Sounds promising.

I've started to work on a small game company. Nowadays they were looking for an engine for the next project. Their main criteria was a good level design tool, as far as I can notice it is a must for a professional engine. What do you plan about design tools.

Thanks guys, I'm counting on community development on steering the project to its goals. :) Hopefully we'll have more out there in the next month or two.

Josh,

I wish you good luck in this new challenge and will keep an eye on it.

I'm also very curious about the new ideas in terms of architecture, focus and features.

After you release more information on all this stuff I'll let you know in what areas I can contribute to its success.

Interesting, especially the reference to OSGi. Are you saying you'd base the 3D engine on a set of bundles that run in a framework? Or rather, on a higher, more abstract level, are you looking for a similar component model?

I've been working on my own 2D engine, a sort of virtual console as I call it, with OSGi as the

I have long waited for this! Thank you so much for starting this. Hopefully one day I'll be able to contribute as well. Best wishes.

Sounds pretty cool! Can't wait to see what will be going on codewise! Good luck and....uh, a lot lot energy for this great quest!

Hi Josh, As I have said before we at Gamalocus Studios also see the need for this move - and will back you in this.

We look forward to hearing more about the development of Ardor3D and let us know where we can help.

I am not saying that Josh will start Ardor3D out this way - but jMonkeyEngine is distributed under the BSD license. Nothing is in the way of branching a new project

Josh first of all I wish you the best of luck. You and Rikard are very talented developers and are very capable of making "Ardor3D" a reality. With some of the mobile game companies breaking into the PC game market and the fact that most of their programmers have been working with Java, I think a "serious" Java game engine is needed. But it is surprising that you are going to start brand new.
