• Physics Roadmap

jME3's preliminary JBullet integration is in a fairly mature stage, with most of its core components working. In the future the next step will be to create a native version of jme3 (bullet) physics as a “2.0” version (1.0 might still stay valid then due to native dependency of 2.0)

• Platform Roadmap
• jmonkeyplatform

Editors for the gde could become a way to avoid bloating the core engine. More specialized tools like cinematics creation and terrain editing might be best suited as an extension to the jME3 Game Development Environment.

Currently ongoing work involves:

• Basic Project Template
• asset management
• Model Importer
• Model/Scene viewer
• Filetype handling
• JME code palette

• Sound Roadmap

jME's sound engine is almost complete, but lacks more extensive testing and has room for improvements.

One of the most sought after features for jME is a complete terrain system, topped off with a user-friendly visual editor. → Terrain Systems

Create a game using jME. Doesn't have to be advanced or graphically intense, something like pacman in 3D for example for geeneral optimization of the engine and many community resources.

• Android Roadmap

• Interface
• Multi-touch support
• Trackball support

• Evaluate various model converters and creators, audio tools, 3-D and 2-D graphic tools (free and paid).
• Write an example make script that regenerates the artwork everytime the designer made changes, and copies the files to the developer's directory.
• Collect the best practices (pros/cons/limitations of tools and approaches) in a comparison table.

A system that eases the job of handling all the different kinds of camera-, recording and playback work involved for making a cinematic in any type of game. Additionally, the use of pre-rendered and edited footage in-game (either in 3D space or contained in cut scenes)
