Open Source C++ ClanLib SDK Refreshed For 2015

Posted by timothy on from the heavy-infrastructure dept.

New submitter rombust writes: Will ClanLib turn around the tides and finally challenge SDL? The latest 4.0 release already offers what Unity and the Unreal Engine charges 30% for, but now after 16 years of development, using only hobbyist developers, it will take on the giant of open source game SDKs! Dedication that's rarely found in the Open Source community without commercial backing.

    Unity does not charge 30%, only a per-seat license. And I'm pretty sure Unreal does not anymore either – more like 5%? I'll admit I DON'T KNOW, unlike the OP.

    Also, a cursory glance shows this "Lib" is far from being a full-fledge game development engine like Unity or Unreal.

    All-in-all, you don't need to lie to make your story interesting, in fact that made it so much worse.
