NeneEngine is an experimental game engine built with modern C++ practices by BennySpace (Vlasov Daniil) and Wesdmond (Timofey Shabanov). It features an Entity-Component-System (EnTT), a flexible game state machine, data-driven scene serialization in JSON, and DirectX 12 rendering through Diligent Engine.
- Win32 multi-window application framework with per-window input focus
- DirectX 12 renderer powered by Diligent Engine
- ECS architecture based on EnTT with gameplay, camera, primitive control, and render systems
- Game state machine with Play / Pause / Menu flow
- JSON-based engine and scene configuration
- Scene serialization and loading from JSON
- Runtime-configurable windows and background color via
assets/config/engine.json - Hierarchical transforms with parent-child scene relationships
- Built-in primitive rendering for Line, Triangle, Quad, and Cube entities
- Assimp-based mesh loading pipeline with ResourceManager integration
- GPU mesh upload path with indexed rendering for loaded meshes
- Free-look camera controller with mouse, WASD movement, and Shift acceleration
- Interactive test primitive controls for movement, scaling, and rotation
- Async logging with spdlog
