From Frustration to Innovation
Tsar was conceived out of necessity and frustration. In 2022, we were deeply immersed in Unity for our game development needs, but our experience was increasingly unsatisfactory. Although the Unity code from 2012 was solid, newer versions seemed to introduce more issues than they resolved. The so-called LTS (Long-Term Support) versions were riddled with bugs, frequent crashes, and excessive resource consumption. To make matters worse, the physics systems were not optimized at all, lacking both multithreading support and efficient asynchronous operations. Unity’s inability to handle modern multi-core CPUs effectively compounded these problems, leading to a less than optimal development experience.
Faced with the limitations of our hardware and the resource-heavy demands of Unreal Engine, we realized a change was needed. This drove us to create Tsar—an engine designed to be both powerful and streamlined. Tsar combines flexibility and efficiency to offer a game development solution that is fast and compact, tailored to meet the demands of modern game developers.
As of Q3 2024, Tsar includes:
- C++ Scripting with Custom Reflection
- Vulkan for Rendering
- Multi-Threaded Runtime
- Full Integration of Box2D v3.0
We're excited to continue evolving Tsar and expanding its capabilities to meet the needs of game developers everywhere.
How do I get Tsar?
Tsar is currently under development. We plan to eventually offer Tsar for free as pre-built binaries for all supported platforms. This means anyone can create and publish games and applications using Tsar at no cost.
Future Plans and Direction
Our mission with Tsar is to empower creators by providing a game engine that eliminates concerns about taxes, royalties, or revenue cuts. We're dedicated to developing a versatile tool that excels in game development, visualization, and cinematography, enabling you to focus on bringing your creative vision to life.
Looking ahead, we're thrilled to enhance Tsar with a range of groundbreaking features. Expect robust 3D physics, Dynamic Fluid Animations, Advanced RenderGraph Capabilities, Realistic Physically-Based Rendering, sophisticated Audio Mixing, broad Multi-OS Support, and extensive Parallelism for improved performance. We're also excited to explore and integrate innovative ideas from our community, making sure Tsar evolves in line with your needs and creativity.
Stay tuned for exciting updates as we continue to push the limits of what Tsar can achieve and transform the way you create and develop!
