Elysian Shadows

Hello I would like to use this time to show off my 2D engine I have been working on for about 2 years now, just me. The engine is written in C++ with the SDL API, I will be soon impementing OpenGL aswell. So far the engine supports Lua scripts, sprite blitting, text blitting, textbox system, data storage system and xbox 360 controller support. I do not have much to show as I don't really have much art, I do however how videos on youtube which you can view on my channel (Link in signature). I may aswell use this post to update my progress aswell.

The Engine running a space shooter style game made in lua:

Thanks foe reading!

Hi,

your engine seems to be nice. I mean you worked on it realy hard I guess.

I am just at the beginning of such engine. Shame you don't have art... looking forward.

When I read your topic I realize how much still I have to learn. Well at least Lua.. I don't know anything about it and I am pretty sure my engine will need it too.

Allright, wish you good luck with your engine, and show us something when you'll have something to show.

Thanks At the moment I don't see art or sound as a necessity as the engine isn't fully optimized. Good luck with your engine! Lua tutorials are everywhere, it takes about a week to fully learn it

On a side note, I have released a new update video!

Hell, it looks really good

Seriously looking forward for next post.

Lua in week? Seriously? I thought it takes at least a year... Bad expectation :D Okay, I'll try to find some tutorial :D

I have to say,that space invaders game looks exactly like the one I did while I was learning OpenGL :D Brings back good memories.
