That looks incredibly good for a solo high school project. I mean it looks great period, but you must be a pretty special programmer to have made that solo as a high schooler. props!


Thanks. To be transparent, I started it in high school but finished recently (started it at 16 and I am 22 now)

Personally I wouldn’t recommend anyone rolling their own engine


On the contrary, I would recommend everyone to try and make a game engine. Through my teens and university years I tried many types (3D, 2D, visual novel...) and it's an awesome learning experience. Of course, for a real project that you want to actually finish, that's a different story


Hahaha well yes, for learning it’s great but for shipping something it’s awful.

It’s not even the time it takes, there is a lot of compatibility issues that need to be dealt with that are overwhelming


lol I sorta figured as much. That level of dedication to a single project is completely beyond my comprehension, very impressive.
