I'm a 21-year-old wannabe gamedev who started out with HL modding in 2014. I am the author of Half-Life: ADM: https://github.com/Admer456/halflife-adm

• Elegy Engine, a WiP retro FPS engine based on Godot
• Half-Life SDK programming tutorials on YouTube

I worked on:

• Half-Life Decay: Solo Mission - programming
• WAR: The Savior's Order - programming and terrain art

Current PC specs:
GPU - EVGA RTX 3060
CPU - Intel Core i5 8400
Memory - 16 GB DDR4
Storage - 1000 GB Seagate HDD, 1000 GB Samsung 960 EVO SSD and 250 GB Samsung 860 EVO SSD
Monitor - Asus VG249Q1R, 165 Hz 1080p IPS panel

Engines I've toyed around with: GoldSRC, Source 1 and 2, Quake engine, CryEngine 1

Engines I've tried for gamedev (more, less, little) with a brief review on the side:

• idTech 4 - serviceable, good technology inside, tooling fairly lacking
• idTech 3 - very nice if you're coming from GoldSRC, but needs lots of work for proper singleplayer games
• Godot - Unity but extremely tiny & open-sors, I really like it, currently using 4.1!
• Unigine - Unreal Engine-like but extremely lightweight, really sweet programming & modelling workflow
• Unity - it's serviceable with good documentation, just not a fan of the licencing
• CryEngine 5 - powerful but not indie-friendly at all
• Unreal Engine 4/5 - definitely not for me, very hardware-demanding, clearly meant for large studios, C++ compile times huge
