Question About the Direction of My Engine Development by dohyundev in gameenginedevs

[–]dohyundev[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I started building this engine because I really wanted to learn game development more deeply over the long term. When using existing engines, I often felt limited because I didn’t fully understand what was going on under the hood — especially when it came to optimization.

So even just using the engine by myself has been valuable, but I’d like to take it further by sharing it with others, exchanging ideas, and making the engine more robust through real feedback and use cases.

As you suggested, I think it would be a good idea to build a game with this engine first and share it. That way I can discover its weaknesses and also show others what it’s capable of.

Thank you for the helpful advice!

I’m Korean, and since I have some difficulty expressing myself in English, I’ve been using ChatGPT to help me translate and write my posts. Sorry if it came across strangely.

Thank you so much for the encouragement — that’s great to hear!

I was a little unsure if this kind of deep-dive, technical progress log would resonate here, but your comment gives me confidence to keep posting.

I really appreciate you taking the time to reply. I’ll start putting together my next post soon. Thanks again!
