This indie action shooter runs on a custom CPU-based software renderer, echoing 90's tech by skipping the graphics card entirely. Developers built it as a coding challenge to hit 60 FPS on modern PCs, delivering a pure FPS with run-and-gun focus. A simple story fades behind nonstop violent, gore-filled combat.
Dream-inspired visuals shape the moody level designs, capturing surreal atmospheres through careful geometry and lighting. Fans of early 90's shooters get a faithful recreation that prioritizes raw gameplay over complexity. Play it on PC to test this bold engine experiment yourself.
First and foremost, this game is an experiment in coding a software renderer. It's an engine that renders the image via CPU, without involving the graphics adapter, much like the 90's games did. I wanted to find out if it's possible to code an engine like that from scratch nowadays, and if it can run at 60 FPS on a modern PC. It was a self-imposed challenge.
Once I finished the engine, I thought I could make a game with it, an FPS like the early shooters from the 90's. I have to say I was quite impressed with them back in the day, and I've been looking to recreate them for a long time. Thus, this game is a 90's FPS. A simplistic story takes a backseat to pure run-and-gun gameplay.
On graphics and visuals: I was creating the visuals based on the imagery from my dreams. I tried to convey the mood and atmosphere of my dreams through level design. I feel like I did a particularly good job on this aspect.
I'd be happy to hear some feedback from you on my humble little game!
