About Kemena3D

Kemena3D was born from frustration with licensing controversies and the complexity of bloated game engines that hinder indie developers from building their dream games. Its core philosophy is to strike a balance between ease of use and robust functionality.

  • Come with a C++ library as well as an editor, pick the one you need
  • Currently running OpenGL, other renderer will be added in the future
  • Dependencies such as SDL, Assimp, GLM, STB, GLEW, etc.
  • Class-based engine architecture with AngelScript support
  • Focus on engine development only, no politics or activism allowed
  • Dear imgui included in the SDK and editor
  • Flexible material system with built-in and custom shader support
  • World, material and prefab are saved in custom JSON/BSON formats
  • Currently a one man project, would love to get more people to join
  • Freely available on Github
