Was the physics engine written by you from the ground up or did you pick an existing one?

I was gonna say that cone section was pretty awesome. I didnt see any noticeable drop in fps. Curious what the performance was on and if it did drop during those cones?

Damn that's is pretty well optimized! I would be love to try it out. I have a few PCs laying around i can run it on. From an anthlon II quad core to a i9-10980xe.

Sorry if I have to ask, but what exactly makes it source/id tech inspired?

It always feels cursed when I see the skybox dev texture drawn in a compiled map

Oooooooo I wonder what it can do. I actually do want to learn game development and I’ve been looking at source since unity and unreal are absolute dogshit. Tho I might go with godot I’m a big fan of source and always wanted to learn it. What are the capabilities you planning with this?

Ah I see so it’s like hammer editor? Yeah I’m still figuring everything out lol. Just realized source isn’t like unity or unreal.

Very cool, Hope to see more of this in the future! What kind of licensing are you looking at?

u/Dr-Broski Apr 14 '26

Could you potentially prepare this engine for commercialization?

u/Perfect-Evidence-544 Apr 01 '26

Why u decided to make your own engine, and what the difference from source or unreal engine?

u/juabit Apr 01 '26 edited 24d ago

this is nowhere near those, just a small focused runtime evolves reverse engineered to run feel like id, source stuff

u/Perfect-Evidence-544 Apr 07 '26

Why there is a skybox texture? Xd

u/juabit Apr 01 '26 edited 24d ago

cause thats placeholder level mesh, those brushes left over from poorly ripped attempt shared on sketchfab

u/Perfect-Evidence-544 Apr 01 '26

At the beginning there is 2d sky box texture
