The Amalgam Engine

Three players exploring the World of Repose.

Easily create virtual worlds that support up to 2,000 players per server.

Fully open source, community driven.

Focused on creativity, innovation, and fun.

The Amalgam Engine is a C++/Lua-based engine for creating virtual worlds. Use it to prototype ideas, build small worlds for your friends, or even create full MMOs.

Why use The Amalgam Engine?

Faster than any other engine at building virtual worlds
- Networking, physics, and many other necessary systems (e.g. items, inventory) are fully implemented out of the box
Higher player counts than any other engine
- 1,000 - 2,000 players spread throughout the world (depending on world complexity and hardware)
- Or, 200+ players in the same area (great for social worlds and event spaces)
Provides the tools needed to innovate
- Prototype your virtual world ideas as easily as prototyping a single-player game in other engines
- Build content collaboratively with a live, in-world "build mode"

Get Involved

For too long, virtual worlds have been controlled by giant, risk-averse corporations. By building tools that allow small teams to create virtual worlds, we hope to start a new golden age of innovation in the genre.
