Influence is an open-source game engine built entirely in C# with a vision to cater to both hobbyists and advanced developers. Influence is still in its infancy, and while you can't create projects with it just yet, your interest and contributions can help shape its development journey.
The goal of Influence is to be a versatile engine capable of handling everything from classic 2D games like The Legend of Zelda to expansive voxel worlds akin to Cubeworld. We aim to provide a feature-rich platform that supports all the main components necessary for game development.
