As we began building the successor to Lumberyard, we wanted to give developers the ability to access technology, contribute, and grow it. With that comes the Linux Foundation and their Open 3D Foundation, with AWS seeding the foundation with the Open 3D Engine (O3DE) – a AAA-capable, cross platform open source game engine available under an Apache 2.0 license.
Free. Powerful. Fully Customizable.

Build Bigger.
Lumberyard is architected for performance, modularity, and productivity. Reduce time to quality and maximize ambition, across PC, console, and mobile.
Build a Fanbase.
Engage and grow your community inside and outside of your game, and build games as fun to watch as they are to play, with Lumberyard's Twitch integration.
Build Free.
Lumberyard is free and includes full source. There are no seat fees, subscription fees, or requirements to share revenue. Only pay for the AWS services you choose to use.
We aimed to build an engine that could stand the test of time in an open source world.
