Emotion is a cross-platform game engine written in C# with minimal dependencies, for me to make games in. The engine is more targeted towards programmers and is alternative to stuff like MonoGame, FNA, and Love rather than Unity.
A visual novel for Windows, Linux, and x64 Mac.
The version this game was built on is kept in the "adfectus-backup" branch.
A roguelike deckbuilder for Windows and Linux, with an Android version built but not published.
The version this game was built on is kept in the "EtA" branch.
Check out the "Tests" project for examples, the comments in code, and the Emotion Examples project to learn more about how to use the engine. Proper documentation is a longterm goal.
- OpenGL 3.0 or higher supported hardware
- Or DirectX 11 if ANGLE is enabled
- Or a multi-core CPU if the Mesa software renderer is enabled
- WebGL 2.0 on Web
- Be able to run the Net 9 runtime.
- If older than Windows 10 you'll need the C++ Redistributable 2015 Update 3
- For Windows 7 you'll also need a specific security update KB3063858
- A supported platform:
- Windows 32 and 64 bit
- Linux 64 bit (Steam Deck works too)
- Android API 23+
- Or implement your own via PlatformBase :)
That's it.
It is recommended you develop with a cloned version of the Emotion repo linking Emotion.csproj in your solution. This way you have the most control over your code. Using nuget packages, prebuilt dlls, and any other ways of linking Emotion is not supported.
This includes dependencies and projects which were used for research references. If you're distributing code using this project include the "LICENSE THIRD-PARTY" file from the repository.
