<p>The Flax Engine game engine has just seen it’s 1.0 release. We’ve had our eyes on this engine since it’s first <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_XJfNAhS7F8">public beta in 2018</a>, which was then followed by a few years of radio silence. The in July of 2020 <a href="https://gamefromscratch.com/flax-engine-0-7-released/">we got the 0.7 release</a> which added several new features including C++ live scripting support. With today’s release the Flax Engine is now available to everyone.</p>
<p><strong>Key features include</strong>:</p>
<ul>
<li>Seamless C# and C++ scripting</li>
<li>Automatic draw calls batching and instancing</li>
<li>Every asset is using async content streaming by default</li>
<li>Cross-platform support (Windows, Linux, Android, PS4. Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S, UWP…)</li>
<li>GPU Lightmaps Baking</li>
<li>Visual Scripting</li>
<li>VFX tools</li>
<li>Nested prefabs</li>
<li>Gameplay Globals for technical artists</li>
<li>Open World Tools (terrain, foliage, fog, levels streaming)</li>
<li>Hot-reloading C#/C++ in Editor</li>
<li>Full source-code available</li>
<li>Direct communication and help from engine devs</li>
<li>Lightweight development (full repo clone + compilation in less than 3 min)</li>
</ul>
<p>Flax is available for Windows and Linux developers with the source code available on GitHub. Flax is a commercial game engine, but under fairly liberal terms. Commercial license terms are:</p>
<blockquote class="wp-block-quote">
<p>Use Flax for free, pay 4% when you release (above first $25k per quarter). Flax Engine and all related tools, all features, all supported platforms, all source code, all complete projects and Flax Samples with regular updates can be used for free.</p>
