Developers can build games and new engine features on top of O3DE\u2019s component-based architecture, which enables components of the engine to be used together or independently. Developers will have the flexibility of authoring code with C++, LUA, and Python, while animators, technical artists, level designers, and other content creators can work directly with O3DE\u2019s built-in authoring tools to create 3D experiences.<\/p>\n<p>The Open 3D Foundation and Open 3D Engine Project will enable developers to collaborate on building games and simulations as well as the underlying engine. It includes a Governing Board focused on business and budget decisions and a Technical Steering Committee dedicated to technical strategy and community management.<\/p>\n<p>The Project is organized into Special Interest Groups (SIGs) that include: Build\/Dev Pipeline; Simulation Engine; Content Creation; Network &#038; Cloud; Presentation; Documentation\/Demo; Release; Security; and Testing. The O3DE community welcomes contributions from all cloud providers, gaming companies, and industries to advance the project.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>*&#8221;Amazon Lumberyard&#8221; is now calling itself &#8220;Open 3d Engine.&#8221;<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"wp-embedded-content\" data-secret=\"oiJlA4J6wX\"><p><a href=\"https:\/\/o3de.org\/\">Home<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-embedded-content\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts\" security=\"restricted\" style=\"position: absolute; clip: rect(1px, 1px, 1px, 1px);\" title=\"&#8220;Home&#8221; &#8212; O3DE\" src=\"https:\/\/o3de.org\/embed\/#?secret=pLovF8XzMx#?secret=oiJlA4J6wX\" data-secret=\"oiJlA4J6wX\" width=\"500\" height=\"282\" frameborder=\"0\" marginwidth=\"0\" marginheight=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<div class=\"arve\" data-mode=\"normal\" data-oembed=\"1\" data-provider=\"youtube\" id=\"arve-youtube-cqmjaxr7lzs69e0bef54a08f595942881\" style=\"max-width:900px;\" itemscope itemtype=\"http:\/\/schema.org\/VideoObject\">\n<span class=\"arve-inner\"><br \/>\n<span class=\"arve-embed arve-embed--has-aspect-ratio\"><br \/>\n<span class=\"arve-ar\" style=\"padding-top:56.200000%\"><\/span><br \/>\n<meta itemprop=\"embedURL\" content=\"https:\/\/www.youtube-nocookie.com\/embed\/CQmjAxr7LZs?feature=oembed&amp;iv_load_policy=3&amp;modestbranding=1&amp;rel=0&amp;autohide=1&amp;playsinline=0&amp;autoplay=0\"><br \/>\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen class=\"arve-iframe fitvidsignore\" data-arve=\"arve-youtube-cqmjaxr7lzs69e0bef54a08f595942881\" data-src-no-ap=\"https:\/\/www.youtube-nocookie.com\/embed\/CQmjAxr7LZs?feature=oembed&amp;iv_load_policy=3&amp;modestbranding=1&amp;rel=0&amp;autohide=1&amp;playsinline=0&amp;autoplay=0\" frameborder=\"0\" height=\"505.8\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts allow-same-origin allow-presentation allow-popups allow-popups-to-escape-sandbox\" scrolling=\"no\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube-nocookie.com\/embed\/CQmjAxr7LZs?feature=oembed&#038;iv_load_policy=3&#038;modestbranding=1&#038;rel=0&#038;autohide=1&#038;playsinline=0&#038;autoplay=0\" width=\"900\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><\/span><\/p>\n<p><\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>*They wanted to make hugely profitable proprietary games and couldn&#8217;t do that, because making hit games is a lot harder than Jeff Bezos thought it was. *However, now &#8220;Lumberyard&#8221; is open-source.
