Welcome to Brakeza3D!
Brakeza3D is a simple and powerful cross-platform 2D/3D game engine designed for indie developers and small teams.
It features a clean, component-based architecture, a built-in scene editor, and full Lua scripting support and GLSL shaders, allowing developers to prototype and build games quickly and efficiently.
Purpose of this document
This document is designed for programmers who wish to use Brakeza3D in their own projects. Throughout this documentation, you will find detailed information about how the application works and the features it offers, enabling you to develop amazing things on your own!
This document is currently in BETA. We are continuously working on it.
