Luminary Labs
Nexus Open Source Suite
Interoperable, modular tools for game development, AI orchestration, and augmented reality — built in the open, for the community.
Nexus Engine
Pre-Release · Q3 2026 TargetThe Nexus Engine is a standalone, interoperable orchestration engine designed for modular game development and AI logic pipelines. It operates on the principle that logic is a sequence of asynchronous phases, decoupled from the underlying rendering or physics runtimes.
Unlike traditional game engines, Nexus treats sequencing as the core engine and rendering/logic-backends as swappable modules — providing unprecedented portability across Unity, Dart CLI, and future C++ environments.
🧬 Core Architecture
Phase-Driven Lifecycle
Idle → Initialize → Running → Finished → Unload → Unloaded — deterministic execution on any platform
Hierarchical Flow
Logic is composed, not inherited. Complexity arises from parent-child node arrangement
Modular Handlers
Graphics, AI, audio — each capability is an encapsulated module the engine orchestrates
Standalone Runtime
Runs in any environment with a C# or Dart bridge, with future C++ cores planned
⚡ NexusTask System
Zero-Allocation Async
ValueTask-like struct-based awaitables prevent GC pressure in low-latency game loops
Compiler Integration
[AsyncMethodBuilder] provides native async/await syntax for all handler lifecycle methods
Platform Agnostic
Portable across .NET environments and mirrored in the Dart LinearRunner implementation
Nexus Engine Standalone
Native Sequence-Based Architecture. A decoupled, event-driven hierarchy for high-performance orchestration.
Root Orchestrator
System Authority
The primary kernel managing global state transitions. It handles the high-level orchestration from Boot → Runtime → Shutdown.
Module Controllers
Sub-system Management
Localized orchestrators for specific engine systems (e.g., Physics, Audio, Input). These self-organize through native sequence registries.
Action Sequences
Behavior Logic
Executable sequences that perform specific tasks. They bridge high-level intent with low-level execution calls.
Engine Kernels
Native Primitives
The atomic building blocks. These nodes interface directly with the Native Event Bus and execute low-level memory operations.

Modular by Design. Decoupled by Necessity.
Module System
The engine orchestrates — modules provide the capabilities.
