Day 3 never came. My son and I stopped racing and built a game engine.

In March, my son and I made a bet. 80 days. Build real software. Sell it. Father vs son, shipping every day.

Day 2 ended with four words:

Something has to change.

Then the posts stopped. Here's why.

The race stopped

We'd been racing each other. Breadth against depth. Me knocking on more doors, him polishing one thing until it shone.

Then we noticed something. We have different skills, and we think in different ways. What one of us lacks, the other brings.

And we'd both been making games and game engines for years. Separately.

So we stopped racing and started building together. Day 2 said we had to work smarter. This was it. Synergy turned out to be real.

What we built

Myth Engine.

Myth Engine is a game engine for 2D and 3D games. The games you make can run on the web, on desktop and on mobile. It's built with JavaScript and Babylon.js, and it uses ECS (entity component system), which makes putting a game together feel intuitive and helps games run fast.

You make games in the editor on Windows, with Visual Logic blocks, JavaScript, or both. The editor draws your level with the game's own runtime, so you see it as it will look in the game.

And games to go with it

We didn't just build the engine. We made games with it.

2D and 3D games, shooters, puzzles, platformers, worlds made of blocks and science labs, all made in Myth Engine.

Inside the editor

2D

Move, rotate and scale with the handles or the G, R and S keys.
Split screen, minimaps and cameras that follow the player, with no code.
Tile maps on square, isometric and hex grids.

3D

Blender's axes and keys: Z is up, and G, R and S move, rotate and scale.
Scenes built from sculpted terrain, grass, water and lights.
Havok physics makes objects fall, collide and tumble.

Objects built from components

Every object is built from components that you add and tune. The same Object Editor builds 2D and 3D objects.

Game rules: blocks, code, or both

Game rules are Visual Logic blocks you connect: when something happens, such as a button press, do something. Build a behavior once and attach it to as many objects as you like.

Pause the game right before any block runs, step through it, and watch each object's values change.

JavaScript works instead of blocks or alongside them, with suggestions for your project's own objects and sounds as you type. JavaScript libraries can be added from a catalog, and they're bundled into your game.
