Ex-Blizzard Dev Writes A Particle System From Scratch - Never Engine Devlog 1

Hey guys, It's been a little minute, but I've been cooking up some new things with the engine!In this episode of the Never Engine Devlog series we're tackling Particle Systems. What they are and how you go about making one yourself. There's a bunch of resources out there for how to make a particle system demo, but not so much in regards to how you'd go about actually making one that's flexible enough for games. So I figured I'd try and do something about that!
