Mystic Engine is a game engine by Tat/ThatRandomGamer, I aim to learn how to make basic game engines with this. Currently only a very basic renderer is implemented,more features to come soon. This engine might be used for some learning projects or game jam stuff, I dont plan to make large scale games with this, nor is that the purpose of this engine. Even after initial batch of features are done, Ill still keep updating this for a long time, adding new and improving pre existing features.
This project uses OpenGL 3.3 (soon to be upgraded to 4.3 which is the max my gpu supports, then 4.5 when I get a new gpu), which is implemented via Glad and GLFW. I also use OpenGl M, a maths library for OpenGl. Vulkan, DX12 Ultimate support is planned. I will be using OpenAL soft as my audio library, will add more stuff later. I will be using my own physics engine(might add support for Bullet but I wanna learn how to make my own).
