For my honors senior thesis project at MSU, I built a game engine from scratch based on the requirements for a idea I had. The game is designed to be relaxing, it's not about killing enemies or solving puzzles, it's about exploring the environment and moving forward. Building the engine had a few challenges, including:

• Developing a physically based rendering engine
• Building a lightmapping system on top of Embree
• Developing a Blender plugin that can be used to edit levels via a network connection to the engine

The engine is written entirely in C++, and the source code is available on Github under the MIT license, and in the game folder. I did a brief presentation on its development, the slides are also available in the game folder.
