I have this game engine (https://github.com/TurkeyMan/fuji),

pleasing and attractive mountain). It supports (or has
supported)
shit-loads of platforms; I'm a game-engine dev for life, and I
have a
fetish for portability, and niche platform support.
Needless to say, it has had a LOT of time and energy put into
it, and
I would say it's infrastructurally better than most proprietary
commercial game-engines I've worked with (although there are
some
missing features, I just implement what I need), mainly in that
I have
the luxury to aggressively refactor when design decisions
turned out
to be mistakes, and no deadlines to meet.
It is a very good example of what we use in real-world AAA
gamedev.
I would be very, very interested in this. I've been yearning for
something in D that supports some lighter 3D with texturing,
animated sprites, and lighting on both. Something flexible and
light that can also have modules pulled independently for drawing
and sound if possible. Unfortunately, DGame really only supports
2D, and Dash has all its weight behind being a full-featured 3D
engine a la Unity/Unreal.
Would Fuji fit the bill?
