So if freedom is important, I guess you'd have to compare O3DE to Godot. I don't know much about these game engines. O3DE is marketed as being for AAA cinematic games, supported by large corporations, and is apparently a way for Amazon to sell AWS services, while Godot seems to be more indie and community driven.<br></div><div><br></div><div>On Tue, Oct 12, 2021, at 6:04 PM, Charles M wrote:<br></div><blockquote type="cite" id="qt" style=""><div dir="auto"><div>I haven't done much with it, but I've briefly looked at Unity under Xubuntu.

Amazon has rebranded Lumberyard as Open 3D Engine (O3DE) and contributed it to the Open 3D Foundation. So I guess the bulk of the work for the first release of O3DE is porting Lumberyard to Linux. The source code on github is a developer preview that requires Windows (not cross platform), but hey it isn't released yet.<br></div><div><br></div><div>Doug Moen.<br></div><div><div><br></div></div><div><br></div><div>On Mon, Oct 11, 2021, at 10:34 PM, Ron Singh wrote:<br></div><blockquote type="cite" id="qt-m_8374351015578055962qt"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div style="font-family:tahoma, sans-serif;">My previous attempt to send this was caca -- Paul set me straight, here's the url instead:<br></div><div style="font-family:tahoma, sans-serif;"><br></div><div style="font-family:tahoma, sans-serif;"><a href="https://lunduke.substack.com/p/the-linux-foundations-3d-game-engine" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer">https://lunduke.substack.com/p/the-linux-foundations-3d-game-engine</a><br></div><div><br></div><div><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div><span><span style=""><span class="font" style="font-family:tahoma, sans-serif;">R</span></span></span>on S.<br></div></div></div></div></div></div></div><div><blockquote style="margin-top:0px;margin-right:0px;margin-bottom:0px;margin-left:0.8ex;border-left-color:rgb(204, 204, 204);border-left-style:solid;border-left-width:1px;padding-left:1ex;"><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div><div style="font-kerning:auto;"><table role="presentation" width="100%" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" border="0"><tbody><tr><td><br></td><td width="550"><br></td><td><br></td></tr><tr><td><br></td><td width="550" align="left"><br></td><td><br></td></tr></tbody></table><div><img alt="" src="https://email.mg2.substack.com/o/eJwtkE2ShCAMhU8zLC1Dhx8XnIVCiDalgoUwU95-aGd2qeR7eXnxrtKay23OfFXWLio2BoOTVEJyzuhwcbcrJSodDNZVA_L1mhQiAo6KdTaAFprFyy6FHt7U0oidbd6jdzXm9KyUHKVkb8NH6sU8A2ophVgWVAsKiYuGEBbown6JdS1ESp4MfVO5cyIWu5IDjACgUIEe-CCkV5MOalTeTVzAkCeh762ULxyPlQ9Xm6_q_Db4fLBiSk59sJbcTqzk30_7cav3SSbRz7VTrVRY_XtHj2A7c7QU620puXmn8J_uI_vE4iiEVpJ1r5B7-mT2lkLb6Bckb3ON" width="1px" height="1px"><br></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></blockquote></div></div><div>_______________________________________________<br></div><div>kwlug-disc mailing list<br></div><div><a href="mailto:kwlug-disc@kwlug.org" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer">kwlug-disc@kwlug.org</a><br></div><div><a href="https://kwlug.org/mailman/listinfo/kwlug-disc_kwlug.org" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer">https://kwlug.org/mailman/listinfo/kwlug-disc_kwlug.org</a><br></div><div><br></div></blockquote><div><br></div></div><div>_______________________________________________<br></div><div> kwlug-disc mailing list<br></div><div> <a href="mailto:kwlug-disc@kwlug.org" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer">kwlug-disc@kwlug.org</a><br></div><div> <a href="https://kwlug.org/mailman/listinfo/kwlug-disc_kwlug.org" rel="noreferrer noreferrer" target="_blank">https://kwlug.org/mailman/listinfo/kwlug-disc_kwlug.org</a><br></div></blockquote></div><div>_______________________________________________<br></div><div>kwlug-disc mailing list<br></div><div><a href="mailto:kwlug-disc@kwlug.org">kwlug-disc@kwlug.org</a><br></div><div><a href="https://kwlug.org/mailman/listinfo/kwlug-disc_kwlug.org">https://kwlug.org/mailman/listinfo/kwlug-disc_kwlug.org</a><br></div><div><br></div></blockquote><div><br></div></body></html>
