In plain words

A Faux3D Game Engine is a graphics engine created as a personal project and launched in 2021. It enables developers to create games with three-dimensional visual effects using two-dimensional rendering techniques. The engine is designed for indie game creators and hobbyists looking to build faux 3D games without the complexity of traditional 3D engines. It provides the core tools needed to design, render, and deploy games with a distinctive visual style.

    Hi all This has been my hobby project for quite a few years now It started as a small engine to serve as a sandbox to try out new 3d graphics ideas After adding many features through out the years and re-writing the entire engine a few times, this is the latest state It currently supports loading models with animations, textures, lights, shadow maps, normal maps, and some other goodies I've also recently added voxel raymarching as an alternative renderer, along with a fun physics simulation :)
