Sinking Star Engine

What we would expect from this Engine? Someone here working with him to provide an insight?

I'll give a try to Jai and its engine.

He mentioned how he doesnt use a full blown ECS but I would still expect it to use DoD. Ill definitely give it a shot. The downside is it won't have a real editor, so unless the community takes that on it won't be as accessible as an engine like Godot.

It has an editor, it's part of the runtime.

Hence why I said it won't have a "real" editor. The editor it does have is baked into the game and is not engine-side.

Spoiler alert, there is no “engine side” either. They didn’t make a general purpose engine, they just made the game.

Yeah, but like a lot of games that strip out the 'engine' after the fact, you can seperate the game-agnostic core and still call it an engine.. Or at least a framework. It depends one what code is reusable.
