Ray Tracing for Your Game
Rayve has a unique, fully ray traced renderer. See your game with beautiful lighting, shadows, reflections. Physically based materials look amazingly realistic. Temporal antialiasing smooths out the scene for a wonderful look.
Low Friction
Rayve is designed to be simple and fast. Rayve's API is contained in a single C++ header file. The framework is very straightforward. Once the basic coding pattern is learned, the same pattern is used all through development.
Oh no, C++!
Rayve is a C++ engine. C++ can be really difficult. Rayve uses only the most basic features of C++ possible. Just a fundamental understanding of C++ is good enough. Because C++ is native compiled it lets you add more to your game and still keep it fast!
Straightforward Rendering
Current game engines use rasterization for rendering which involves a lot of complex technology and overhead. Rendering in Rayve is extremely simple because ray tracing is extremely simple.
Minimal Footprint
Rayve is very lightweight. The API will always be curated. Bloat and complexity are the enemy. In case Rayve doesn't have the right features, Unity and Unreal probably do.
Growing Feature Set
PBR materials, Dynamic lights, Dynamic shadows, Global illumination,Animated materials, GPU characters, GPU particles, Physics engine, Scene queries, Collision events, Game serialization, Spatial audio, Skyboxes, Fog
Modeling Tool as Level Editor
Rayve intentionally does not have a level editor. It was decided a dedicated modelling tool using Rayve's naming convention was better for creating content.
The Bad...
Windows PC's and Nvidia GPU's are required for now. There are options to help run on lower end cards, but Rayve really shines on cards with higher RTX counts. Also, Rayve is closed source.

But not all bad...
Fortunately, Windows/Nvidia is the majority of Steam users. AMD support is likely at some point.
