jMonkeyEngine

jMonkeyEngine

jMonkeyEngine is a 3D game engine for adventurous Java developers. It’s open source, cross platform and cutting edge. And it is all beautifully documented. The 3.0 branch is the latest stable version of the jMonkeyEngine 3 SDK, a complete game development suite. We'll be frequently submitting stable 3.0.x updates until the major 3.1 version arrives in Q4 2014.

The engine is used by several commercial game studios and computer-science courses. Here's a taste:

• jME powered games on IndieDB
• Maker's Tale
• Boardtastic 2
• Copod
• Attack of the Gelatinous Blob
• Chaos
• Mythruna
• PirateHell
• 3089 (on steam)
• 3079 (on steam)

Getting started

Note: The master branch on GitHub is a development version of the engine and is NOT MEANT TO BE USED IN PRODUCTION, it will break constantly during development of the stable jME versions!
