Jango Engine

2026-01-24.18-37-11.1.1.mp4

📢 Announcement

I'm excited to announce a new game engine I will begin developing ! After careful consideration, I've decided to focus on Vulkan rather than pursuing full Metal support.

Important: The windows-dev branch currently provides out-of-the-box Windows support. If you'd like to fork this project and continue Metal support, please feel free! Reach out if you have questions about the architecture, event system, stub generation, or layered design.
