Yage (Yet Another Game Engine, rhymes with "age") is an open source, cross-platform, general-purpose, and free 3D game engine. Although it is currently in the early stages of development, it's planned to incorporate may features of leading commercial game engines when finished. Yage is written using the D programming language.

[edit] What Yage Will be Able to Do

Yage is meant to assist developers write any 3D application with a specific focus on games. Unlike many engines that focus on a specific genre, Yage will be able to handle first person shooters, space sims, real-time strategy, platform games, and even non-game applications. Basic features will include:

  • A powerful, multi-threaded scene-graph to keep everything organized
  • 3D rendering with polygonal geometry, lights, fog, shaders, etc.
  • 3D positional sound/music
  • Physics using the bullet physics library
  • User interface, supporting events, fonts, and control widgets
  • Cross-platform
  • Intuitive, robust, object-oriented API
