Hello! Not sure if it's of interest, but I've been developing a
3D game and engine in D for a few years, and finally have a
demo up on Steam for anyone interested in poking around
(Windows only unfortunately).
- All code (engine and game) written in D. Shaders in HLSL.
External libraries used for some subsystems (eg. PhysX, FMOD)
- Custom 3D DX11 renderer using PBR + IBL
- Supports mirror rendering, with hundreds of simultaneous
mirrors and recursive mirrors (passing seamlessly through
mirrors is a core game mechanic)
- Asset burning/cooking system for textures, geometry,
materials, and shaders. All asset types support hotswapping.
- Flexible code hotswapping, by putting 99% of the game and
engine in a DLL
- Scrappy in-game level editor that supports editing during
gameplay
Since I'm building the game as a commercial project I haven't
released source code, but plan to open source it after the game
releases. Happy though of course to answer any questions, share
code snippets, techniques, general experiences, etc.

Nice, experience is quite smooth.
But it does feel a bit like a tech demo. I want to know why I am
trying to get out of this wizard home. Maybe he is also walking
around here and I need to hide my movement from him as well later
in the game :)
