01 · Scene structure
Hierarchy
Build a scene from visible entities: cameras, lights, volumes, terrain, and imported assets stay organized in one place.
Inside the editor
Editor UI
Hover to explore the editor.
02 · World preview
Scene view
Author directly in the world with an interactive scene view for composition, lighting, atmosphere, and moment-to-moment iteration.
03 · Precision controls
Inspector
Tune the selected object through focused component controls—from transform values to physical sky, sun, moon, fog, and particles.
04 · Project content
Asset browser
Browse project files and visual assets without leaving the editor, then bring them straight into the scene and iterate in context.
05 · Visual preview
Asset view
Inspect selected materials, textures, and other visual assets in a dedicated preview before bringing them into the world.
06 · Run and iterate
Play controls
Enter play mode, pause the world, or step through simulation changes while keeping the scene and editor state in view.
07 · Editor tools
Top toolbar
Reach the editor’s primary workspace tools, view controls, and quick actions from the persistent toolbar across the top.
08 · Workspace layouts
Layout presets
Switch between saved workspace arrangements so the editor adapts to animation, authoring, asset review, and other focused tasks.
09 · View tools
Scene toolbar
Use the vertical scene overlay to switch authoring tools and interact directly with the world view while you build.
10 · Spatial controls
Transform
Set local position, rotation, and scale with precise numeric controls for the selected entity.
11 · Identity
Asset name
Find an asset by its project name and use it as the primary reference point while browsing content.
12 · Format
Asset type
See the asset format at a glance, so materials, textures, models, and other resources stay easy to distinguish.
13 · Footprint
Asset size
Review file size directly in the browser to understand an asset’s storage footprint in the project.
14 · Resolution
Asset dimensions
Check dimensions and other visual properties before choosing an asset for the current scene.
15 · Recency
Modified date
See when an asset was last changed, helping you identify the most current version during iteration.
16 · Source control
Git status
Keep source-control state visible in the browser so changed, new, and tracked assets are clear while you work.
17 · Organization
Asset tag
Use tags to classify content and keep larger projects easier to search, filter, and manage.
More of the editor
Editor features
Hover each capture to inspect the details at 100%.
01 · Live workspace
Scene, assets, and atmosphere
A full editor workspace with the scene view, project assets, and the physical sky inspector working together.
02 · Material library
Browse materials at scale
Explore a visual material library in the asset browser, select an asset, and inspect it directly in the workspace.
03 · Scene authoring
Compose pixel-art worlds
Build stylised pixel-art scenes while keeping the hierarchy, scene, asset browser, and material controls visible for fast iteration.
04 · Asset inspection
Inspect every material detail
Preview materials side by side with their shader properties, textures, and selected scene content.
05 · Version control
Source control inside the editor
Work with Git, Lore, Subversion, and Diversion directly in the editor—keeping repository state, asset changes, diffs, history, and sync actions close to the project.
06 · Environment rendering
Ocean shader & image-based lighting
Shape an ocean scene with reflective water, a starry sky, and image-based lighting that carries atmosphere across the world.
Current foundation includes
Rendering
- Vulkan as a resident rendering API, aiming for a modern approach.
- Customizable, asset and code-driven render graph and render pipeline.
- Shader reflection to reason about shader data at authoring time.
- Materials and full rendering pipeline clustered forward+, with meshlets.
Material & node graphs
- Build materials visually by connecting typed shader nodes into a surface graph.
- Compile graph assets into GLSL with live preview and parameter controls in the editor.
- The shared graph foundation also supports node-based gameplay and authoring workflows.
Scripting
- CoreCLR compile server in a separate process; compile and hot-reload in the editor and runtime.
- Potentially: visual scripting, core generation, and additional methods later.
UI System
- XML/HTML + CSS-style UI.
- Yoga-powered layouts plus extras such as z-index.
- Hot-reload while editing.
- Text rendering uses Slug shaders.
Entity-Component System
- Modern ECS using C++20 for automatic component registration.
- Write classic systems or code that feels object-oriented while the data layout stays data-oriented.
- Planning to extend with code generation for more optimizations.
Assets
- Asset database for GUIDs, references, and bookkeeping.
- Asset parsers.
- Live notifications when file contents change.
MCP & LLMs
- Debug and render introspection with screenshots, CPU/GPU profiling, and render graph capture paths.
- Drive authoring: inspect panels, simulate clicks, and edit entities or components.
- Lifecycle helpers for launch, tests, builds, and verification cycles.
Platform support
- Native C++ engine and editor builds for Windows, macOS, and Linux.
- Vulkan rendering on Windows and Linux, with Metal support on macOS.
- Managed C# scripting is currently Windows-first, with broader platform support continuing over time.
