Every Dream Needs funding.

LITIENGINE has evolved from a small learning project to one of the most popular Java 2D game engines available on the market.
We create LITIENGINE entirely in our free time and without regular monetary compensation!

If you want to support us living our dream, please consider helping us out with a one time donation or by becoming our sponsor.
