Hey thanks for your comment!
I've been working part time on this project for many years now, but decided in this early January to scope down my project and actually release it as early access.
I do love working with custom engines too, and i've been writing simple 3D engines for something like 20 years. Even if that would never compete with professional and commercial engines, i'm proud of having total control on the engine.
More updates to come, feel free to follow!
