Verus Engine is a modern, platform-agnostic 3D game engine. It is developed using C++ and HLSL. It is based on Vulkan and Direct3D 12 graphics APIs. The code is user friendly and well optimized. The engine is intended to be a full-featured solution for making games. It includes modules to handle input, audio, networking and other things. Hence there is no need to search for third-party libraries or write custom code.
