We're working with the Lamiae engine (fork of Cube 2) to create a game about exploring a tiny, magical isle.

The Engine

Lamiae combines the intuitive map editing of Cube 2, with the beautiful shaders of Tesseract and adds on top of that powerful tools to programm games.

basically anything can be acessed trough the UI
next-gen shaders
coding language focused on creating RPGs - but can also be used for FPS and Adventures

You can try the engine out yourself here: https://github.com/hirato/lamiae (click on download zip at the right)
If you don't want to create executables for the engine yourself, download this archive (Windows 32): https://temp-share.com/f/xfrwktbomx and copy the binw32 folder into your lamiae installation.
Note that this download link is temporary.

Why use Cube 2?

The map editing is just wonderful - intuitive, quick, powerful.With the new tools Lamiae introduces it also becomes easy to add gameplay.

If you're curious, here is the page of our tiny, magical game: http://www.indiedb.com/games/isle
Explore a tiny, remote island filled with a wonderful forest and crazy characters. An adventure game for Windows and Linux.

Good job, it looks nice in the screenshots! Maybe you should put a bit more information about your game here (for lazy people, or to "hook" more the readers)

I mainly want to direct people towards the engine. You're right when it comes to the game, will add a little more info, thanks :)

To make the node look more fancy (like being able to click on links)
compose tips

It looks like an awesome initiative. Can it be seen as some successor of Platinum Arts ?

Thanks for the tip Suicizer! Didn't know Quadropolis supports HTML formatting.
Yes, it's developed by the same guy (Hirato). Many menus and gameplay functions can be found already in the RPG module of PAS.
It's much more advanced then PAS :)

Ah ok. Well, great!

Perhaps a better title for the node could help also.

What would you suggest for? :)

Wait, what happened to Octaforge? q66 posted something pretty recently and he's been making updates for it. Lamiae looks like it's further along in terms of having usable scripts but I think Octaforge sounds a little more powerful in terms of what you can do with scripting. Are these two projects going to compete with each other for which gets to be a game dev platform?

Interesting! Didn't know of it before!
So far it doesn't seem you can do much with Octaforge, but it may be an interesting option in the future.
They are not going to compete to be a game dev platform, rather be 2 options to chose from.
