Recommended production workflow for editor, build, and target validation.
View All TagsThe goal of Polygon Engine is not only to render a PS1 scene. The goal is for a user to create a game from the editor, validate it, build it, test it, and understand why something fails when it fails.
That is a much harder target than a one-off demo.
The editor and the PS1 runtime should not consume the same data. That is one of the most important architectural decisions in Polygon Engine.
The editor wants readable project files, flexible authoring state, stable GUIDs, import metadata, screenshots, logs, and panels. The PS1 runtime wants compact data, fixed limits, predictable memory, and short disc paths.
