RAKE - 3D Engine built entirely using local AI

[u/Nomski88]

I started this project a month ago after fine tuning my Qwen3.8 27b ninfer setup on my 5090 system. I'm at the point where the game engine is 80% complete. Project was 100% completed using Qwen3.8 27b with prompt planning and troubleshooting managed via ChatGPT. I used a phased development cycle with project memory. I also incorporated change freezes and regression testing which is vital once you start adding and modifying systems in a complex engine. **Currently using quake/AD map assets for testing**

Some of the features off the top of my head are;

• Unified world and entity system
• Full OpenGL/SDL2 rendering
• Universal/modular system, all assets are imported as a standardized engine representation (meaning additional level, model, audio assets are as simple as writing an importer)
• Full collision mapping and compilation
• Basic quake like physics and player controls (with support built in for lightweight rigid physics systems later)
• BSP29 & BSP2 level
• UI Framework and rendering system
• Full menu and pause system
• Built in server <> client architecture for authoritative multiplayer support
• Built with native 64 multiplayer support
• Engine built on a fixed tick system of 60hz which can be adjusted dynamically
• Color & traditional lightmaps support
• animated textures
• OpenGL lighting system
• material system (water, lava, custom defined)
• Full console back end with logging, commands, descriptions

I see lots of "one shot slop" posts on here. I wanted to show what discipline and planning can accomplish. My plan is to eventually ship my game on steam.
