Me and my team are working on our own game engine, it has been under development for about 3 years of steady work and is capable of running a quick game my team threw together(the cheapest NASCAR game you will ever see, lol). But it is still in under development, and has been developed completely from scratch. I will be releasing a beta of it here on my page. Until then I will list some of the features we have added and what we will be adding in the future. Oh, I almost forgot, It's called the Evolved Engine.

NOTE: We are developing this engine for serious mature games, not blood and gore filled, but a game like Half Life 2 for instance. As such we are extremely strict about the use of our engine, not in an aggressive way, just that we take pride in our engine and don't want it to get a bad name by the games it powers.
