Game 5

This is a prototype as I explore programming language, libraries, and tech stack viability for future game titles.

My intent for this work is:

  • to achieve a high degree of control and autonomy over the entire tech stack
  • to further refine my skill and appreciation for the engine layers (system level software, and hardware)
  • to impart a path for differentiation through innovation and discovery in unusual and unconventional approaches
  • to manifest independent game production and portfolio expansion
  • to realize my desire to create, self-actualize, and contribute back to the industry that I love
  • to help others do the same

Related work:

  • Game 6 explores this topic in C17 language, instead of C++20.

TODO

  • publish to iOS and Android mobile (although possible, GLES3 has better support; will probably end up with a wrapper)
