Huge AAA 3D Asset Giveaway All Engines and 3D Applications!

The O3DE Game Engine Takes a MASSIVE Leap Forward Gamefromscratch 2024-10-10 | Normally I dread new O3DE releases. It generally means 12-24 hours of me fighting with the build system, the installer and the project to even get a demo up and running. With the release of O3DE 24.09, all of that is a thing of the past. This release is the biggest step forward of this open source AAA game engine, based off Lumberyard and CryEngine before that, and is the closest to being ready for prime time the engine has ever been.Key Linksgamefromscratch.com/o3de-24-09-released-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------*Support* : patreon.com/gamefromscratch*GameDev News* : gamefromscratch.com*GameDev Tutorials* : devga.me*Discord* : discord.com/invite/R7tUVbD*Twitter* : twitter.com/gamefromscratch-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
That Game Engine Fork... Gamefromscratch 2024-10-09 | Somewhat recently a very high profile open source game framework was forked. At the time I didn't think it was right to cover it, but now I think enough time and effort has passed that it makes sense. Additionally in this video we take a brief look at the history of forked game engines. Why they forked and if/how they succeeded. I also talk a bit about the criteria for coverage on this channel when a project is forked.
The Best Frameworks For Game Development Gamefromscratch 2024-10-08 | Let me start this by saying, there are no "best" game development frameworks. The value and use of a framework varies massively from project to project and developer to developer. That said, according to YouTube "Best Game Development Framework" is one of the most common questions and it's not being answered. So today we are going to look at "some of the best" or at least, some of the most popular game development frameworks out there. We will look at both 2D and 3D and for a variety of programming languages. This video does not discuss game engines, such as Unity, Unreal, Godot, Flax or Defold.

Raylib Easiest C/C++ Game Framework Now Even Better For Beginners! Gamefromscratch 2024-09-26 | I have long been a fan of the open source free RayLib game development framework. With bindings for just about every programming language ever, tons of examples and support for most major platforms, Raylib is a versatile toolkit for building games using code. What has always shined about RayLib though is just how easy it is to get started.Just download the installer, open Notepad++, load a C file and press F6. Done. But eventually you want to move beyond Notepad++ and the preconfigured C++ environment and that has always been a challenge. To make this migration easier for beginners though, Raylib have introduced the Raylib Project Creator, which can create Visual Studio Code, Visual Studio 2022 or command line build environments from you simple C source code.Key Links gamefromscratch.com/raylib-project-creator-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------*Support* : patreon.com/gamefromscratch*GameDev News* : gamefromscratch.com*GameDev Tutorials* : devga.me*Discord* : discord.com/invite/R7tUVbD*Twitter* : twitter.com/gamefromscratch-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

DOOM Recreated Entirely By AI - Google GameNGen - The Future of GameDev or Just More AI Hype? Gamefromscratch 2024-08-29 | A group from Google Research + Tel Aviv University just released details of GameNGen. In addition to being an incredibly clever name, this is an AI project of implementing DOOM (1993) without a game engine. Running entirely on a neural network and implemented with a custom version of Stable Diffussion, it's playable at 20FPS+. Are we seeing a possible future of game development here... more AI hype, or somewhere in the middle?Linksgamefromscratch.com/google-gamengen-recreating-doom-entirely-with-ai-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------*Support* : patreon.com/gamefromscratch*GameDev News* : gamefromscratch.com*GameDev Tutorials* : devga.me*Discord* : discord.com/invite/R7tUVbD*Twitter* : twitter.com/gamefromscratch-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Mono is Dead. Long live... Wine? Gamefromscratch 2024-08-28 | Mono, the technology that enabled C# and the .NET runtime to run on platforms such as Linux, Mac, iOS and Android is dead. Well, Microsoft's stewardship of it is dead. Instead the torch is being passed to WineHQ, the makers of the popular open source Windows to Linux compatibility layer Wine.The Mono project has been of massive importance to the world of game development. Basically if its a game engine that supports C# and runs on non-Windows platform, it most liked *used* Wine. These days though, .NET itself is cross platform, making continuation of the Mono project a lot less important.Linksgamefromscratch.com/mono-is-dead-love-live-wine-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------*Support* : patreon.com/gamefromscratch*GameDev News* : gamefromscratch.com*GameDev Tutorials* : devga.me*Discord* : discord.com/invite/R7tUVbD*Twitter* : twitter.com/gamefromscratch-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

SDF The Future of 3D Modelling? Gamefromscratch 2024-08-13 | SDF, or Signed Distance Fields/Functions is a computer graphics algorithm that is rising in popularity. Used initially by Valve for rendering Fonts and more recently in the Godot game engine for calculating global illumination (SDFGI).
