Mount Fuji Engine

|
Mount Fuji is a cross platform game engine which aims to provide a set of features and tools which can be used to radically simplify the development process of games on modern hardware.
Mount Fuji provides a rich API which supports most flavours of PC and modern Consoles. While Mount Fuji is internally developed in C/C++ and Assembly, it is accessible by a variety of languages as a statically and dynamically linkable library.
The Mount Fuji engine also provides a set of data and asset management tools designed to take game assets developed in a wide variety of art and asset packages in game. Assets are converted to internal platform specific data formats to maximise efficiency and performance on all available platforms.
The Mount Fuji engine is currently only available to internal developers and beta testers, but a public release is planned when development reaches a stable state.
For related questions or discussion, please refer to the Mount Fuji Forum.
The Mount Fuji Engine has been successfully deployed on the following platforms: Windows, Linux, iOS, PSP and XBox.
Other platforms with various degrees of functionality include Android, OSX, PS2, Gamecube, Dreamcast, NaCl, Emscripten (web/javascript). (I'd appreciate more people to help me test these system)
Fuji is very portable, and I could easily produce a working build for modern console systems within short time given a need.
The Mount Fuji Engine provides extensive support for internationalisation. The font functions are UTF8 and Unicode aware, and the engine has internal support for Unicode string, or more conveniently UTF8 encoding when using the standard string functions.
Tools are provided for managing translations and string tables.
Asset files in typical formats are not directly loaded by the engine.
The engine is designed to load raw optimised platform specific asset formats. This is for efficiency and performance.
Runtime conversion of 'source assets' is possible for most asset types.
For mesh and animation, Fuji uses the AssImp library: http://assimp.sourceforge.net/main_features_formats.html
Images can be loaded from PNG, TGA, BMP.
Sounds can be loaded/played from WAV, OGG, MP3.
Yes, samples are provided for some typical tasks.
Further questions/support can be raised on GitHub, or brought to me directly.
Special thanks go to all the console homebrew communities who have produced fantastic tools for many platforms and found numerous exploits to make any of it even possible!
