Hello! My name is Nathan Hurde and I am a full-time independent open source developer. I am the creator and project lead of Game Pencil Engine, a lightweight C++ based game 🎮 engine which focuses on modular design principals.

The Game Pencil Engine is MIT licensed 📜open-source project and designed from the start to run on as many platforms as possible. A Game Engine is truly a daunting task to not just run effectively, but to also be constantly updated for new features, bug fixes, new platforms and devices. With your generous support we (my partner Chase Lee and contributors) can continue this and other projects to continue to keep democratizing both gaming and application development. 😊

Thanks, you from the bottom of my heart. ❤️

– Nathan
