We’re thrilled to announce the latest release of Zentera, and this one is extra special: we’ve opened up everything. 🎉

From today, you can download not only the full game but also the entire Kudzu engine, source code, and assets for free. Every file you need to build, modify, and extend the game

What's included?

• Complete Source Code 🎮
  Change the game logic, experiment with new mechanics, or overhaul mechanics entirely.
• Full Asset Library 📦
  Swap out models, music, textures. Make Zentera look exactly how you want.
• Level Editor & Tools 🛠
  Use our built-in tools and editor to craft new levels, or remix and refine existing levels.

What can you do?

• Create New Levels - Design fresh maps, puzzles, or challenges.
• Modify Existing Content - Tweak Player movement or add secret rooms.
• Change the code - Implement new features, rewrite mechanics, or make a whole new gamemode.
• Customize Assets - Replace models, swap colors, or give the whole level a new aesthetic.

Why We're Sharing Everything

As a group of students working on this project, it has been a great experience. Creating a custom engine in 8 weeks and another 8 weeks to develop a game has been a great learning experience. Working within the limitations of the engine and the time constraint, we want to empower others to take it further. By making the engine and assets available, we're inviting anyone to:

• Collaborate on improvements, bug fixes, and new features.
• Showcase your own levels, mods, and art to us and other players.
