WHY V3
One engine, a wider frontier.
Modern C++
Move to C++23 with a refreshed core, build tooling and production-oriented workflow.
More platforms
Reach ARM desktops, OpenXR devices, mobile, Xbox and WebAssembly from one codebase.
A CLEARER RENDERING PATH
Keep the shader. Change the backend.
Axmol 3 makes the rendering path easier to reason about: one HLSL source flows through axslcc and reaches the backend that fits the target device.
