luxe engine | A lovingly crafted game engine

luxe is a cross platform, rapid development game engine to make games for Mac, Linux, Windows, and Web, with console support in development.

luxe is an easy to learn game engine for making 2D or 3D games. As an engine it prioritizes design and workflow for rapidly expressing ideas.

Designed as a 2D first engine, luxe aims to provide a strong 2D toolset ready to make games. This applies whether it's a one hour or one+ year project.

Beyond the 2D layer lives a powerful but accessible hardware driven renderer, with great support for shaders, asset pipelines, render paths and more.
This allows 3D rendered games to use luxe all the same.

Made by a game studio

luxe is used to make games by the engine developers directly.

We've always believed an engine is driven by real world use, so we made a game studio around it because that's what makes sense to us. We're making Mossfield Origins and Mossfield Archives.

We're a diverse game studio with a strong vision for good community, sustainable business, empowered workers and empowering more voices to create games.

Design philosophy

Modular

A tightly designed core engine with a module system ensures a lightweight yet expressive set of tools.

Fluid

The heart of luxe is rapid iteration and expression of intent. These are design pillars, because workflow matters.

For humans

Built by people that make games with it, luxe cares about the people that are using it day to day.
