Kitsune Engine - A Vulkan Game Engine

This is a very early build.

Info

• Forward (not Forward+, since less than 5 dynamic lights)
• Burley + GGX
• Overwatch FOV (103deg)
• Overwatch Sensitivity [arg: set sensitivity with -sense ]
• Overwatch Movement
• Simple overlay (fps, crosshair, current settings)
• FPS Limiter (Win32 high-res waitable timer + spin-wait, ~1ms precision)

Immediate Plans

• Convert to ECS Engine (In Progress)

Semi-Immediate Plans

• Fullscreen Exclusive vs Fullscreen Borderless
• Smart check for all display modes\
• Disable unused SLD3 features.

Long Term Plans

• Turn into a simple FPS Aim Trainer (Like Kovaaks)
• Make FPS Limiter Linux compatable + VK_EXT_present_timing (if that makes sense even)
• Make CMAKE better for release build
• Convert to VK_EXT_descriptor_heap. (Two backends in an RHI?).
• Convert to Forward+. Mainly when the engine gets more advanced.
