Custom fragment and vertex shaders. Any support for code-only people?
As per title, I'd like to use my own shaders and code.

The API seems exceptionally bare right now and lacking in documentation. I know, its early access and so on.

For reasons outside of my comprehension, I may need to acquire and use this engine for an upcoming project.

Am I able to write the missing required features myself or am I solely at the mercy of current official development cadence?

Are there plans to make a serviceable API for code-centric development or is this a strictly draggy-droppy winforms ide situation?

Many thanks

Hi, JC-san

Of course, we will add support in that area if it is missing.
If there are areas where you would like to extend functionality with plug-ins, but do not think it is currently possible, please send us a request. We believe that in many cases this is already possible, and we would be happy to advise you.

The shaders are already arbitrarily extensible, although the description/documentation is not yet available at this time.
Copy and paste one of the existing cg files into [install path]\lib\sysresource\shader\Builtin\ and rewrite the GUID around line 5 and you will see that you have more shader options when specifying materials.

Thank you! :-D

Code only would be pretty cool, an IDE would be very welcome as the 'software' (used lightly) is very eye-candy but empty core, as someone who likes code.. i would like to code effects/events/maybe the whole map layout/battle systems for games not just turn-based/character movements to use a sword outside of battles etc (like harvest moon type games or just for certain events).. even the VTech style event system is far more basic than Scratch/BYOB/Wiskers which is a little useless as of now.
