Howdy, folks! I'm looking for folks interested in helping me work on a game engine project.

I'm the founder of Elaztek Studios and, thus far, the sole developer of the Blamite Game Engine. I've been working on it semi-consistently since 2019, and as much as I'd love to, I've yet to find anyone willing to join me on this endeavor.

The engine is intended to be a sort of modern blam!/Halo engine - though to be clear, this is NOT a reverse-engineering project of any sort. No MS/Bungie/343i code is or can be used. Ideally, it'll have the general look and feel of Halo's engine, while still being an entirely brand new game engine under the hood - something that can both be familiar to to modders and other folk who have worked with Halo's engines over the years, while also providing an alternative, modern, unified editor that will be more familiar to those used to newer engines.

Currently, the engine has a rough groundwork for game content, several editing tools in various states of completion, and 3D rendering using OGRE 2.3. There's also a variety of other various backend technical work that's been done as well (game tick, event system, logging, config, etc). The engine and its editing kit are primarily in C++. As of right now, this will not be a paid position - as it's largely a hobby project. As such, I don't expect or require many hours per week - I just want some folks who can semi-regularly aid in the project's development.

I should also note that while the engine is very Halo-inspired, pre-existing knowledge of Halo (or its Editing Kit) is not required (though it's obviously a nice bonus).

If you're interested in joining the team, feel free to DM me on Discord (haloman30#8798). If you'd like to learn more about the engine, please check the links below:
