"Still relevant"? Not to be a dick, uh, but who or what in that article was ever relevant? The author? jMonkeyEngine? Open source (for games)? Pretty sure the answer is a resounding no to all three.
That said game devs are pretty open when it comes to open source, kinda. Were it not for fear of patent lawsuits you'd see a lot more source code released. However our careers and livelihoods rely on copyright so you'd probably also see assets under lock and key like all the Doom/Quake releases.
- Mikeb85 12y agoThere ARE games on Steam you can buy right now that were made with JMonkeyEngine. That makes it pretty relevant IMO...
- kelukelugames 12y agoCan you please link to the top jmonkey games?
- Mikeb85 12y agoThey're all listed in the 'Showcase' part of http://jmonkeyengine.org http://jmonkeyengine.org. The top 2 are on Steam, and many of the others are too (or on Greenlight).

- CmonDev 12y agoJust take his words and apply to something more mainstream, like MonoGame.
