Demystifying game engine development process

Project Info

Introduction

The Isetta Engien Project team is demystifying game engine development process for junior developer by making a game engine in C++ and documenting the entire thought & decision-making process. Along the way, we are also conducting interviews with industry professionals, and publishing the edited interview in text on our website.

Notable Contributions

1. We held a game jam where participants all use the Isetta Engine!
2. We wrote 16 dev blogs that's 75,000 words long in total!
3. We published a book of our interviews with seasonsed engine programmers!
4. Engine implementation:
   1. Some memory allocators: stack allocator, pool allocator, templated pool allocator, single frame allocator, and double buffered allocator
   2. Objet handles and a naive memory defragmentation system
   3. Scene hierarchy and the transform component
   4. A dynamic AABB tree to accelerate collision detection
   5. The audio module using FMOD low-level API
   6. Developed a demo LAN twin stick shooter game with the Isetta Engine
