BusEngine v0.4.2

BusEngine is a high-performance game engine built from the ground up in C#. My philosophy is simple: every function undergoes rigorous testing and optimization. When existing libraries don't meet my performance standards, I develop custom alternatives from scratch to ensure peak efficiency.

Current Capabilities (v0.4.0.5):

• Performance: Features a stress-test with 500,000 active cubes.
• Test Hardware: These results were achieved on a modest setup, proving the engine's extreme efficiency:
  • CPU: Athlon II x4 645
  • GPU: Nvidia GT 1030 2GB GDDR5 ASUS Phoenix
  • RAM: 4 GB
  • Disk: HDD SMR
• Platform: Currently optimized for Windows 7+ (x64) using the OpenGL API.
• Open Source: I value transparency. The release source code is available on my GitHub: github.com/BuslikDrev/BusEngine. Feel free to inspect the code or examine the binaries using any .NET decompiler (like dnSpy).

Important Security Notice: This project does not yet have a paid digital certificate ($500/year), which is currently unaffordable for me as an independent developer. You may need to disable your antivirus or add an exception to run the executable.

Support the Developer: BusEngine will not reach its full release without your support. Developing this engine is a full-time commitment that demands everything I have. Your contributions do more than just fund a $500 developer certificate — they directly support my daily life: keeping the lights on, providing for my family and the animals in my yard, and ensuring our safety. Every bit of support ensures I can continue focusing 100% on this project. Every dollar counts.
