Check it out. I backed it because it will bring more games to my favorite OS:

If they only need 20k and they have a successful game engine already, why do they need our help? I'm a little suspicious of that, it feels like they're using KS as a PR engine rather than a crowd funder. Regardless of that though I am in support of more gaming on Linux, more mainstream people use OpenGL might clean it up a little

That's what I like to call wishful thinking

You dream crusher you.

Meh. I still backed. Viva la Revolution!

It is a 3 person company that sells a game engine for $200. I do not think they swim in money.

Leadwerks is past it's limit and starts it's journey to stretch goal #1!

Interesting. Don't shoot me, but I don't use linux that often (Except for file servers, web servers). I may back anyway, because.. Linux is awesome

I did download the windows trial off their website. Really cool!

I almost considered using this engine instead of learning how to do 3D engine programming way back in the day...it looked really nice, so I wish them the best

I am playing around with OpenGL right now and I have an embryo for a game engine in C++. However, I backed Leadwerks enough to get a licence for the C++ API because I want to get started on all my game ideas =). I am almost 36 years old with one kid (maybe one more soon ... ). I have one finished game in the pipe to be released (Not OpenGL). However, I have released that I need fast ways to explore ideas and Leadwerks looks like it could enable that for me.

The dream is to be a dad and a game programmer for the rest of my life.

Thanx

Leadwerks has added some default procedural generation tools in the Leadwerks 3.1 terrain editor. The Leadworks KS update bellow actually includes a lot of details on how to get realistic procedural terrains:

Also in an earlier Leadworks KS update they describe their Virtual Texture Terrain technology. It is a improved version of ID:s Mega Textures with a quite interesting way of adjusting texture resolution. Another teach detailed Leadworks KS update:

Could maybe inspire LT planet terrain generation

On a side note. It looks like Leadworks could reach it's third stretch goal before the KS end.
