Revolution Engine is the very First homebrew 3D Game Engine for Wii. It is directly based on GX without any GL wrapper or anything similar. Natively designed for the Wii, this engine is capable of generating the best[citation needed] homebrew graphics ever seen[citation needed] on this game console.
Introduction
This is not a game, but a library you can use to make your own 3D games for the Wii in a very easy way.
History
This project started in the early 2008, on a spanish forum. The idea was about creating a complete game engine that almost anyone can easily use to quickly create amazing games. Core ideas that have always lead this project are:
- Ease of use
- Taking advantage of hardware to improve performance
- High quality graphics and effects
First release of Revolution engine was in July 2008, with a very limited set of features. But as new versions arise, features get multiplied and engine becomes a useful tool, capable of so many things.
Version 0.4
Revolution Engine 0.4 is the first mature version of the engine, and so the first version published here at wiibrew. It's being released through various steps for better feedback, and for creating a better result for the final release. This is why revolution engine 0.4 is released in alpha versions before being complete.
