yes, but you'll have to compile Maratis from source.

open "MGameWinEvents.h", in the function "getKeyName", in the "switch(key)"

change:

    case MKEY_KP0: return "0";
    case MKEY_KP1: return "1";
    case MKEY_KP2: return "2";
    case MKEY_KP3: return "3";
    case MKEY_KP4: return "4";
    case MKEY_KP5: return "5";
    case MKEY_KP6: return "6";
    case MKEY_KP7: return "7";
    case MKEY_KP8: return "8";
    case MKEY_KP9: return "9";

to:

    case '0': case MKEY_KP0: return "0";
    case '1': case MKEY_KP1: return "1";
    case '2': case MKEY_KP2: return "2";
    case '3': case MKEY_KP3: return "3";
    case '4': case MKEY_KP4: return "4";
    case '5': case MKEY_KP5: return "5";
    case '6': case MKEY_KP6: return "6";
    case '7': case MKEY_KP7: return "7";
    case '8': case MKEY_KP8: return "8";
    case '9': case MKEY_KP9: return "9";

Basically,
in Blender, all the animations need to follow each other in the timeline.
Then you indicate the range (start and end) of each sub-animation when you export.

Can you open the .mesh file exported from blender with a text editor and copy the first lines here so I can see ?
It's xml, there is a block called <Animation> that deal with the multi-anim.

Ex:

<Animation>
    <ArmatureAnim file="sheep.maa" />
    <Anims num="2">
        <anim id="0" name="" start="10" end="10" loops="-1" />
        <anim id="1" name="" start="0" end="82" loops="-1" />
    </Anims>
</Animation>

Just to be sure, did you go in the entity properties in Maratis and try changing the current animation ?

Hi, and welcome to the forum.
I'm Anaël, I'll try to reply best to your questions :

1: there was no new release for a long time, partially because a major code rewriting of Maratis Core and Editor is going on.
You can follow the development here : https://github.com/anael-seghezzi/Maratis-4

2: Yes, there is a "publish" button that compact your game files and embed it with a player executable.

3: Maratis Editor is the toolset that allow you to level design and test your game in realtime. Maratis Engine is the 3d engine itself (it's possible to make a game without using the editor) and when publishing, the player only uses the engine. Maratis SDK is only an interface to Maratis Engine (in c++).

4: Yes and No. There is no terrain engine, but you can export a terrain mesh from a 3d software. It means you'll have to optimize the visibility yourself if you want to handle large terrain. Or to extend a custom plugin in c++ to draw terrain the way you want. Water and Ocean can be created with GLSL shaders, but again not by default.

5: Lua is used for game logic programming. C++ is used to create custom plugin, mainly to do things that need fast computing (custom pipeline, rendering, complex AI...).

You need programming to make a game, but depending of the game it's more or less difficult.
Lua is a very simple language to learn. C++ is much more complex (easy to learn but years to masters).
I suggest to start simple and up the complexity step by step, while following a solid structure.

Bests

It looks good, I'm happy to see movement of another alternative.
I just don't understand, and feel sad, about the refactoring, it will make any code exchange from both direction very difficult.

animation will overwrite any bones transformation you are doing,
you have to remove the keyframes of the bones you want to transform (by editing your mesh file manually for example)

Actually, the last Maratis-3x is still there : https://code.google.com/p/maratis/source/checkout

The link given by damvcool is for Maratis-4x (experimental and in-progress)

Hi, welcome to the forum,
it's good to see new members interested in Maratis.

What are "expansive planes" ?

About space environment, an interesting approach is to use procedural (perlin noise, maths...) to generate stars / constellations / planets. It can be controlled and mixed with 3d meshes. Or even using using shaders like this on shadertoy : https://www.shadertoy.com/view/XlfGRj (for inspiration, this shader would need to be adapted to work with maratis).

Optional SDL2 backend is there on github : https://github.com/anael-seghezzi/Marat … Common/GUI
Thanks Jurgel !

The adjustment is quite small, I'm surprised how simple it is.
First thing to check is the window/events system, but when using glfw or sdl there is no problem (sdl is better supported though), then the main loop need to be parsed a bit differently. There might be some modifications to do for file parsing but I didn't test it.
