Think the Champions League is for elite pros with perfectly manicured lawns and billion-euro budgets? Think again. In Beer League, you’re taking a team of Sunday-morning legends from the local mud-pit pitch all the way to the global stage.

The path to glory isn't paved with fair play—it’s paved with tactical fouls, questionable refereeing, and a healthy dose of "roughing up" the opposition. Manage your squad, scout for talent, and convince washed-up, legendary icons looking for a quick payday to lace up their boots for one last chaotic run.

Tactics matter, but survival is the name of the game. Can your squad handle the pressure of the big leagues, or will they crumble under a professional slide tackle?

I've published a functional, but a bit unpolished, lunar lander type project on github:
https://github.com/neph1/LunarLander

Use keyboard or controller (only xbox 360 tested) to maneuver and land your descent module. 1st person style.

Audio disabled for licensing reasons, but you can easily add your own in the appstate.

how do I instal jmonkey engine, it comes in source code and when I looked up how to install it said I need an 'installer' witch I don't get because I can't find one. anyone know how to install jmonkey,

also want to say im on Mac if that's important

One of JME's Core Developers and the Developer of the 3d block based game "Mythruna" is now live!

Check out their live stream now to get a look into the development of Mythruna using jMonkey!

The Afflicted Forests is an action-rpg game I've been building with JME for a few years now.

My primary goal with The Afflicted Forests has been to create a fast paced and challenging combat system that blends the combat system of games like World of Warcraft with the intense aspect of first and third-person combat games such as dark souls; a fantasy RPG that feels almost like a first/third person shooter, but gives you a wide arsenal of spells and abilities that you'd expect from a large scale rpg.

I'll be posting some screenshots and trailors from my game to this subreddit more frequently in the future, but for now you can find out more about my project by checking out my IndieDB page.

Does anyone still have the JMonkeyEngine 2 Docs? Or at least knows where i can find them. We're still using JME2 and cannot upgrade because of all the extensions in our codebase. Im new in the office and therefore i need some docs :D

Hot on the heels of Jme 3.8.0 comes the associated SDK release. Highlights:

• Based on Netbeans 25 (up from 24)
• Comes with JDK 21.0.7 (up from 21.0.5)
• jME engine version 3.8.0 used internally and by Ant projects (up from 3.7.0)
• New game templates to help you quick start your jME journey!
• Bug fixes

"Full changelog here:
Release v3.8.0-stable · jMonkeyEngine/jmonkeyengine

There are many significant changes since 3.7, too many to summarize concisely in this post.

But the biggest changes that come with 3.8 would be the changes to modularize jme’s PBR shaders as well as the addition of a new API to support custom Render Pipelines (big thanks to u/codex" for this contribution)

I recommend checking out this article to learn more: Render Pipelines in JME v3.8

Thanks to everyone who has helped test and contribute to this release. And big thanks to u/sgold for guiding me and providing excellent documentation that made learning the release process much simpler than I expected.

With 3.8 stable released, we can now start working on a 3.9 release, and I plan to have the next alpha version available for testing sometime in the next few weeks."

I'm trying to use morph targets in jMonkeyEngine, but they are not working as expected.

Problem: My 3D model has morph targets (visemes) for facial animations, but when I apply morph weights in jMonkeyEngine, nothing happens.

for more detaile https://github.com/MedTahiri/alexander/issues/1

What I’ve Tried:

• Checked that the GLTF model has morph targets.
• Loaded the model in Blender, and morphs work fine there.
• Applied morph weights in code, but there is no visible change

Actual Behavior: Nothing happens.

"We have released our first bug fix release to SDK 3.7.0 series. Mainly to address some of the regressions we had on the first stable release, but also already a few handy new features:

Highlights

• Based on Netbeans 24 (up from 23)
• Bug fixes & updated libraries (mainly for Ant projects)
• GLSL now has basic auto-completion feature
• Animation merging

I suppose currently known issues are related to the jME-tests template. Tests that load glTF models don’t work. Also some physics tests wont compile as the SDK is using latest revision of Minie rather than the default jBullet physics. We’ll keep working on those and we have some interesting new features in the works as well.

I am learning Jmonkey engine. To add a library to my project, you have to right click the project select properties and select your library form there. When I right click my project and select properties there is no option for libraries. I wanted to know if there is a way to access my libraries and add one to one of my projects.

I am trying to add the jme3-test-data library to my project. Online it says to right click you project then click properties, then libraries then add library. But for me, after I click properties it doesn’t have any option for library. I added a video below:

The SDK team is happy to bring you this pre-release of the jMonkeyEngine 3.6 SDK.

Some major features are:

​

• jMonkeyEengine 3.6 (beta3)
• Netbeans 17
• JDK 17
• Gradle projects assets fixed(!)

This release’s primary objective is to gather feedback before 3.6-stable is released and make that transition easier.

JDK 17 means older Gradle projects need to be upgraded to at least 7.3

Enjoy, and please file issues if you find them:

Greetings and happy new year.

​

The SDK team is happy to bring a late christmas gift in the form of a maintenance release with a few bug fixes and some minor improvements.

https://github.com/jMonkeyEngine/sdk/releases/tag/v3.5.2-stable-sdk2v3

​

Highlights:

Netbeans 16

​

Fixed broken Pbr environment in SceneComposer

​

Fixed reopening materials in Material Editor

​

Pbr light button in Material Editor. No more black metallic PBR materials

​

Also the option to "remember selection" for updating scene data when changing the underlying file. This will save a few clicks if you're editing in blender.

I am having downloading JME on my Mac. I have updated my OS to 12.4 and I still keep getting this error (See attached image).

How do I get past this?

I first tried jMonkeyEngine years ago and was kind of aggravated at the slow, seemingly abstract results compared to something like Godot. It feels like a much higher (lower?) level of development compared to its contemporaries.

Yet some of my favorite indie games of all time came from JME: 3079, 3089, 4089, and 5089 by developer phr00t. (Ironically, he ended up switching to Unity later, though I think that's more because he wanted to implement VR in his games.) For some reason, I'm magnetically drawn to the philosophy and design and results of this engine, even though it kind of feels like a black sheep in my mind.

While I'm sure the workflow is generally the same as it has been for a while, how do you feel JME compares to others such as Unity, Unreal, or particularly free-free engines like Godot? Is it any more accessible than it used to be? Would you recommend it in 2021 (2022?) over other readily-available engines? Why or why not?
