In the making : Project FGL - Windows Version Complete!

1st Image - Profiling the Performance

2nd Image - The "Sample Project" Executable

3rd Image - OS and performance testing (Using a genuine Intel Pentium)


At last, i have finally finished building a complete "SDK" for myself!

For those who don't know what i'm talking about (And also as a quick recap) : Project FGL is my newest personal Game Engine made entirely in C with OpenGL, making sure to only use the vanilla Windows Libraries

The thing is playable at 60 FPS on any computers built after the year 2012, with insanely slim requirements for the RAM and CPU, which allows it to run on any Windows OS between W2K (Windows 2000) up to whatever the newest version of Windows is at the time you're reading this

It can do graphics perfectly fine, as well as Audio and Keyboard/Mouse controls

I made sure that every possible resource such as Sprites and Audio will be embedded directly inside the EXE file itself, these can still be accessed, however you will need to use Resource Hacker (...As well as a tool to decompress the actual Sprite Data, if you really want to...)


So now that i've made myself a game engine specifically for my own needs, does this mean i'll abandon Godot (And by extension, every other game engine) altogether..?

Yeaaah, No...Obviously, the Engine itself is cool and all, however, not only is Godot always gonna be more convenient to make games (In my current situation), Project FGL doesn't come close to a few notable parts of modern game engines... (Not to mention, porting it all to Linux, and potentially Android can also be a bit of waste of time at times...)


Lmk what you all think! ^^

Thank you so much everyone for all the attention and support!

I wish you all an early Merry Christmas, and happy holidays!

i may have accidentally figured out how to disable my gpu's vsync in nvidia's control panel

i never thought i would ever see 1k FPS in any circumstance

(Also, slight sneak peek at a side project)

Starting up 2026 with a potential story-based game being in the works!

At the moment, it doesn't look too exciting, mostly because i hadn't fully decided how the story will go, however i'll still try to put as much as i possibly can think of!

Follow-up on the console project from my previous post : Mock Design of the UI File Explorer

(More technical info in the Article)

Thank you @Animefan7765 for the (three) sticker packs!

I have made a little side project out of boredom, mostly inspired by games like "sand:box"

I feel like my pixel artstyle had most definitely improved compared to back when i was just messing around, it isn't stunning, but it's definitely better than how it looked before

1st image - Textures Made basically 3 days ago

2nd Image - About a year ago

i may be going through an artstyle change at the moment

this will likely be my new pfp for 2026, i love how i drew him

Merry Christmas, everyone! ^^

(likely early or late depending on the timezone, currently it's Dec 25 for me)
