Forever Engine Legacy

An open-source, quality of life and performance driven Friday Night Funkin' mod engine!

If you want scripting and the new 1.0 features without waiting for 1.0, try out the unstable build. All new features are to go to this new repository, as legacy will only receive maintenance and parity updates.

Forever Engine is currently in legacy state as it is being rewritten.

The legacy version of Forever Engine lacks accessibility and cohesion, something we are currently working to fix with the more newer and updated rewrite.

FOREVER ENGINE LEGACY IS ONLY MEANT TO BE USED ON DESKTOP! I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR CRASHES/PROBLEMS WITH HTML5, NOR AM I RESPONSIBLE FOR MAINTAINING HTML5.

Features:

• Noteskins;
• Custom UIs;
• Options Menu with FPS Capping and Adjustments;
• A lot of modularity and freedom with options
  • (Hopefully in the future everything will be toggleable);
• A restructure/partial remake of the base game's codebase;
• source/ folder abstraction;
• More streamlined code
  • (only having to set things in one place).

AND MORE!
