In Time Engine is a fully custom C/C++ 3D and 2D game engine designed for performance, flexibility, and ease of use. It follows a strict event-driven architecture, allowing developers to interface with events and components to build applications and games. Currently, the engine builds with MSVC, with future support for Make planned. It is designed to be platform-agnostic, with minimal OS-specific code; any future platform-specific functionality will use conditional compilation.
