APE Tech


APE Tech logo.

APE (Another Portal Engine) Tech (previously known as Yin) is a 3D game engine I've been working on. It has been developed as an option for people perhaps familiar with more traditional engines such as id Software's Quake or Valve's Source Engine, aiming for simplicity and approachability, while remaining flexible.

This engine is being developed for fun. This means support will be limited, and while bug reports are appreciated, you should expect to be on your own.

APE is primarily written in C23 across multiple libraries that are used as part of a shell application. This allows you to integrate APE into your own tools in addition to using it just for games.
