Never heard of this before. How’s it compare to Godot?
It’s a fork/continuation of Lumberyard, itself a fork/continuation of CryEngine. That’s all I know
Lumberyard
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
Well since this is somehow (according to them) the ONLY OPEN SOURCE GAME ENGINE I guess this one wins? Jokes aside: I watched a video about this today where the main new feature (instance variants) just didn’t work. And that is apparently not the first time this happened. Quite embarrassing since this has (according) to the video financial backing of huge companies (Amazon etc).

Lars Gleim a Senior Research Engineer at Huawei who said that O3DE is “the only really open game engine out there, and it’s the only fully open source, royalty-free solution that exists at this time”.
Godot ?
That quote is so wrong and misleading its hillarious.
I genuinely completely lost interest just from that.
“the world’s first high-fidelity, real-time, open source 3D engine.”??
Really??
It has pretty wide industry support with backers including Amazon AWS, Epic Games, Huawei, Intel, Microsoft, oppo, Heroic Labs, Red Hat and plenty more. O3DE is based upon Amazon Lumberyard (itself based on CryEngine), which AWS contributed that’s now under the Linux Foundation banner.
Project seems to be slowly dying , look at it’s commits and contributors graphs when compared to godot.
