This is a short shooter game demonstrating some parts of the R-Cube engine. Some features of the R-Cube engine include: Robust client-server networking architecture, with reliable delivery and the potential for linear interpolation, prediction, and any other type of entity synchronization to be plugged in on the game code side. Completely threaded out with a highly efficient job system. Game logic, sound, rendering, asset streaming, procedural geometry transforms, and more are all performed concurrently on up to 16 threads. Numerous scalable, highly optimized lighting models, including support for per pixel lighting volumes, stencil shadows (with automated static optimizations), shadow maps, and lightmaps. An easily extendable texture shader system allows new effects and single-pass texture combinations to be easily created without the need for new code. Extendable modeling and animation system, with a block-based format to allow other formats to be easily converted over. Supports weighted models and skeletal animation, as well as custom preprocessed visibility data embedded in the model itself and any number of other custom model blocks - all geometry rendered is a version of the central model format with custom blocks to suit its specific needs. Numerous built-in editors, for modifying levels, animations, sprites, and more. Integrated clipping and physics systems, with optional support for Novodex (compiled out of this build). Robust sound system, which supports direct feedback to game code and rendering effects while maintaining network compliance. A special DirectShow path is provided for playing music in proprietary formats. A particle system, projected decals and textures, a menu scripting system, a built-in level and sprite editor (with static radiosity/photon mapping), and abstracted game object formats through external files, among other things, all create a friendly environment for quick and convenient game development. Server logic is abstracted into its own module to make programming with network compatibility as sure-fire and convenient as possible. |
