which is a viewer for all the model formats we support. It is perfectly usable on it's own, as a browser for interactive 3D worlds created in glTF, X3D and other formats.
Please support the development of the engine, so that I can implement more features and support even more platforms! Thank you!
Goals
$141.90 of $250 per month
We organize the first Castle Game Engine online conference + gamejam!

Upon reaching this goal, I will also do a little dance of joy with my cat!
