Professional game development tools should be freely available to everyone. The Foundation develops Crown Engine as a public, collaborative project and releases it under a permissive open-source license. No account or payment is required to download Crown, inspect its source code, read its documentation, or use it to build your project.
We serve developers, artists, learners, independent teams, and organizations that need a capable game engine they can use, study, modify, and share. Our work focuses on practical tools, clear learning resources, open development, and direct public access to each release.
What the Foundation Does
Our day-to-day activities turn the mission into software and resources people can use freely.
Develop Crown Engine
We design, implement, test, and maintain the engine, editor, asset pipeline, and deployment tools used to create interactive gaming experiences.
Publish Free Releases
We provide ready-to-use binary downloads and source code for supported platforms, with no registration, subscription, or license charge.
Maintain Open Knowledge
We write and update the manual, examples, release notes, and public development plans.
Support Participation
We run public development and issue tracking, welcome code and translation contributions, and help users through community channels.
Crown Engine and its public resources are completely free. Donations help the Foundation sustain that work by funding core contributors, development and testing hardware, web infrastructure, banking services, and other essential operating costs.
Foundation members can participate in internal discussions and help decide the organization's direction through a transparent, democratic process. New voices are welcome.
