Esenthel Next-Gen Game Engine, Supports Linux

By - | Views: 10,779
With all the talk of game engines giving Linux support recently, here is another. Esenthel game engine classes itself as a "Next-Gen" game engine with advanced features.

There is a browser demo you can view here, this is done without any plugins too, although it only worked for me in Firefox and not Chromium.

They also have a few interesting videos available, like this demo of them creating a racing game:

The engine costs $199 with no royalties, not a bad deal, but is it anygood? I haven't been able to find any Linux games built with it, if you do let us know in the comments.

The reason it does not work on Chrome is probably because your GPU is blacklisted. E. g. they have blacklisted all machines with optimus installed. And for a good reason it seems, flash is broken on Intel and Nvidia is totally broken on my machine. It was done 1.5 years ago and afaict no work whatsover has been afterwards. A-holes...

You can check if hardware acceleration is enabled by navigating to chrome://gpu/

Works fine in Chrome for me on Fedora 20 with Nvidia GTX660ti and Nvidia's drivers.
I have removed my card from the blacklist though. Not sure if it was needed, I always remove my card from the blacklist first thing when setting up chrome and have been this way for over a year with no issues. As far as I can tell Nvidia is blacklisted for no good reason.
