The Aves Engine is a software development kit to generate spectacular browsergames without the need for third-party plugins like Microsoft Silverlight or Adobe Flash on the end-user side. Highly inspired by Game Engines from the PC and Videogame-Industry, Aves-Engine is aimed toward serious browsergame publishers and game studios who want to benefit from a component based engine architecture and cross-plattform compatible code to deliver high quality games on any desktop operating system or mobile devices.

The video shows some scenes and features put together based on the early alpha built of the engine. It shows some nice unique techniques in the frontend rendering, however, this is only a very small portion of what the Aves Engine is really about.

We are in the early stages of the development but are happy to show interested investors, gamestudios and publishers working prototypes of the game engine to demonstrate performance and commercial prospects.

We released a new video at E3 2010. Search for Aves Engine on Youtube and watch the E3 Video!

Nice engine, but what are the minumun specs for a client? Such a heavy js code doesn't run very well on older machines, i think...

[actraiser]

@0xC0FF33 well, even the not very optimized prototype you see in ths video runs smoothly in Safari on iPhone 3GS. The iPhone has a 600MHZ CPU and 256MB of RAM. So, the Games will run just fine on any PC as long as modern browser with a advanced javascript engine is available - which basically includes any mainstream browser today.

fuck... they have been bought by zynga... that means no open source for sure... :(

[catchthatchucky]

Dear god almighty, they created Sims Online-like game in JavaScript!

@TheShadeII

[GameEnginesAreGay]

Game engines are a pain in the ass.

I've tried others like Unity, DirectX Studio, GameStudio... the list goes on. The bottom line is that programming your own engine is the best way to go.

If the engine is very fast and flexible, chances are you'll have to suffer from no documentation.

Writing your own version of something that "acts" as an engine is way less gay than writing something gay like an engine, or using engines that bring not enough help.

Write games raw.

[grgs2]

What tileset did you use for the surface? Or did you make it yourself?

[TheShadeII]

@killerpacdot Um... no! Have you ever tried to read obfuscated JS? Especially if the sourcode is long you have no chance!

[killerpacdot]

@TheShadeII Anything in JS is open source.
