Vanda Engine is a free and open source 3D game engine for Windows. I'm developing this game engine for years to help the students and other enthusiast learn game engine programming and develop 3D games for free. While giant companies are building game engines with huge budget and a lot of manpower, I'm developing this free 3D game engine alone with no budget. I have published step by step tutorials about Vanda Engine, 3D tools, and COLLADA format: https://vanda3d.org/tutorials/ Please follow Vanda Engine on Facebook to be informed about what I'm doing: http://facebook.com/vandaengine Check out Vanda Engine website to see how Vanda Engine is getting work done: https://vanda3d.org/ It will be appreciated if you donate to this project so I can buy required software and books and hire people to produce free 2D and 3D assets and educational videos and tutorials for this game engine: https://vanda3d.org/donate/

You are cartographer for undiscovered worlds; your task is to explore and map all areas of the recently discovered strange dimension of Hangworld. In order to complete your task, you take control of GERALD. However, fuel is expensive and funding can only be supplied as long as progress is being made, so it is vital to explore new areas and recover jewels. Spindizzy is a remake of the 1986 classic computer game of the same name, originally developed by Paul Shirley. The remake features true 3D OpenGL graphics and runs on a custom-built engine called Isorealms. The Isorealms engine features a complete content creation toolkit for modifying and extending Spindizzy, as well as offering the opportunity to create entirely new projects from scratch. Isorealms content creation tools are aimed at users of all experiences, from those who simply want to build new worlds to those who want to take advantage of advanced features such as Lua scripting and custom asset importation.

PLEASE NOTE: Project development moved to Github! https://github.com/opentomb Here you can find ONLY nightly builds for Windows. OpenTomb is an engine that can play classic Tomb Raider 1 - 5 levels and custom TRLE levels. It is developed for fans and fun. Some code was taken from OpenRaider project and Quake Tenebrae project. Resource loading routines are taken from http://icculus.org/vt/vt/ project. It is developing in netbeans 7 + GCC TDM 4.9.2 Used libraries: SDL2, SDLimage with jpeg and png libs, vorbis (ogg support), OpenGL, OpenAL, freetype 2, LUA, BULLET. Youtube engine work example: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jf3JGm67oS0 I need some help in game behavior algorithms, level parsing, e.t.c. Needed for work: 1) Original Tomb Raider levels 2) Font .ttf 3) Config files (config.lua and autoexec.lua)

Frost Engine is an RTTRPG game engine.

The AlphaGenesis project aims to create both a high quality, strategy oriented, SNES style turn based RPG, and an engine for building top down perspective 2D games. I have been writing the engine in my spare time over the past few years. It currently contains a game client and map editor. It is mostly complete as an engine, but there are a few features I still plan to add. AlphaGenesis is being developed with the intention of being cross platform and easily extensible, so that people without much programming experience will be able to add content to games with little effort. I am pushing to get a playable demo out by the end of January 2014.

CorEngine is a work in progress, OpenGL graphics powered 3D game engine designed to help independent game developers with quick prototyping and game/virtual environment creation. The engine supports a standard set of features, like skeletal animation, post processing, Lua/C programming, physics powered by Bullet Physics, GUI and 2D/3D Audio.

An extremely scriptable high-performance game engine suitable for building large streaming games with realistic graphics/physics in a seamless mixture of environments with broad gameplay opportunities.

LASengine is a powerful game engine to create 2D point-and-click adventure games. It uses LUA as the scripting tool.

Longford is a 2D, Lua-based game engine for Windows. It has the following features: + Sprite hierarchy. Sprites drawn in order according to a display "tree" allowing grouping of complex drawings. + Frame update, keypress and (multi)touch events which propagate through the display tree. + Creation of Sprites including polygon Shapes and rectangular Bitmaps with transparency (import as PNG, JPG, GIF, BMP, TGA) + Creation of Textfields based on bitmap fonts. + Translation, rotation and scaling of sprites. + Box2D physics engine. + Play sound effects using WAV files and stream music using OGG files. + Automatic tweening system + Texture atlases so that many Bitmaps can be "cut out" of a single larger picture file. + Supports user-written shaders for advanced graphic effects. + Automatic resolution scaling. + Supports OpenGL or DirectX backend

The project is a fork of Glest Advanced Engine for the purposes of adding significant gameplay options, graphics upgrades and GUI upgrades in order to create an engine capable of playing a series of 7 games I wish to create. The 7 games are all based on this IP: Children of the Thousand Suns: The Unaligned Mandate Each game combines a few different genres from this list and others: RTS, TBS, RPG, Sim, City Building, Breeding, Management You can also make mods of various kinds with support for all the features my own games use and possibly more. It's open source and free obviously. Most modding is done through XML files quite similar to the ones for other Glest derivatives. There may be some good scripting support as well. Currently for fun I am creating a Majesty like to play with since Majesty 2 sucks and Majesty one doesn't support easy modding. Changed the homepage to the GitHub since the repository here is being difficult and thus doesn't contain the source.

A Cross Platform 2d Rpg Game Engine for mobile and Console.

ReTech Game Engine is a 2D game engine for creating platform, top-down and isometric games. It uses several external libraries (SFML, Box2D, etc). Main goal - Simple for Designer, Powerful for Programmer. Planned MapEditor and ResourceEditor tools.
