Rally Racer First Person Here is the latest game release from my engine. It isn't really anything special though. It's a simple "pole position" type game where you have to make the check points to make time and laps. Basically though, it is used to demonstrate the post proce...

Little Man, Big Axe - A 3rd Person NPR style hack and slash adventure. I wanted to experiment with NPR style but wanted to demo the toon outlining for the most part.

Latest Release for Free Users >>I think if you just used a better text-rendering method<< Ys, right now I use the DirectX9b built in text renderer and it's about time to 'upgrade' to the more common system of using bitmaps. But I'll probably do that in the next eng...

FreeVector 1.4 Released No, it's free. All you have to do is download any game and you have the engine. If you're smart enough to figure it out. However, if you want a book to let you know how to use the engine efficiently then you can pay $19.95 for it. Can you name an aut...
