Esoterica Engine
An MIT-licensed prototype game engine framework for education, R&D, and building custom engines.
What is Esoterica Engine?
Esoterica Engine is an MIT-licensed prototype game engine framework that provides core systems like serialization, resource management, and animation for building custom game engines. It serves as a technology demonstrator and educational tool, offering references for implementing AAA-level features such as reflection and hybrid actor-ECS architectures. The project is designed for experimentation, research, and learning rather than stable production use.
Game engine developers, researchers, educators, and students interested in understanding or building game engine technologies, particularly those focused on animation, physics, and resource systems.
Developers choose Esoterica for its comprehensive reference implementations of advanced engine systems, open-source MIT licensing, and focus on education and R&D, making it a unique starting point for custom engine projects.
