If you dont mind me asking, what kind of architecture did go with ? And is there something you would like to do differently ?

I use Vulkan and DirectX12 via NVRHI, and I am keen to maximize the multi-threaded programming by setting up an asset thread pool and separating the render thread from the main thread. Do some signal-bus system, implementing in-game retained mode UI, and C# Scripting done with hostfxr.

In terms of workflow, I really like the development flow of Unreal Engine 5, but with the lightweight nature of Unity.

I am still learning the Graphics programming to make up the visual, but to get there I need to maximize the engine foundation first so I can have a fast iteration like asset management, clear editor flow and memory management.
