Valthorne

https://github.com/tehnewb/Valthorne

Valthorne is a 2D game engine named after a concept project I've been imagining since last year but wanted to build an engine before I worked on it. This has been in development since October but didn't put it on GitHub until January 2026. At it's current state, Valthorne can technically create a full 2D game, but I'm still working on systems that I believe will make it a full-fledged game engine. There will be a wiki posted on GitHub eventually and a website created for Valthorne as soon as I'm satisfied with the progress!

Here are features currently implemented

• Audio
  • Ogg, Wav, Mp3
• Texture rendering
  • Batching, Shaders, Regions, NinePatch
• Particle system
• Geometry support
  • This will be updated to use shaders instead of fixed-function, but the system itself for collision detection and area are perfect.
• UI system
  • I'm still developing UI elements, but the system is useable
• Viewports
• Cameras
• Font drawing
  • TTF, OTF, and whatever else STB fonts supports 
  • This also includes shadowing and outlining
  • Thinking about adding support for AngelFont
• Animations
• Event System
• Easy to use Keyboard, Mouse, and Window classes
