THIS PROJECT IS NO LONGER BEING DEVELOPED

This project was discarded as the architecture slowly become much more complex than I anticipated. The design was for all intends and purposes, a failure. But I did learn quite a lot from the mistakes I've made in this project. I started working on the spiritual successor to astro, and that is CR. See here: https://github.com/italrr/cr.

astro is a highly concurrent 3D game engine made in C++11. It's targeted to support Vulkan and OpenGL 4.5 out of the box.

Objectives & philosophies applied since day one:

  • High concurrency
  • Major preference for parallel pipelines
  • Open World esque world maps and scenes
  • Platform agnostic rendering engine out-of-the-box, aiming to support the following for release version:
    • OpenGL
    • Vulkan
  • Multi-platform/OS support:
    • Linux
    • Windows
  • Ability to modify any aspects of the engine through scripts and JSON files
  • Easily moddable games
  • Native scripting language built-in (Lua)

Dependencies

Note: some of the math code used in this software was taken from GLM. I will include apropiate disclaimers in the future.

  • Assimp
  • FreeType

How to build

Basically:

cmake .
make
./astro

About the game

The game I've decided to make with this engine is a co-op procedurally generated dungeon-crawler. Major classic RPG characteristics will be a must in the design.
