Hey everyone, It has been two years since I began rewriting my game engine, and while development has been slow, it has been steady. In this post, I want to share the current status of the Untold Engine. What is the Untold Engine? One significant improvement in the new Untold Engine is its documentation.

Last week, I wrote an article about making my renderer more user-friendly. But my main objective is to add Ray-Tracing to the renderer. If you haven't had a chance to read any of my previous two articles, here are some videos to catch you up. This week, I decided to work on the Lights User-Interface. Some bugs need fixing.

Godot uses a considerably different approach to rendering (and rendering abstraction) than other, popular, game engines. This document was written in hopes to find more developers that would like to help us write rendering code, as it explains the overall design. This may change in the future, though.
