The main idea behind this project is inspired by rapid prototype development. This method requires you to develop your prototype app or game as quickly as possible. If you can do that, you gain an advantage in exploring new ideas, game mechanics, and other creative concepts.
I decided to create a highly modular framework that others can use for developing prototypes. Developers can either continue using this framework or easily migrate their projects to larger game engines like Unreal Engine or Unity.
