Esoterica: Prototype Game Engine

SMRTR summary

Esoterica is an MIT-licensed prototype game engine framework aimed at technical teams who want a solid foundation for building their own engine tech. It ships with reflection, serialization, resource management, an animation graph system, a hybrid Actor/ECS model, and DearImgui-based tooling. It's not a production-ready or contribution-open project, but a serious R&D starting point for experienced engine developers.
