Building this engine from the ground up was a rewarding exercise in engine design and development.

The engine is written in C++ with portability and flexibility in mind. As such, the game compiles and runs on Windows, Apple iOS and even on the web using Emscripten!

• Fully asset-driven, assets are uniquely identifiable and dependency information is automatically maintained.
• From Low-level to High-Level application code; the engine is layered through libraries.
• Entity/Component driven design.

Editor Features:

• Integrated Model Importer that can import MAYA, Sketchup and Blender Collada models.
• Integrated Level Editor with Per-Component Editing Tools
• .NET Class Reflection can access the C++ classes; for example, the PropertyGrid control can edit assets, and properties can be bound to WPF forms.

Vakkers! (a work title) runs on our Echelon Engine, targeting smartphones and tablets. Developed together with Remco Moll (Game Design, Art & Animation).

The prototype demo can be played on this website and does not require any plugins, provided you are using a recent internet browser (such as Mozilla Firefox or Google Chrome), and runs within the safety sandbox of your browser! The C++ codebase has been compiled down to Javascript using the Emscripten Project. From a development point of view, it's Yet Another Platform to support :)
