I'm (slowly) working on my own game largely inspired by a previous version of this engine. The repo with the previous version:

- [Lallassu/Qake: Qake voxel-engine demo](https://github.com/Lallassu/Qake)

I was really floored by how much functionality was possible with what seems like so little code.

There needs to be more of this. I know how hard it is to work on a stylized video game all by yourself: just remember its a marathon not a sprint so pace yourself and keep at it! <3

Thanks! This really is the best sentiment for personal passion projects. Tho an occasional sprint can be fun too!

This 'isn't my first rodeo'. I've been partially implementing ambitious software projects for years!

I'm glad to hear that someone uses my work!

Perhaps you have something to share, a demo/screenshots? :)

Thanks for the work!

I had started an earlier version in Unity but I really dislike fighting what feels like a giant extraneous system. I was blown away by your demo; in particular the environmental damage. You 'sold' me on writing something similar. I'm probably yak shaving now but it feels so much more right to be programming instead of fighting Unity.
