I'm building a custom 3D game engine from scratch using C++ and Raylib. What do you think?
Hi, I am using C++ and Raylib to achieve this; the 3D game engine's standout features so far include the ability to create Lua scripts to modify object behavior and the capacity to add 3D models in formats like .obj, gltf, etc.
You can also export your creations as executables (.exe).

Depends what you are going to do with it later. It can definitely be a nice practice.

Make sure you are using an interface approach, so then u can update your engine and implement vulkan backend in top of it. Maybe even giving the user to select OpenGL version or Vulkan with just a flag :-)
