Crown is a general-purpose and data-driven game engine, written in orthodox C++ with a minimalistic and data-oriented design philosophy in mind. Every aspect of the game is controlled through text configuration files. Before shipping, configuration files are compiled to efficient platform-specific binary blobs. Data in memory is organized to achieve the maximum performance possible on every platform. Every game asset is hot-reloadable, code included. Evaluate modifications and adjustments on-the-fly without having to reboot the game every time. Runs and looks equally well both on Linux and on Windows. Designed to be as fail-safe as possible to never lose your work if crashes should occur. ...
