In one line

OPAL is a free, third-party launcher for the Open 3D Engine — install engines, manage projects and gems, and run builds from a single desktop app.

Boilerplate

Quotable, and safe to reproduce verbatim:

OPAL is a third-party launcher that helps manage Open 3D Engine (O3DE) projects, assets, engine installations, builds, and production workflows. It is developed by Genome Studios Inc., a corporation incorporated in Alberta, Canada, and is provided free of charge. OPAL is not an official O3DE product and is not affiliated with, sponsored by, or endorsed by the Open 3D Foundation, the Linux Foundation, or the O3DE project.

What you may publish

Section 7 of the EULA grants this outright. You may create, publish, distribute, and monetize media that truthfully depicts, demonstrates, reviews, teaches, or comments on OPAL — screenshots, recordings of the interface, tutorials, reviews, livestreams, articles, and presentations.

No advance approval is required for reviews, criticism, tutorials, journalism, educational material, streams, or screenshots. That includes unfavourable coverage. The EULA also expressly preserves fair dealing, criticism, review, news reporting, and parody rights that cannot be restricted by contract.

The one place to check the rules is deliberate use of our logo or type treatment in your own promotional material — see the Branding Guidelines. Using the name OPAL in prose, or showing the software as it looks, needs nothing from us beyond spelling OPAL in capitals.

Assets

A downloadable press kit — logos, product screenshots, and key art — is being assembled and will be published here.

In the meantime: the Features page carries current product screenshots you’re welcome to use, and you can request specific assets under Media / Press. Tell us what you’re working on and what resolution you need.

Please don’t

  • Describe OPAL as an official O3DE product, or as bundled with, endorsed by, or affiliated with the Open 3D Foundation, the Linux Foundation, or the O3DE project.
  • Redistribute the OPAL installer yourself. Link to opallauncher.com instead — see the mirror rules in section 4 of the EULA if you want to host a copy.
  • Present a modified build, or screenshots of one, as OPAL.
