Beetle: Custom Racing Game Engine

For block C of my second year at BUAS I worked together with a team where we built a cross-platform game engine and racing demo in C++. I focused on engine systems and the content pipeline:

• Blender-to-engine content pipeline including custom properties, glTF extras parsing, prefabs, and DDS texture conversion
• Input mapping system supporting keyboard/mouse/gamepad with configurable axis remapping
• ECS-based 3D sound system backed by FMOD
• Spline system using cubic Bézier interpolation, exported from Blender via custom glTF extensions
• Spring arm camera system
• UI framework built on the existing ECS

Runs on PC and Steam Deck (Windows & Linux).
