A 3.x [Godot Engine](https://godotengine.org) fork where I hack and slash and cause mayhem and destruction to all things good and godot.
|
|
|
|
Similar idea going from godot 3.x to godot 4.x, but taken in a completely different direction.
|
|
|
|
Currently this engine is a weird amalgamation of godot 3.x, 4.x, and lots of custom features.
|
|
|
|
Most of the design decisions went into making everything simple for people that knows (or wants to know) what is going on.
|
|
|
|
It contains all of my currently in use engine modules.
|
|
|
|
See the [changelog](https://github.com/Relintai/pandemonium_engine/blob/master/CHANGELOG.md) for a more comprehensive list of changes.

## 2D and 3D cross-platform game engine
|
|
|
|
Pandemonium Engine is a feature-packed, cross-platform game engine to create 2D and 3D games from a unified interface.
|
|
It provides a comprehensive set of common tools, so that users can focus on making games
|
|
without having to reinvent the wheel. Games can be exported with one click to a
|
|
number of platforms, including the major desktop platforms (Linux, macOS,
|
|
Windows), mobile platforms (Android, iOS), as well as Web-based platforms
|
|
(HTML5) and [consoles](https://github.com/Relintai/pandemonium_engine_docs/blob/master/03_usage/13_platform/01_consoles.md).
|
|
|
|
## Free, open source and community-driven
|
|
|
|
Pandemonium is completely free and open source under the very permissive
|
|
[MIT license](https://github.com/Relintai/pandemonium_engine/blob/master/LICENSE.txt).
|
|
No strings attached, no royalties, nothing. The users' games are theirs, down
|
|
to the last line of engine code.
|
|
|
|
Pandemonium's development is fully independent and
|
|
community-driven, empowering users to help shape their engine to match their
|
|
expectations. It is supported by the [Software Freedom Conservancy](https://sfconservancy.org/)
|
|
not-for-profit.
|
|
|
|
### Godot
|
|
|
|
Before being open sourced in [February 2014](https://github.com/godotengine/godot/commit/0b806ee0fc9097fa7bda7ac0109191c9c5e0a1ac),
|
|
Godot had been developed by [Juan Linietsky](https://github.com/reduz) and
|
|
[Ariel Manzur](https://github.com/punto-) (both still maintaining the project) for several
|
|
years as an in-house engine, used to publish several work-for-hire titles.
|
|
|
|
### Pandemonium
|
|
|
|
The Godot engine developers decided to remove the GLES2 backend in Godot 4.x so they can pursue the more modern graphics API-s.
|
|
|
|
After quite a while of thinking and experimentation however I decided that I still need (and want) the GLES2 renderer for my games,
|
|
I also needed some of the new features from godot 4.x.
|
|
|
|
So in early 2022 I decided that I'll fork godot 3.x, and backport anything that I
|
|
need for my games / projects. While here I also used the opportunity to modularize the engine more,
|
|
and fix issues I had with it. I also added my engine modules to it by default, and
|
|
ended up writing lots of custom things.
|
|
|
|
## Getting the engine

|
### Binary downloads
|
|
|
|
You can download binaries from the github actions tab [[here]](https://github.com/Relintai/pandemonium_engine/actions),
|
|
or the releases tab [[here]](https://github.com/Relintai/pandemonium_engine/releases).
|
|
|
|
### Compiling from source
|
|
|
|
[See the official docs](https://github.com/Relintai/pandemonium_engine_docs/tree/master/05_engine_development/01_compiling)
|
|
for compilation instructions for every supported platform.
|
|
|
|
## Documentation and demos
|
|
|
|
The documentation is available [[Here]](https://github.com/Relintai/pandemonium_engine_docs).
|
|
|
|
The class docs are accessible from the editor.
|
|
|
|
You can also look at the official pandemonium demos in their own [GitHub repository](https://github.com/Relintai/pandemonium_demo_projects).
|
|
|
|
You can also look at the official 3.x Godot documentation, it will work mostly (sometimes with trivial modifications).
|
|
It is hosted on [ReadTheDocs](https://docs.godotengine.org), and is maintained by the
|
|
Godot community in its own [GitHub repository](https://github.com/godotengine/godot-docs).
|
|
|
|
It's also worth looking at official godot 3.x resources, like this [awesome Godot list](https://github.com/godotengine/awesome-godot),
|
|
and there are also a number of other [godot learning resources](https://docs.godotengine.org/en/latest/community/tutorials.html)
|
|
provided by the community, such as text and video tutorials, demos, etc.
