-Xenko is a tool suite to create games using C#.  Xenko comes with support for a robust toolchain that enables users to intuitively and efficiently create, manage and modify all assets of a game in development. Its main tool is the Game Studio, a fully integrated environment that allows you to import assets, create and arrange scenes and prefabs using an [[Entity component system]], assign scripts, build and run games.

-It also features a Physically Based Rendering (PBR) layered material editor, a [[Particle system|particle]] editor, a Sprite editor, a Scene editor, a Curve editor and an [[User interface|UI]] engine. Xenko offers a composition-based shader language written on top of HLSL that lets you split shaders logically.  Xenko also supports the most common effects such as Depth of Field and Bloom.
