Toolset for developing 3D games and visual simulations.
The RealmForge GDK is a an open-source and cross-platform middleware written entirely in C# and designed for productivity and the creation of script and data-driven games. It includes a run-time development toolset (In-Game Editor) which integrates directly into the engine, allowing design, development, and modding within the game itself.
This engine’s graphics is powered by Axiom, the C# port of the OGRE shader-driven rendering engine, and support for other rendering engines is being developed as well. The component-oriented architecture allows for extension and includes the components needed to develop a game or simulation. This platform provides an extensible event-based model for communication and design. Scripting can be done with compiled speeds in any of the .NET languages ranging from C# and VB.NET to JavaScript and Python.
Components included:
- Physics (ODE, OPAL.NET)
- Audio (OpenAL, DirectSound)
- Rendered GUIs (CEGUI, OGRE Overlays)
- Custom serialization
- Networking (works with .NET Remoting)
- Input (DirectInput, SDL)
- Particle systems
- Asset management
- Scripting
