Just double-click and run.</p> <h2> What makes it different? </h2> <ul> <li>🔴 <strong>Vulkan 1.2 renderer</strong> — No OpenGL fallback, pure GPU power</li> <li>✅ <strong>Standalone .exe</strong> — Native AOT compilation, no .NET needed</li> <li>🎮 <strong>Full editor</strong> — Project manager, scene editor, inspector</li> <li>📄 <strong>MIT License</strong> — Completely free forever</li> <li>✏️ <strong>C# scripting</strong> — Write your game logic in modern C#</li> </ul> <h2> Tech Stack </h2> <ul> <li>C# with .NET 8 + Native AOT</li> <li>Vulkan 1.2 via Silk.NET</li> <li>Windows Forms for the editor UI</li> </ul> <h2> Current Status </h2> <p>Still in early development — the architecture is solid and I'm building out the rendering pipeline. The website is already live!</p> <p>🔗 <a href="https://winber.netlify.app/" rel="noopener noreferrer">https://winber.netlify.app/</a></p> <h2> Why am I building this? </h2> <p>I wanted to learn how game engines actually work under the hood. Instead of just using Unity or Godot, I decided to build my own from scratch. It's been challenging but incredibly rewarding.</p> <p>Would love any feedback or advice from the community! 🙏</p> <h1> gamedev #csharp #vulkan #dotnet #beginners </h1> csharp
