Beyond Hello Triangle – Vulkan Game Engine in Progress

This video showcases one month of focused progress on my Vulkan-based game engine project, designed for Vulkan developers, graphics programmers, game developers, and anyone interested in game engine development. Throughout the video, I walk through key features such as GPU-driven rendering, multisample anti-aliasing (MSAA), texture loading with KTX textures, skybox integration, descriptor indexing for bindless material systems, GLTF model loading, and asynchronous asset streaming using EnkiTS for multithreaded resource management. I also cover early physics engine work, including rigidbody simulation, collision detection, and collision response, along with building a custom UDP-based client-server networking system using Winsock. This devlog offers insights into real-world Vulkan graphics programming, efficient CPU-GPU data transfer, networking architecture for multiplayer games, and scalable multithreaded systems. If you are learning Vulkan, building your own game engine, or interested in low-level graphics and networking programming, you will find valuable ideas here. All the resources I used during development are linked below for deeper learning.
