Your project sounds interesting as well. Do you have a social channel or GitHub for this project? Or is there something I can follow to be updated when you release it?

I'd love to learn more about what you're working on as I've been wanting to integrate shadeup with existing game engines like unreal/unity but realizing it would be a massive undertaking.

I will warn that it's mostly been rewritten at this point, but most changes haven't made it to the repo due to being held up by my current employer's legal team. Most of the code is also poorly written due to it mostly being written during half asleep/burned out state. With all the "don't judge me to hard"'s out of the way, https://gitlab.com/Cieric/gellang

I don't currently have plans to integrate with an existing game engine, just my own. I have however considered in the past integrating with Godot, so that would be my first target if I do ever attempt it.

I also was assuming no one would use my project professionally so the idea was to be a superset of glsl so any glsl code could be pasted into a script and be compiled without any modifications. That would aid in debugging gpu code in an actual debugger without needing to rewrite it.

Once all the paper work is finished additional updates should start rolling out again since it would just be reviewing the new changes not everything again. Hope your expectations are in line, I'm not trying to under or over sell my project. I was just wanted to fix my own gripes with the projects of the time.

My startup has been working on WebGPU support for Unreal Engine 5 for the past several years, and we've already achieved multiple demos that will be going live relatively soon.
Drop a link! I'd be interested to check it out
