Hello! Not sure if it's of interest, but I've been developing a
3D game and engine in D for a few years, and finally have a
demo up on Steam for anyone interested in poking around
(Windows only unfortunately).
- All code (engine and game) written in D. Shaders in HLSL.
External libraries used for some subsystems (eg. PhysX, FMOD)
- Custom 3D DX11 renderer using PBR + IBL
- Supports mirror rendering, with hundreds of simultaneous
mirrors and recursive mirrors (passing seamlessly through
mirrors is a core game mechanic)
- Asset burning/cooking system for textures, geometry,
materials, and shaders. All asset types support hotswapping.
- Flexible code hotswapping, by putting 99% of the game and
engine in a DLL
- Scrappy in-game level editor that supports editing during
gameplay
Since I'm building the game as a commercial project I haven't
released source code, but plan to open source it after the game
releases. Happy though of course to answer any questions, share
code snippets, techniques, general experiences, etc.

I'm impressed. Are you using DirectX "11 on 12" or standard
DirectX11? Did you need to avoid the GC at all? I imagine the GC
could ruin your framerate if you're not careful. Thanks for
sharing and congrats on finishing (close enough) your game.
