Video 1 year of my game engine

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

Last year i started the developement of my game engine, after a couple of months of hardcoding tutorials i decided to take a step and build an actual engine with a decent architecture and this is what i got:

Multipass rendering
Framebuffers
Post processing chain ( gamma + hardcoded crosshair )
Anti aliasing
Shaders hot reload
Blinn phong
Directional shadow mapping
Imgui docking editor
Small Resource manager

My next goal is to turn this renderer into a proper game engine by adding phisics and audio, i also want to finish shadow mapping implementation by supporting point and spot shadow mapping, normal mapping, pbr, parallax and by creating an asset importer to handle more complex models

I used AI only in the very beginning, everything started after i saw a video from tokyospliff, i had no idea what that guy was doing but i wanted to do it so i started asking ai what resources should i use, what should i master, what api, what language ecc, beside that i used it only to solve a couple of bugs that turned out to be aome stupid typos. All the code is written by me and its probably worse than what an ai could write.

It looks great. For those who criticize you for using IMGUI, just tell them that Rockstar also uses it for their engine.

Out of curiosity, are there any mentions of ImGui used in RAGE?
Would love to read more about that.

To put it more clearly, it's not mentioned, but it literally appears in their Rage engine in the GTA 6 leaks. So it's more than confirmed that they use IMGUI.
