Hello all,

I'm almost "done" with my JOGL engine for the purposes of my first game!
But, looking back, I'm curious why there is no central game engine when
they are all pretty similar. It seams logical to me: before openGL, people
made custom drivers for hardware, so perhaps people will soon be
saying before ____ people made custom game engines.

Of course there are open source JOGL engines, but there are so many of them!
And the biggest problem is that getting together a bunch of people to make a
supreme open game engine would itself be competing with other engines.

I love JOGL. It helped me get involved in the game industry and start my own
company while I'm still in high school. The reason I am posting this is because
I want others to have the same opportunity I did, and I think having an
industry standard game engine could further extend the reach of JOGL and the game industry.

I know I'm not the first one to have this general idea, but I thought I should
just make my voice heard, and ask if their are any projects like this currently happening?

Thanks!
