AterraEngine is a data-driven game engine built in C# using Raylib.cs for rendering. Designed with simplicity and flexibility in mind, it supports modding capabilities out of the box, allowing users to easily modify and extend the engine’s functionality.

• Data-Driven Architecture: The engine is structured to load game data from external files, making it easier to create, modify, and manage game content.
• Mod-Friendly: Mods can be loaded dynamically, making AterraEngine ready for user-created content with no additional overhead.
• Raylib.cs Rendering: Leverages the lightweight and powerful Raylib library for 2D and eventual 3D (on the roadmap, but not natively implemented yet) rendering, enabling fast and efficient graphics.
• Customizable Game Logic: Game developers can easily inject custom behaviors and systems, thanks to the engine’s modular design.

AterraEngine is built around a flexible data-driven design. Key components include:

• Entity Component System (ECS): A custom built ECS framework, AterraCore.Nexities manages game objects as entities composed of reusable components.
• Rendering Engine: Powered by Raylib.cs to provide efficient 2D and 3D rendering.
• Dependency Injection: The entire engine, even the ECS framework, is built around dependency injection, making it easy to extend or override core game behavior through plugins.
• Plugins and loadorder: Allowing players to define their own load order of plugins built by the gamedevs or modders.
