• Hot-reloadable DXC shader compilation pipeline with shader cache
• Physics system for object selection and rigid body simulation
• Crash handling and dumping for both C++ and structured exceptions
• Aftermath integration for GPU crash handling and crash dumps

1.0 - DX11 version

• Simple scene rendering, forward renderer, deferred renderer
• Phong lighting model
• Engine and editor separated to a DLL and EXE
• Custom RTTI and memory manegament for resources like scene objects, assets, shaders etc.
