A Word from the Author

Greetings!

I'm Benjamin, a devoted husband, doting dad, and proud wrangler of two delightfully zany cats, all while being a seasoned veteran in the gaming industry with more than a decade of experience under my belt.

I founded Terasology, an open-source project that began as a prototype during my studies, and later open-sourced my rendering playground, Intrinsic. My professional experience includes making fundamental contributions to the core engine and rendering technology in titles such as The Surge, The Surge 2, Lords of the Fallen, and Atlas Fallen.

Now, I'm channeling my passion for voxels, modern rendering techniques, and efficient low-level programming into my latest independent project, IOLITE. With a powerful editor and extensive scripting capabilities, IOLITE offers an enjoyable and straightforward way to create games.

What excites me the most is the prospect of building a community of voxel enthusiasts who can contribute their feedback and ideas to help shape IOLITE's future. If you're passionate about voxels like I am, I would be thrilled to have you join me on this journey and be part of the IOLITE community.

Cheers,

Benjamin
