Open 3D Engine (O3DE) has a big new release out, which includes plenty of new features and fixes for game developers looking to use this free and open source game engine.
I was wandering what happened to it. I saw it at some game conference years ago. It was being promoted by Amazon as Unity alternative with better twitch integration. That was like 6 years ago and it looked solid (like you could actually build games in it, not just some early alpha) but I never heard about it since. So they abandoned and open source it? Interesting.
Yep, that’s my understanding. It seems to be the ideal future for abandoned projects like these. One can only wish XSI -and many others- had the same fate
It’s a fork/continuation of Lumberyard, itself a fork/continuation of CryEngine. That’s all I know
