C++ / Vulkan runtime. Python is the real development interface.

This is a real editor capture from the 0.3.4 showcase: 65,536 ordinary GameObjects, one mesh, one material, and a RenderStack doing lighting, fog, color, tilt-shift, and MSAA.
A general-purpose game engine. Not a chat box glued onto someone else's editor.
The runtime is C++17 and Vulkan. Gameplay, components, editor tools, assets, and render setup are written in Python 3.12.
This tree is 0.3.7. It runs on Windows x64. Android, Web, and Linux Players are not out yet. There is no bundled PyTorch stack either.
- Scenes, components, physics, audio, UI, animation, particles, prefabs
- Vulkan Forward / Forward+ / Deferred, PBR, RenderGraph, RenderStack
- Hub, installer, and standalone Windows Player builds
- Plugins, same idea as Unity packages
MCP is no longer welded into the engine. It is the official default plugin infernux/mcp. New projects include it. Turn it off or uninstall it if you do not want it.
In 0.3.7, animation-only FBX files can drive a matching skinned model without geometrically guessing joint correspondence; Assimp pivot helpers are handled, while incompatible rigs fail explicitly.
An Infernux plugin is an InxPackage. Drop a .inxpkg, point at a folder, paste a GitHub URL, or install from the official list.

Runtime code and regular assets go into a Player build. Editor scripts stay in the Editor.
Download the Windows x64 installer from GitHub Releases and let InfernuxHub manage engine versions.
From source you need Windows 10/11 x64, Python 3.12+, Vulkan SDK 1.3+, CMake 3.22+, Visual Studio 2022, and MSVC v143:
