Best lwjgl game graphically?

I’m curious of this…

What do you guys think is the best (visually/graphically) lwjgl game released?

That depends. Do games made with engines built off of OpenGL count? It really does make a big difference!

lwjgl :slight_smile:

Well LWJGL is just a binding obviously, I just wanted to also include JOGL in this because one forum member specifically loves JOGL, so I didn’t want to not include him!

Define “best”. Do you mean technological prowess / awesomness / realism? I wouldnt have a clue because I dont really care for that. With regards to style I like the puppygames games a lot. But then again, that has more to do with having a good artist than with development (even though this is an essential precondition).

It does really depend on the artist. Chaz is something of a genius, but we limit ourselves technologically so we don’t get too carried away. Battledroid is the most advanced-looking game we’ve made yet and it’s full o’ shaders and such (with a lot of input from theagentd).

I still think one of the best looking LWJGL games was Tribal Trouble, but then, coincidentally, Chaz did the graphics for that, too.

Hey, that game looks great indeed ;D And the game seems quite interesting, I think I’ll buy this evening and try it out.

Artistically I think Starsector, Spiral Knights and Daedalus are also really nice looking LWJGL games.

Ooh yes, Spiral Knights is a proper AAA game as well.

Is it bad style to mention your own game here? Cause I like the way Caromble! looks too.

But in the end it’s all a matter of taste I guess.

I find Salem quite good.

I liked Megacorps Online too.

Sorry for the off topic.

I thought Jake2 's graphics were pretty cool :slight_smile: but i always loved Q2 so I may be biased haha

Wakfu is jogl. Beuatiful art more than fancy tech. That is probably the biggest AAA type Java desktop game that I know of.

Farsky looks quite nice.

What about Wurm Online? Full 3d, large-scale MMO game. :smiley:

Actually check out Robotality’s Halfway. Supremely pretty actual pixel art.

My vote goes to Halfway as well (libgdx and LWJGL unite :p)

I met one of the Robotality brothers at Eurogamer last year - a cute beardy gnome, sort of like Chaz :slight_smile: Really nice guy.

Wakfu beta used JOGL 1 but it switched to its main competitor later as far as I know. I tested this game several years ago as you can see on my personal blog.

Why do you still do that “its main competitor” thing, Julien?
