Directus3D Game Engine

Directus3D Game Engine

 

Directus3D is a game engine that started as a hobby project and evolved into something greater. The source code is clean, modern and tackles a lot of aspects of engine development.

The project is at an early development stage and there is a lot experimentation going on, regarding what works best. This means that the wisest thing to do is to approach it as study material, without expecting to make games with it (yet).

There is always a chance that a part of the engine will be unstable and chances are that I am aware of it. Opening an issue can be helpful (and is always appreciated), fixing the issue and doing a pull request is optimal.

Architectual quality is prioritized over development speed. Enjoy.
