Welcome to the Crystal Space Community!

The community page for Crystal Space game development.

Crystal Space is a multi-platform game development engine, one of the most powerful 3D engines out there. Create professional looking games with this incredible engine. Many game companies want a fast solution to creating games, but do not want to compromise on quality. Speed is a major issue in the gaming industry. Therefore, more precious time is spent on optimizing and developing games with speed. Crystal Space, does all the optimizing for you, so you do not have to worry as much when you develop your games.

However, it is not just for games! Applications can also be created! With all this, Crystal Space makes it a perfect solution for multi-platform Rapid Applications Development or for Prototyping. The official Crystal Space website is at http://www.crystalspace3d.org.

Crystal Space's license is LGPL (Lesser General Public License). Which means it is completely FREE for developers to create their own games. Most people associate free as "Non-Production Quality" or "Inferior to another Commercial product" or even "Low Quality". Crystal Space is far from being these.

However, there is another 'price' to this powerful system.

Having this production quality and incredibly powerful engine, does have a problem. The learning curve is slightly steep. But do not worry! That is what this place is for! The provision of articles and tutorials, and a forum to discuss, on everything about Crystal Space and on Game development, will help even non-developers.

After that, games will be easy to make!
