Build games, not demos
Morninghollow is the proving ground. Features are added when they solve real production problems in a real game.
Foundational Rules
Design Principles
These principles guide every decision in Abyssal Engine.
Composition over inheritance
Actors stay light. Behavior is added through Components, Fragments, and services.
Documentation is architecture
Clear, maintained docs are part of the system, not an afterthought.
Public teaches, Internal builds
Public documentation helps users and AI. Internal records protect development history.
Cooperate, don't compete
Abyssal works alongside Unreal, Unity, Godot, and Blender. Native formats remain authoritative.
AI assists creativity
Tools like WingChat and WingsVoice augment human creators without replacing final decisions.
Practical Modularity
Generalize only after a real problem has taught the shape of the module. Small focused systems are preferred over large frameworks.
Core Law
Public documentation teaches the engine. Internal documentation builds the engine.
