Host migration and funding

As you might have noticed already, our services were progressively migrated, during the month of October, to a cloud provider that, I believe, provides the best price/quality for our project. Up till now we have been using amazon aws with one year of credits donated by @adi.barda, that allowed us to never use any of our community fund, but from now on you will see monthly expenses submitted to the fund to pay for hosting and related services. … Read More...

Sgold interviews Adi Barda

stephengold When, where, and how did you first become aware of JMonkeyEngine? What got you interested in using it?

Update in the wake of recent events

Hello fellow community members. Probably most of you know already, but one of the team members left the community due to an internal disagreement.

JMonkeyEngine version 3.3.2 is here!

After 3 months of beta testing, the Java game engine’s long-awaited v3.3 release arrived on 30 March.

With it came exciting new features: AppState ids, light-probe blending, a better ragdoll control, and an animation system rewritten from the ground up.

As often happens, a few key bugfixes missed the cutoff for v3.3.0-stable. In its wake, the JMonkeyEngine team came together and identified a handful of existing fixes that could be safely backported into v3.3. With the help of volunteers, candidate builds received extensive testing on multiple platforms. Their efforts culminated in version 3.3.2-stable, a production-ready patch release from the v3.3 line.
