A 3.x Godot Engine fork where I hack and slash and cause mayhem and destruction to all things good and godot.
Similar idea going from godot 3.x to godot 4.x, but taken in a completely different direction.
Currently this engine is a weird amalgamation of godot 3.x, 4.x, and lots of custom features.
Most of the design decisions went into making everything simple for people that knows (or wants to know) what is going on.
It contains all of my currently in use engine modules.
See the changelog for a more comprehensive list of changes.
Pandemonium Engine is a feature-packed, cross-platform game engine to create 2D and 3D games from a unified interface. It provides a comprehensive set of common tools, so that users can focus on making games without having to reinvent the wheel. Games can be exported with one click to a number of platforms, including the major desktop platforms (Linux, macOS, Windows), mobile platforms (Android, iOS), as well as Web-based platforms (HTML5) and consoles.
Pandemonium is completely free and open source under the very permissive MIT license. No strings attached, no royalties, nothing. The users' games are theirs, down to the last line of engine code.
Pandemonium's development is fully independent and community-driven, empowering users to help shape their engine to match their expectations. It is supported by the Software Freedom Conservancy not-for-profit.
Before being open sourced in February 2014, Godot had been developed by Juan Linietsky and Ariel Manzur (both still maintaining the project) for several years as an in-house engine, used to publish several work-for-hire titles.
The Godot engine developers decided to remove the GLES2 backend in Godot 4.x so they can pursue the more modern graphics API-s.
After quite a while of thinking and experimentation however I decided that I still need (and want) the GLES2 renderer for my games, I also needed some of the new features from godot 4.x.
So in early 2022 I decided that I'll fork godot 3.x, and backport anything that I need for my games / projects. While here I also used the opportunity to modularize the engine more, and fix issues I had with it. I also added my engine modules to it by default, and ended up writing lots of custom things.
You can download binaries from the github actions tab [here], or the releases tab [here].
See the official docs for compilation instructions for every supported platform.
The documentation is available [Here].
The class docs are accessible from the editor.
You can also look at the official pandemonium demos in their own GitHub repository.
You can also look at the official 3.x Godot documentation, it will work mostly (sometimes with trivial modifications). It is hosted on ReadTheDocs, and is maintained by the Godot community in its own GitHub repository.
It's also worth looking at official godot 3.x resources, like this awesome Godot list, and there are also a number of other godot learning resources provided by the community, such as text and video tutorials, demos, etc.
