Forever Engine - A Zig Game Engine For Now and the Future

Quick Rundown:

  • No GenAI
  • Largest plaform support
  • Long-term development
  • Zero system dependencies
  • Easy to use API

Do note that progress will be slow. This is a marathon, not a sprint. :)

If you are someone recovering from GenAI use, welcome. You are at the right place.

Values & Rationale

Sorted by importance.

  • Enjoying the process: The ends follow from the means. If you have no fun making a game, the players will feel that.
  • Long-lasting & Stable: After spending 8 years rewriting the same things over and over again, enough.
  • Performance: If it runs poorly, it doesn't matter how many features you have, because nobody can enjoy them.
  • Simplicity in usage: User-facing complexity ruins enjoyment.
  • Community: It's more fun with like-minded individuals!
  • Utility: The number of features and target platforms.
  • Correctness: Bugs and lack of testing sucks.
  • Reusable & Decoupled: Benefiting the rest of the zig ecosystem by making parts of the code reusable.
  • Productivity / Time to result: While important, it is last because enjoyment is what truly matters in life. We are making games, after all!

Zig Version

We try to stay on the latest stable. Currently: 0.16.0

Interaction Rules

  • No GenAI outputs of any kind. There's too much beauty in every one of us to waste it on the averaging machine.
  • No transphobia, racism, bigotry, etc. Sponsored by the Gay Agenda Turbo Giga Trans
  • Always respect each other. We are all here to enjoy our time and do this for free and for each other.
