We are two professional software developers who have the itch to make a game. Not just an itch, either - a real burning sensation, a dire need to make a video game form the ground up, and get good at it. And then make another one.
Seeing as how we'd only be able to work on the game after hours and on weekends, we did what any reasonable programmers would do: we evaluated the different tools and ready-made game engines out there. Then we promptly decided none of them were good enough and decided to roll our own game engine. That's how we found ourselves in this mess, with me documenting our follies so that (hopefully) others wouldn't make the same mistakes.
In all seriousness, we hope to learn a lot by building this engine, with the added bunus of being able to build out an actual game at the end. If anyone reads this blog, that's even better.
Wish us luck!
