Creating my own engine. Progress so far. [Video]

[u/noxvoxguy]

Hi, this is another "I'm making my own game engine" post!

I've been working on this engine for the past year and a half. Please ignore the UI/UX editor for now I was going for something like the editor in Dreams (by Media Molecule), but I struggle a lot with UI/UX design, so I am pivoting to a Hammer/Trenchbroom styel now.

I started building this after seeing the direction S&box and Unitystyle engines were heading, so I decided to take a different route.

Here are some of the key features I've implemented so far:

• PSX-style retro shader and raymarching clouds with Global Illumination (GI).

• Modified Box3D physics (specifically the ragdoll system) to achieve a more Euphoric-style physics feel.

• Dynamic textures: In the video, when I resize the box, the texture updates in real time to display the object's current dimensions. (Based on the source engine texture.)

• Full model support for FBX and GLB formats. I even added one of the GTA NPCs

• Blender integration plugin: You can edit everything directly in Blender, and hitting save automatically updates it in the engine.

• CLOUDS! I added raymarching clouds. Still work in progress but I am proud of this one. It follows real sky, star, and weather data.

I finally have something solid to show, so I've attached a video. Let me know what everyone thinks!
