Intersect provides a complete game development suite for creating 2d mmorpgs with no programming experience or difficult setup steps required! Intersect is powered by MonoGame, and has been designed with stability and performance in mind. Intersect comes with custom assets that are free to use in your projects (even commercially) meaning that you can start developing your game in minutes!
We use GitHub Actions for building and packaging the latest updates for the engine. Releases with downloadable bundles can be found on the Releases page on our GitHub repository.
Please refer to the Requirements document for support matrices.
Our editor uses DirectX and must be ran in Windows, but you can host and play your game on any desktop os that supports OpenGL.
We're open to expanding to new platforms (mobile, web, etc) but don't have the capacity to do so at this time. If you're interested in helping out let us know!
- .NET 7 SDK, verified for v7.0.11 (SDK 7.0.401)
- git: required for cloning submodules, if you want to do this manually you don't need this and use the .zip download but that is not supported
- Tested on 2.42.0
After cloning, run scripts/clone.sh for non-Windows systems, and scripts/clone.ps1 for Windows
- On all platforms this clones any submodules via
git submodule update --init --recursive - Via the .sh file it will also disable the Windows-only editor via
git apply disable-windows-editor.patch
To compile either use an IDE or one of the following commands:
dotnet build -p:Configuration=Debug -p:PackageVersion=0.8.0-beta -p:Version=0.8.0- Debug builds, all debug builds will not create single-file binary outputs
dotnet build -p:Configuration=Release -p:PackageVersion=0.8.0-beta -p:Version=0.8.0- Release builds will create single-file binary outputs but to get a clean output use
dotnet publish
- Release builds will create single-file binary outputs but to get a clean output use
dotnet publish -p:Configuration=Release -p:PackageVersion=0.8.0-beta -p:Version=0.8.0 -r <runtime-id>- e.g.
dotnet publish -p:Configuration=Release -p:PackageVersion=0.8.0-beta -p:Version=0.8.0 -r linux-x64 - The automated builds use the above command for the RIDs
linux-x64,osx-x64andwin-x64

Intersect is distributed with custom assets that have been curated from our community and around the net. Assets all match in style and are all safe to use freely in commercial projects.
