What does HackerNews think of The-Forge?
The Forge Cross-Platform Rendering Framework PC Windows, Linux, Ray Tracing, macOS / iOS, Android, XBOX, PS4, PS5, Switch, Quest 2
Language:
C++
Oh, I forgot a few major ones:
https://github.com/ConfettiFX/The-Forge was used in No Man's Sky, Hades and Starfield.
https://github.com/jrouwe/JoltPhysics is the physics engine in Horizon Forbidden West.
Great catch! The Wikipedia article for MonoGame lists Hades, but is evidently wrong. Hades used The Forge for graphics. Ctrl/Cmd-F "Hades" on the Github page has some info:
https://github.com/ConfettiFX/The-Forge
The Forge is graphics only; audio, input, etc., have to be handled by something else and Hades used a custom C++ engine apparently.
After searching some more, I came across this: https://github.com/ConfettiFX/The-Forge
It sounds a bit more heavyweight than what I was getting at, but it still makes me hopeful that there's a future for something like this.
