Amagate is a Blender extension that transforms Blender into a specialized environment for building 3D maps, managing assets, and exporting to Blade Engine's proprietary format.
It is also a one-stop development tool that makes the Blade workflow more efficient and convenient.
It is like a time-space bridge spanning over 20 years, connecting old games on one side to new engines on the other.
The project has ambitious goals and a long road ahead.
I hope this tool can help those interested step into the gateway of the 3D world. This is Amagate.

Blender version: 4.3.0 or above
From the menu bar, select Edit -> Preferences -> Get Extensions,
then click Install from Disk in the top-right corner and choose the downloaded extension zip file.
Entity creation and animation setup require a model pack to be used. After downloading, import it in the model pack panel.
Upon first installation, the required Python packages (approximately 41MB) will be automatically installed.

The current workflow of Amagate is not yet perfect, and some features of the Blade engine have not been implemented, such as the particle system, halo effects, etc.
If anyone can provide suggestions for a more efficient map-building workflow or ideas for simulating Blade functions in Blender, I would be very grateful.
Any suggestions or questions are welcome. Feel free to submit Issues on GitHub or discuss them on Discord.
