CRYENGINE 5.3.3

Release Highlights

CRYENGINE 5.3.3 includes various fixes and marks the launch of a new C# Rolling Ball template. We’re also removing the Sydewinder project and making it available as a standalone download from CRYENGINE Marketplace.

The C# Rolling Ball template is a simple game which is ideal for people who are unfamiliar with using C# in CRYENGINE. This template demonstrates how you can use the Entity Component to modify the behavior of entities in your game, use physics to move entities around a level, and receive input from the player. It’s a great way to get up and running quickly with C# and CRYENGINE.

The Sydewinder tutorial is now available as a standalone download from the CRYENGINE Marketplace. Sydewinder focuses on programming-driven game development and presents an endless side-scrolling game with a high score counter. This tutorial guides you through all the necessary steps in order to get started from scratch using the CE# Framework, as well as direct interaction with CryEngine.Common.

Game Templates

  • New: Added RollingBall template to the C# game template selection.
