chloe

hi :)

a game engine that whispers, hi bestie, want to render something cute today?

download, darling v0.8.0 → #3a9c

seed.particle / flow-field

RD

render.preset / brushed-metal

webgpu first

a thin, modern path that doesn't apologise for itself. fall back to webgl2 only when the browser insists.

shader graph, no yaml

compose materials with a small node graph that compiles to wgsl in the background. no toolchain, no surprises.

hot reload, every layer

edit the shader, the script, the scene; the running game keeps its state. it just gets prettier.

SM

simulate

physics, but the rhinestones bounce. click anywhere in the sandbox to drop a gem; it will collide with the chamfered walls in real time, dispatched by the same broadphase that runs your shipped game.

2D impulse-based
CCD for fast bodies
→ deterministic across platforms

PL

playground

an early-2000s skinned IM client, except the friend on the other side is a compiler.

no roadmap. no waitlist. just a friend group with a renderer.
