Make sure to install Vulkan SDK 1.4.321.1 here, and the latest version of mono.
Also make sure to install .NET Framework 4.7.2.
To build and install dependencies, run the install-dependencies.sh script using the following command line:
./install-dependencies.sh [configuration]
There are currently 2 options for configuration, Debug and Release.
Run the generateprojects.bat file to run the premake scripts and generate the visual studio project files.
Open GloryEngine.sln and build the whole solution.
Run the editor by running Glorious.
Run the luncher/hub by running GloriousLauncher.
Run the runtime by running RuntimeTestApplication, make sure to package the Sponza demo through the editor before running this.
Glory currently only builds on Windows, I am working on a cross platform build system for Linux.
The current version of Glory is under a Personal Use Only license.
This will change in the near future to allow commercial usage under limitations.
