Nazara Engine

Nazara Engine is a cross-platform framework aimed at (but not limited to) real-time applications requiring audio, 2D and 3D rendering, network and more (such as video games).

Features:

  • Supports Windows, Linux, macOS and the web (Android and iOS are coming).
  • 2D and 3D rendering using either Vulkan, OpenGL and OpenGL ES (depending on what's available on the target system).
  • Its own renderer-agnostic shader language (NZSL - Nazara Shading Language), a single modern language working with all renderer backends
  • Easy to customize graphics module providing basis for advanced techniques (such as deferred shading, HDR, PBR rendering and more).
  • A powerful and extensible frame graph system allowing you to easily define how your rendering works.
  • Builtin retained widgets (but ImGUI support is available through NazaraImgui.
  • Audio playback and streaming based on OpenAL-Soft.
  • 2D and 3D Physics integration (with Chipmunk and Jolt Physics).
  • Optional ECS (Entity-Component-System) classes for helping with entity handling (based on the excellent entt).
  • A ENet-based reliable UDP networking protocol, supporting IPv6 and encryption (check out ENet6)
  • Support for plugins (with provided Assimp and FFMpeg plugins)

You can use it in any kind of commercial and non-commercial applications without any restriction (MIT license).
