Molten Engine Molten started as spare-time engine project, which I eventually intend to use to develop my own games without relying on other engines. Hopefully you'll find a use for it too!

While parts of this project will inevitably be a classic case of re-inventing the wheel, I'm treating it as a chance to gain more experience in the area of game engine development.

Third-Party Libraries

A special thanks to each of these great libraries, without which Molten wouldn't exist in it's current form:

  • Silk.NET - C# Bindings for DirectX 11/12, OpenGL, Vulkan, Assimp, OpenCL, OpenAL and OpenXR
  • SharpDX - Source for some Molten.Math types
  • Magick.NET - Extensive image library for .NET
  • JSON.NET - JSON serialization
