Android game engine Rokon announces the suspension of updates

As one of the android game engines, Rokon, after a long silence, suddenly announced on its project page recently that it will terminate subsequent version updates in the future. The following is the original article and translation.

 

Project address: http://code.google.com/p/rokon/

 

Original article:

Hello all. Unfortunately, my web host has upted the rokonandroid.com database, and it is irretrievable. There are no recent backups.

I am unable to commit any real amount of time, as I am focussed on my final year at university. I have lectures, a Masters project, PhD and job applications, a girlfriend, and generally other more important things to do!

It's unlikely that-without someone else doing it for me, the website will come back any time soon. I haven't been able to update the code lately either (You may have noticed this) So assume that the latest trunk is the finished 2.1.0 version. I will (hopefully) get around to packaging this up as a download soon.

For now, I hope you can find all the help you need here. other engines are being updated more frequently, I 'd suggest you try the other open source alternatives. if you aren't afraid of doing some coding work to achieve top performance, and great features-Give libgdx a go. I 'd say it's the best thing out there. if you're after an easier, more Rokon like experience, try andengine.

Both of these projects have been actively worked on for the past few months-unlike Rokon-so I hope you find what you need!

Self-Translation:

Hello everyone. We have an unfortunate message to inform you that my rokonandroid.com website has suffered an irreparable database crash and has not been backed up recently.

Besides, I have no time to do this job. I need to concentrate on my college work in the last year. I want to attend lectures, complete my master's project, prepare for a blog, and find a job, besides, I still have a girlfriend. Many things that are more important than this project are still waiting for me to do.

It is no longer possible to continue-because no one else replaces me. However, the website will be updated in the near future. The current project does not contain the latest code (You may have noticed this). I will update it to the final version 2.1.0, package download is provided as soon as possible (hopefully ).

Now, I hope that my suggestions here will help you. Although Rokon is absent, there are many other engines that are constantly updated. You can try to replace Rokon with other open-source projects. If you don't care about complicated coding and want the best performance and effect, go to libgdx. I think it is the best thing at present. If you need a simpler implementation and enjoy the user experience like Rokon, you can play with andengine.

These two projects have been very active over the past few months-they won't be abandoned halfway like Rokon-and hope you can find what you need in the end!

Ah, a very good open-source project is dying.

 

PS: if you have time in the future, you can build a follow-up project based on Rokon, but wait until your project is stable ......
