Pinecone Engine

Finished
Phase 1 — Engine Foundations
The foundation of Pinecone is here. A lightweight Rust engine built around running games on hardware that other modern engines often leave behind.
- Model, animate, and create textures all within the Editor, without worrying about compatibility.
- 2D and 3D rendering
- OpenGL ES 2.0 support, with CPU Rendering as fallback
- Voxel and Mesh game modes
- Keyboard, mouse, controller and audio foundations
- ARM and x86 build support
- Foundations of Editor. Lua-Style scripting, with full API/RAG/MCP.

In Progress
Phase 2 - Game Creation Tools
Making games shouldn't require building everything from scratch. We're developing the tools that turn Pinecone into a complete creation platform.
- Scriptable game logic with Lua
- Visual editor and live game previews
- 3D model importing and animation
- AI-assisted creation through MCP and developer documentation
- Expanded physics, terrain and entity systems

Planned
Phase 3 — Playable Games & Public Testing
Time to put Pinecone to the test with real games, real players, and real hardware.
- A voxel survival sandbox
- A physics and creativity-focused toybox
- A 2D exploration and survival game
- Public playtesting and performance optimization
- Testing on low-cost ARM laptops
- Custom Pinecone OS that can squeeze performance from devices with a minimal operating system

Planned
Phase 4 — Monoarchy Game Marketplace
A home for games that anyone can discover, download, play, and eventually publish.
- Downloadable .pinecone game packages
- Personal game libraries
- Creator publishing tools
- Free and paid games
- Offline gameplay and portable game ownership

Phase 5 — Long-Term Goal
Pinecone's long-term goal is to make gaming accessible wherever computers exist.

Your hardware. Your games. No compromises on creativity.

Pinecone is a lightweight game engine and gaming platform built for the computers you already own. Play, create, and share games on everything from low-power ARM laptops to modern PCs.

Built small. Dream big.

Powered by Rust and designed around lightweight graphics, Pinecone brings 2D, voxel, and 3D game creation to hardware that modern engines often leave behind.

Describe it. Build it. Play it.

Pinecone is designed to work with AI coding agents through its scripting API, documentation, and development tools. Turn your ideas into playable games without having to build an engine yourself.

Discover games made for more than just expensive PCs.

Explore lightweight games, install them through Pinecone, and build your own collection. A platform designed to make gaming and game creation more accessible.
