Rebel Fork (rbfx) is an experimental MIT-licensed fork of the Urho3D game engine, providing a lightweight, modular C++17 framework for building 3D games and applications with a WYSIWYG editor and optional C# bindings. It targets Windows, Linux, macOS, Android, iOS, Web, and Xbox (via UWP) and is under active development with an unstable C++ API.

Use cases

• build a 3d game in c++ without a heavyweight engine
• migrate an existing urho3d project to a more feature-rich fork
• create a cross-platform game that runs on desktop, mobile, and web
• prototype 3d scenes with a wysiwyg editor and hot reload
• embed a lightweight 3d engine as a library dependency in a c++ application

When to choose

• you are a C++ or C# developer who wants code-first control over the engine
• you like Urho3D but need more features or active development
• you want a portable, lightweight engine usable as a third-party dependency
• you target many platforms including web and mobile from one codebase

When to avoid

• you want a no-code or scripting-heavy workflow like Unity with an asset store
• you need cutting-edge AAA graphics or technology like Unreal Engine
• you are happy with vanilla Urho3D
• you need a stable, released API - the C++ API is still changing
