Just came here to post the same - very interesting reworking of the framework here

[/url][url=https://github.com/Tixul/NgpCraft_base_template]Tixul/NgpCraft_base_template: clean-room engine modules, custom sound driver integration, hardware-validated core systems, and a modular workflow designed to grow with the broader NgpCraft toolchain

Not entirely sure about the "no code has been copied from an existing framework" disclaimer, but they've certainly done a good job with it

First release of the craft engine here

They are looking for beta testers - people who don't mind bugs and can provide solid feedback

Think a few people here could fit the bill - links are in the github repo

Tried it quickly on linux, the ui works but as the files are generated for windows, it needs to include some "wine" before calling the tools...
I have to watch the tutorial video to test it further...

Sounds good, lets take a look and see how It works

The current beta project link is https://github.com/Tixul/Ngpcraft_Engine

Still a bunch of teething problems, but they're being knocked down pretty quickly - they're pretty responsive on the discord

Wow that's a crazy in-depth sound library to interact with what looks like an absurdly small Z80 driver. I'm interested in learning how so little Z80 code does so much.

I figured a tool like this would come along eventually. I think it's great to open development up to more people, but at the same time it feels like the nitty gritty stuff I've learned is basically going to be obsolete. I hope custom game engines are still competitive. I've been working on 2 different ones. At least I'm coding in C, so my code is relatively portable to other platforms.
