Lead Developer @ Brakeza3D

First of all, thank you.

I want to take a moment to thank everyone who has emailed me and shown so much interest after the latest video about the Brakeza3D 0.26.2 release. The response from the community has been incredibly positive and motivating, and it truly means a lot to see so many people interested, testing the engine, and asking how they can use it or contribute.

About the roadmap​

One of the questions that keeps coming up in messages is:

What is the project's roadmap?

The answer is clear and honest:
The current priority is not to add lots of new features, but to stabilize and consolidate the project.

The main focus right now is:

  • Stabilizing the engine
  • Improving internal consistency
  • Exposing 100% of the engine’s functionality to LUA
  • Properly documenting that API

At the moment, the LUA API is still limited, and before expanding the engine with new capabilities, I want to make sure everything that already exists is:

  • accessible
  • stable
  • documented
  • maintainable

This step is essential to make the project truly usable in the long term.

Priorities for the coming months​

The priority order will be:

  1. Bug fixing
  2. Documenting the LUA API and the C++ core
  3. Desired features
  4. Long-term features

This order is intentional. An engine with many features but poor stability or documentation ends up being frustrating for users. I prefer building a solid foundation before accelerating development.

Desired features (mid-term)​

These are some improvements planned that will be implemented progressively:

  • Improve user experience in the interface
  • Enable geometry streaming for Mesh3D objects
  • Add a basic version of node-based geometry shaders

Many of these ideas come directly from community feedback, which helps a lot when deciding what actually brings value.

Long-term features (or subject to reconsideration)​

There are also deeper evolution paths that require analysis and experimentation before any decision is made:

  • Decouple OpenGL / Create a Vulkan backend
  • Explore alternative scripting language options
  • Change the project's license type

These decisions affect the architecture, philosophy, and long-term direction of the engine, so they will be evaluated carefully and with community feedback.

Thanks again​

To close, I want to repeat the most important thing:
thank you for the interest, feedback, and support.

This project keeps moving forward thanks to you.

Let’s keep going 🚀
