Project DescriptionOx is a mature 3D XNA game engine ready for use in your free or commercial project. It features a 3D scene system with a visual scene editor, a 2D gui system (also with its own editor), JigLibX physics, fully-integrated XNAnimation animation system, and C# game scripting system.
Praise for Ox"...I just have to say extremely good work with this engine, it really is awesome, and saves me a lot of time. So far It's been very easy to work with, and I constantly find nice and helpful features..." - Torshall
