- For
- Game-engine developers exploring entity-tree architectures
- Worth noticing
- It requires ray-tracing hardware; the homepage explicitly says machines without it are unsupported.
Field notes
The file layout separates the entity tree in project.tproj, configuration in project.tconf, scripts in .tns files, and levels in .tnm files, with compiled levels using .tnmc. The page distinguishes release builds, which it says use LLVM ahead-of-time compilation, from a VM mode intended for editor use and mods. Its stated rendering target excludes machines without ray-tracing support.
