Mocha is a game engine that aims to (eventually) leverage modern graphics technologies to deliver high-quality visuals. It is equipped with a Vulkan renderer, a C# scripting system, and a hot-loading HTML/CSS user interface solution. In addition, Mocha offers a Jolt physics implementation and a physically-based shading and material system. The engine includes an ImGui-based editor for easy customization.
Key Features
- High-quality visuals using a modern Vulkan 1.3 renderer with support for ray tracing (
VK_KHR_ray_query) - Flexible C# scripting with automatic C++ <-> C# interop bindings
- Customizable user interface using hot-loading HTML/CSS
- Realistic physics simulation with Jolt
- Work-in-progress physically-based shading and material implementation (currently without IBL)
- ImGui-based editor for easy customization and customization
