Information About

Gamebryo




Gamebryo is Computer And Video Games Middleware originally from Numerical Design Limited (NDL). It is the successor to NDL's NetImmerse engine. Since the creation of Gamebryo, NDL merged with Emergent Game Technologies and the new company is known simply as "Emergent Game Technologies" (EGT). So Gamebryo is now the product of the new Emergent Game Technologies.


DESCRIPTION

Gamebryo is a C++ Cross-platform 3D Computer Graphics engine tailored to game development. It supports


Gamebryo does support more than 3D rendering, but 3D rendering is its focus and what it is best known for. Many game engines are normally more strict as to what and how things can be included in a game. Gamebryo is much more flexible so that it can be used for a numerous array of game types. The renderer makes use of a hierarchical Scene-graph structure.

Though it uses a proprietary renderer, Gamebryo does not limit what type of graphics must or can be included in a game. A Gamebryo license comes with full Source Code so game-specific code can be added whereever a Game Programmer pleases.

Since it contains an extensive graphics renderer, Gamebryo can also be used for serious Simulations and has several customers in this arena as well.

EGT offers evaluation kits of Gamebryo, which include the entire Gamebryo engine including all of Gamebryo's tools for art and other asset importing. These kits lack source code, which are available only with an active license. Evaluation kits are only distributed to potential customers after an interview by an EGT representative.
