[kwlug-disc] The Linux Foundation's 3D Game engine... still doesn't support Linux

[Doug Moen]

Unity and Unreal aren't open source. 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.

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.
