Squid
A C# retained-mode UI framework for creating realtime GUIs in games and 2D/3D applications, independent of rendering engine.
What is Squid?
Squid is a C# retained-mode UI framework for creating user interfaces in games and realtime 2D/3D applications. It solves the problem of building performant, flexible GUIs without being tied to a specific rendering engine, allowing developers to integrate it with their preferred graphics stack.
Game developers and engineers working on realtime applications in C# who need a lightweight, engine-agnostic UI system with full rendering control.
Developers choose Squid for its retained-mode architecture, ease of integration, and complete freedom over rendering, making it ideal for custom game engines or applications where standard UI libraries are too restrictive.
