A collection of small repositories which can be cobbled together into a sort-of game engine.
Developed from the (monolithic) engine built for Devteptober 2023.
Each repository is intended to be an entirely stand-alone library with as few dependencies as possible (ideally zero beyond a C compiler and make) to maximize portability and protect against third-party developers abandoning packages, changing them so significantly they become different packages or adding new license requirements after too many experiences with all of the above.
This concept of minimal dependencies extends to preferring software solutions over hardware acceleration as it usually isn't necessary at all for smaller games. Graphics hardware vendors in particular are responsible for a disproportionate number of bugs, even for large and experienced teams.
The following repositories are currently available:
| Repository | Status | Description |
|---|---|---|
| samples | Stable | C library to sample audio. |
| triangles | Incomplete | C library to draw triangles. |
| lines | Incomplete | C library to draw lines. |
| wav-to-c | Incomplete | Command-line utility to convert WAV files to C files. |
| tga-to-c | Incomplete | Command-line utility to convert TGA files to C files. |
| obj-to-c | Incomplete | Command-line utility to convert OBJ files to C files. |
| math | Incomplete | C library for common mathematical operations. |
| win32 | Incomplete | Win32 application host. |
| navigation | Incomplete | C library for navigation meshes. |
A game being built to prototype Indifference Engine without committing to a large project pre-debut.
A homage to the worlds of PSX survival horror games which plays a little bit like a homage to PSX skateboarding games.
Currently aiming to have a 1 skater, 1 park demo available for the 20th of February 2026.
There are currently no plans to develop the game beyond that demo. The tools used to build it will be used to work on new projects from that point onwards.
A replacement for Virtual Stage 2, being re-written from the ground up using Indifference Engine.
The goal is to retain the Kinect-driven full-body tracking capabilities, while adding support for:
A big architectural change is the splitting of the renderer captured by OBS out from all integrations, which will forward updates via UDP. The purpose of this is to twofold:
It is hoped this will be ready for the 20th of February 2026.
The Unity-based application currently used for live streaming with full body tracking.
Leverages the Kinect for Xbox 360 to get a rough "pose" from marker-less capture (hip and shoulder locations, arm and leg extensions and directions, head orientation) then procedurally generates animation (e.g. eyes, fingers, reconstructs knee and elbow positions). This allows for recovery from partial loss of tracking (e.g. a hand behind the user's back) and for the generation of animation not captured at all by the Kinect. Unusually for VTubing software, it also supports multiple simultaneous users. Additionally supports the SL/SR buttons on any connected JoyCons for various hotkeys (accessory selection, camera angle, etc.).
While this application is closed source, some of the logic used for full body tracking has been made public in its own repository.
A two month experiment with streaming game development from scratch with a custom engine.
The idea was to have a simple point-and-click adventure game about an elderly man who is approached by an angel and required to complete his "civic duty" of choosing which of the living below are to receive a mysterious "judgement".
While the project ultimately came nowhere near to a completed product, much of the engine built ended up as part of Indifference Engine.
