Vulture Engine

This is a small WIP data-oriented game engine, being developed for mostly educational and experimental purposes. Currently, Vulture Engine is in its earliest steps of development, but our team is working hard on researching and analyzing existing practices in game engine development in order to build a modern engine, full of features and easy to use, not sacrificing the performance.
