Foxtrot Engine 2D

Foxtrot Engine 2D is a 2D game engine based on DirectX 11 for Windows. It includes Foxtrot Editor which allows users to create & modify scene data, and Foxtrot Engine which executes the produced game based on those data. Scene data are stored as a “.chunk” file, which is a file structure that describes the game data and the required resources.

Foxtrot Engine has been developed by JungBae Park from GooCat Studio for the game in development, “SPARED”.

List of Features

• A component-based structure that allows to create custom Actors
  

• Various Components to create behaviors for Actors
    - Sprite renderer
    - Tilemap renderer with .csv input
    - Sprite animation
    - Rigidbody simulation based on box2D
    - 2D colliders in basic shapes (e.g. box colliders)
    - User input Management & Moving characters
    - etc.
  

• User-defined Components can be added as “Behavior”s
  

• Create & Modify pre-defined Actors, “Premade”
  (a similar concept to Unity Engine’s “Prefab”)

Plans and Goals

Foxtrot Engine has been developed not only as a portfolio but also as a tool of education to obtain game development experiences. The developer also expects to develop this project until it can produce a finished 2D game title. Here is the list of upcoming features and goals.

  - Artificial intelligence for characters (current WIP)
  - Spine animation renderer
  - Particle system
  - UI testing (this was implemented, but not tested)
  - Establishment of the workflow of or the development routine.
  - Finishing the prototype version of the game, “SPARED”.
