01 — RENDERING
2D. With depth.
Vulkan-powered sprites, dynamic lighting, shadows, particles, and post-processing. Give every pixel a purpose.

01 / THE ENGINE
Everything connects.
Nothing holds you back.
From the first sprite to a world shared with friends. The systems you need, designed to work together.
02 — SCRIPTING
Player.lua LUA
function Player:OnUpdate(dt)
local move = Input.GetAxis("Horizontal")
-- Your next idea starts here.
end Create. Play. Iterate.
Less friction. More flow.
Write gameplay in Lua 5.4. Expose properties in the Inspector and iterate with script hot reload.
03 — MULTIPLAYER
Better, together.
Host, join, or run a dedicated server. Build connected worlds with replication and RPCs over Valve GameNetworkingSockets.

02 / YOUR WORKFLOW
Your tools.
Your way of creating.
Hands on in the editor. Headless in the terminal.
One command system connects it all.
FROM IDEA TO PLAYA place for every
A place for every
part of your world.
A docking workspace with a scene hierarchy, reflected Inspector, tile painter, animation tools, and live particle previews.

AUTOMATE THE REPETITIVEYour terminal.
Your terminal.
The whole engine.
Create entities, run deterministic play-tests, and export games through named commands with validated parameters.
Explore automation →# Discover the command surface
$ FrostEditor help
# Inspect a command's parameters
$ FrostEditor help entity.create
# Query your project's scenes
$ FrostEditor scene.list --project ./MyGame
# Start the local automation server
$ FrostEditor serve --project ./MyGameBUILT FOR HUMAN + AGENTCreative control.
Creative control.
Programmatic reach.
The editor, CLI, and local JSON-RPC server share the same commands. Human-readable JSON and Lua keep projects accessible to your tools.

"jsonrpc": "2.0",
"id": 1,
"method": "entity.create",
"params": {
"scene": "Scenes/Main.fscene",
"name": "Player"
}
}One command model. Three ways to create.
03 / UNDER THE SURFACE
Creative on the outside.
Deliberate underneath.
Native at its core.
C++20, an EnTT entity-component system, and a multithreaded renderer. A considered foundation for your 2D worlds.
Tested as a whole.
Unit tests, deterministic play-tests, and command-line acceptance tests exercise the engine from authoring to export.
Built with a clear direction.
Built for Windows, with Linux and macOS support coming. More platforms for the worlds you want to create.
04 / THE NEXT CHAPTER
