Over three years in development FPSCreator sets a new benchmark in the game creation market by providing an easy-to-use yet highly flexible editing environment. As its name implies this is a tool for creating action-packed FPS games with no programming or 3D modelling knowledge required.

Using an intuitive and visual Windows interface you literally paint your game world into the scene. A vast range of 3D elements are included allowing you to paint hallways, corridors, gantries, walls, doors, access tunnels, ceilings, lifts, transporters, stairs and more. Segments intelligently attach themselves to each other - paint two corridor pieces side-by-side and they'll snap together seamlessly. Switch to 3D mode and you drop in on your scene for pixel perfect placement of 3D entities. Place a light-switch on the wall and it'll intelligently control the dynamic lighting in the room.

Key Features:

* Create First Person Shooter games quickly and easily
* Use intelligent building blocks to create game levels
* No programming necessary
* Open design allows for endless possibilities
* Import your own media (sounds, 3D models, textures, shaders)
* One click and FPS Creator builds you a final stand alone exe file
* 3D Engine supporting Direct X9.0c
* Virtually every single aspect of the game is controlled via script files you can edit
* 90+ page manual, fully searchable and printer ready in PDF format

Hundreds of 3D Objects included

We appreciate that not everyone has the skill to create their own 3D content before starting to build a game - which is why FPS Creator comes with two theme packs: Sci-fi and World War 2.

There are over 300 segment building blocks included, over 500 entity objects (such as desk lamps, health packs, crates), 62 different fully animated enemies, 36 weapons and 66 different AI scripts to control them all.

The manual also includes guides on importing your own media to create prefabs, weapons, segments and entities. You don't have to use the 3D objects we have given you, adding your own is quick and easy. Changing the textures the models use is just as painless, so you could take one of the supplied barrel models and re-texture it to create any number of them all in your own style.
More Features

* Fully Windows based editing environment
* Complete Physics System under your control
* Internet and LAN Death Match style games supported
* Classic FPS game experience
* Create multi-level games (up to 50 levels)
* Visual Waypoint editing, enemies can follow multiple waypoints
* Built-in game optimisation profiler analyses frame rates, poly counts and more
* Easy editing of game element's settings
* Game elements include, weapons, ammo, enemies, picks ups, lifts, teleports, ladders, trigger points
* Game menu editing facilities
* Pick up weapons from dead enemies
* Optional Pixel shader support
* AI scripting language for total freedom to customise
* Set texture quality and effect levels
* Cube mapping effects
* Automatic 3D Universe construction
* PVS - Portal visibility system (for fast rendering of scenes)
* Automatic Light Mapping (quick and full)
* Small game files are easily swapped
* Map segments "click together" - you can literally draw your levels
* Dynamic and Static lights illuminate your game
* Animated decals for fire, smoke, water, blood splats, etc
* Keyboard short-cuts to most popular commands for fast development
* Players can hold up to 9 different weapons at once
* Guns include optional sniper zoom mode
* Crouch, Run, Lean left / right, Jump and full mouse-look available

trueSpace7.6 is a powerful tool for presentation, design, film/video animation, games and with its real time collaboration it is also suited for content creation for distance learning and emerging 3D social networks.

An entirely re-written X format exporter lets you save your trueSpace creations to load into game engines such as XNA to develop games for Windows or the Xbox 360.

Also included is an export to Virtual Earth which will let you place your 3D creations straight into Virtual Earth from trueSpace. Now you can place whatever you make into real world locations in Virtual Earth and share them with others!

trueSpace also supports import from a wide variety of formats, letting you take existing objects and use them in Virtual Earth.

Unlike traditional CAD software or film/video 3D authoring tools, trueSpace uses an award winning real-time direct manipulation interface where the controls themselves reside in the 3D space, so that using them is similar to manipulating objects in the real world.

Direct manipulation offers an unprecedented ease of use which artists love because it allows them to quickly master the comprehensive set of modeling, surfacing, lighting, rendering and animation tools which trueSpace7 provides.

It's more than just a benefit while learning the software. Once mastered, this direct manipulation translates into much shorter production times and lower costs for the projects. You can use trueSpace in all stages of production, starting with conceptual design and ending with commercial quality photorealistic or stylized illustrations and animations. trueSpace allows you to output to any print or video media, as well as to 3D rapid prototyping machines.

trueSpace shines when it comes to the range of expression available right at your fingertips. You can go from that hard-edged, ultra-realistic techno style all the way to a dreamy artistic style, like these two images below.

The Caligari web site also provides a vibrant hub for an online community that provides trueSpace users with lively discussion forums and professional advice and support from peers. With trueSpace7, this support is being revolutionized with the addition of real-time 3D collaborative forums, unmatched in any other 3D authoring tool

trueSpace7.6 is now free, a simple registration at the author site is required to download the software.

The PC Version should be available very soon.

Bos Wars is a futuristic real time strategy game (RTS). In a RTS game, the player has to combat his enemies while developing his war economy. Everything runs in real-time, as opposed to turn-based games where the player always has to wait for his turn. The trick is to balance the effort put into building his economy and building an army to defend and attack the enemies.

Bos Wars has a dynamic rate based economy. Energy is produced by power plants and magma gets pumped from hot spots. Buildings and mobile units are also built at a continuous rate. Control of larger parts of the map creates the potential to increase your economy throughput. Holding key points like roads and passages allow for different strategies.

It is possible to play against human opponents over LAN, internet, or against the computer. Bos Wars successfully runs under Linux, MS Windows, BSD, and Mac OS X.

Bos Wars aims to create a completely original and fun open source RTS game.

Hephaestus is a freeware computer role-playing game construction kit (often called an "RPG maker"). A map editor is included, and scripting is done in the Java programming language. Hephaestus is written in Java, and therefore runs on every platform.

You've wanted to make your own computer role-playing game all your life. Hephaestus 2 makes it easier than ever to make any adventure you can imagine. Use your own art and sounds, or use the standard libraries. Make "static" maps with the map editor, or create your maps entirely with code - even making mazes and dungeons that are different every time you play. There's never been a better time to start writing your own CRPG!

Hephaestus 2 now includes the post-holocaust horror adventure, Umbra! After the Great Old Ones return to reclaim the Earth, the few survivors cower in towns hidden in the wilderness, or have given themselves over to madness and worship of inhuman gods. You start out alone and helpless, but can rise to strike back, and perhaps return Earth to humanity!

Being in Java this works under linux and mac too.

DX Studio is a complete integrated development environment for creating interactive 3D graphics. The system comprises of both a real-time 3D engine and a suite of editing tools, and is the first product to offer a complete range of tools in a single IDE. The system includes both 2D & 3D layout editors, and allows full JavaScript control of everything from changing the background to editing meshes in real-time. You can also command and control your documents from outside of the player using the powerful ActiveX/COM interface. Using DX Studio you can build complete real-time interactive applications, simulations or games, for standalone use or for embedding in other Microsoft Office/Visual Studio applications.
The engine behind DX Studio uses DirectX 9.0c to make the most of 3D graphics hardware acceleration, and includes support for the latest pixel and vertex shader effects found on the more powerful 3D graphics cards.
The playback engine in both EXE and ActiveX DLL forms can be redistributed without any further royalties.

DX Studio is available in Freeware , Standard and Professional editions.

Maplet is now *free*!
Maplet is an extremely easy to use modelling tool, designed to make creating 'indoor' style scenery as painless as possible.
Maplet is a 'Constructive Solid Geometry' based modeller. This means that instead of modelling with polygons, vertices and so on, all modelling is performed with solid 'primitives'. Using operations such as 'carve' and 'fill', solid primitives are combined together to create models.
This modeling approach allows you to create highly detailed models very rapidly. It also guarantees the production of geometrically 'correct' models which is very important for precise collision detection and optimal rendering.
Maplet features a WYSIWYG (what you see is what you get) editor:
All editing is performed in full 3D, using a 'reference plane' which can easily be moved up or down.
Maplet also features a 'lightmapper'. This tool generates special lightmap textures based on lights placed within the scene, creating realistic light and shadow effects.
Maplet can export either .B3D or .X format models. Unfortunately, the .X format does not support features required for lightmapping, so lightmaps can only be produced for .B3D models.

Paradox Interactive today announced a unique agreement with leading PC download portal GamersGate to release its "Europa" engine to the gaming community worldwide. The "Europa" engine has been the basis of many award-winning games like the Hearts of Iron series and Europa Universalis II and has been the focus of significant financial investments over the years.

In an unprecedented deal, GamersGate will make room for these indie-developed products on the digital distribution platform and offer each team or individual the same financial deal given to established publishers on the platform.

"Through GamersGate, creative gamers worldwide will be given access to a development tool that will allow them to fulfill their game developer ambitions while getting access to a global distribution network without the costs and risks that are normally involved in game development and distribution, said CEO of Paradox Interactive Theodore Bergquist.

While Paradox Interactive plans to set a few minimum criteria, anyone interested will get a shot at using the technique to develop games and then sell them on GamersGate.

"This initiative is a way for us to give back to the gaming community by facilitating for game developers to turn their hobbies into lucrative projects, continued Mr Bergquist.

A source code to use with visual studio 2008(a trial of this compiler from microsoft is available to download).
There is a mod contest on this that ends on 14 april 2008.
Full source code and art for the games are freely provided for programmers to 'mod' the results and win prizes.

By my point of view this is a good chance to learn something on the 2D development of the mobile devices too.

This is a program who can decompile the games made with beautiful tool named Gamemaker. It converts an .exe in an editable file, good or bad? Well the good point is that people can learn from others, or you can recover lost source code, the bad side is that some1 could 'steal' your work. Didn 't tried this program myself so i can 't say if it really works, use this at your own risk.

Please note this program is not hosted here.

Open collection of libraries and utilities for addressing common challenges in game development.

Nocturnal is not a game engine. The libraries provided here are potentially very useful for developing a game engine, but we want to avoid the 'all things to all people' that so often results in overly complex and/or under-performing monolithic engines. Instead, we want to provide a useful toolbox for the professional game developer.

There are a lot of common problems that are presented during game development. These problems are often solved separately at game studios across the industry. Sometimes the same people end up writing the same solution at several companies throughout their career. This is a waste of resources that can be avoided by openly sharing useful foundation code and techniques across company boundaries. We feel that this kind of sharing will allow studios to focus more on what sets their games apart and less on the basic building blocks necessary to create a modern game. It is our hope that this will result in studios making better games in less time, and hence benefit the industry as a whole.

Boost provides free peer-reviewed portable C++ source libraries.

We emphasize libraries that work well with the C++ Standard Library. Boost libraries are intended to be widely useful, and usable across a broad spectrum of applications. The Boost license encourages both commercial and non-commercial use.

We aim to establish "existing practice" and provide reference implementations so that Boost libraries are suitable for eventual standardization. Ten Boost libraries are already included in the C++ Standards Committee's Library Technical Report ( TR1) as a step toward becoming part of a future C++ Standard. More Boost libraries are proposed for the upcoming TR2.

Getting started: Boost works on almost any modern operating system, including UNIX and Windows variants. Follow the Getting Started Guide to download and install Boost. Popular Linux and Unix distributions such as Fedora, Debian, and NetBSD include pre-built Boost packages. Boost may also already be available on your organization's internal web server.

Adventure Game Studio (AGS for short) allows you to create your own point-and-click adventure games, similar to the early 90's Sierra and Lucasarts adventures. It consists of an easy-to-use development environment, and run-time engine. The game interface is fully customizable, although the classic Sierra interface is supported by default. You need no programming experience to make a game using AGS - setting most game options is just a matter of point-and-click (though scripting is of course available if you prefer). AGS manages most of the game so that you don't have to - it provides load/save game functions, inventory management, and more. Add in some interactions (ie. what happens when the player clicks on various things) and you're done. You can even create a standalone EXE file containing your entire game, which you can then distribute. So, how much does it cost? Nothing. That's right, AGS is free, and you can even create commercial games with it (subject to license terms). Games you create will run on Windows 98, ME, 2000, XP and Vista. They require DirectX 5 or later (DirectX 9 is required to use the hardware accelerated graphics driver). The .NET framework is not required by people playing your games.
The zip contains AGS 3.0 (both installer and zip version) and AGS 2.72

DimensioneX is what people would call a Multiplayer Game Engine. It lets you develop a game without having to re-inventing the wheel. Here's what DimensioneX does for you:
-Display of the game scene, play sounds.
-Positioning and behaviour of the players in the game
-Communication via network between the players
-Management of saved games
-The users will play your games simply via their browser.

This game engine is actually a Java Servlet. It is not for a specific platform (i.e. PC or Mac) it will run on any Java-enabled web server (such as: Tomcat, also freeware).

This means the following:

Any computer capable of running Java can be used to run DimensioneX and its games. All you need is just to install Tomcat or any other equivalent webserver.
Once a game is developed, it can be immediately published online: many ISPs today offer servlet hosting. Plus, we offer free hosting to any game projects being developed on DimensioneX
You can exchange games for DimensioneX with other users as you would do with game CDs or cartridges. Or - unlike most of the game makers around - you can choose to leave people play your game online without giving them any access to the game sources

The primary goal is to develop a robust game programming library that is truly easy to use and develop with, that does all the dirty works that all modern games need to implement anyway, thus the game developer can concentrate on the gameplay instead of reinventing the wheel over and over again.

GTGE is a high level interface library, it means programmer never has to worry about any low level commands anymore. The only thing left for the programmer is use their imagination and start programming their game.
You don't have to know anything about managing graphics, input, and other low level stuff in Java. Instead you can start immediately develop your own game using the latest Java technology, such as bufferstrategy, volatile image, and even OpenGL easily. You can check out GTGE design standard simplicity, generic, and replacable.
GTGE is freeware library, however we highly appreciate any donation.

With lite-C you can quickly and easily program graphics or virtual reality applications - such as 2D or 3D computer games - even without previous programming knowledge! Sounds, images, movies, user interfaces, 2D and 3D models, collision detection, rigid body physics, multitasking, and DirectX 9 functions are already a native part of the language. So you can immediately achieve results with a few lines in lite-C that would require hundreds of source code lines with normal C/C++ compilers.
Lite-C is ideal when you don't want to concentrate on programming, but on the content. It's also ideal for learning programming. Its syntax is similar to the C/C++ programming language, but much easier - and more fun - to learn. Anything that's scary to a beginner, like memory and pointer handling, is automatically managed in lite-C. No crashes, memory leaks, and pointer arithmetics anymore!
The lite-C package contains a complete development environment with editor, compiler, and debugger, and many samples of DirectX, OpenGL, and other programs. And the best of all: lite-C is free! A free 3D model editor for creating 3D content is also available.
The free lite-C version can be used to create and publish applications for noncommercial purposes.
Note:the screenshot refers to a game created with 3d gamestudio.
