- The page offers a Blender add-on, runtime, demos, sample projects, and docs; it lists the samples and docs under an MIT licence.
Field notes
The page lays out an edit-and-test loop: arrange a scene in Blender, press Play to export and run it, then make changes that appear in the running game. Its downloads include a multiplayer demo with a host-and-join setup and a racing demo described as supporting up to eight players on a network. The listed samples and docs include .blend files, scripts, and the Ember Temple project.
