Drag[en]gine

The Drag[en]gine is a free software game engine focusing on developing games faster, more modular and stable with true -1 day portability support.

You do NOT need source code nor compiling to develop games. You just need the engine and the IGDE. For those interested in the source files find the repository on the website above.

The Drag[en]gine Game Engine is dual licensed under L-GPL and GPL. This affects only game engine modules, launchers and IGDE editors. Game projects do not link against the game engine and are not affected by the license. In short: By using Drag[en]gine you do not have to worry about licensing at all.

The Drag[en]gine uses a different design principle than other game engines to work faster and easier.

The game engine is fully file system based. There is no importing, reimporting nor other time consuming and error prone processes. Just copy your files into the project directory and get going.

The game engine follows the Unix philosophy of working together with specialized software instead of trying to duplicate functionality. For this reason the IDE is used only for Drag[en]gine specific file editing.

Games are distributed as *.delga files. This fully decouples games from the game engine allowing distributables to work on all future systems with 0 effort (-1 day portability).

For information about developing with Drag[en]gine see the Wiki linked on the website above or drop by the discord channel.
